adjust your garage door so it goes back up when it hits something to keep it from happening again. Buy a MS bumper

He must have stuck out the rear and miscalculated when he parked

Thank you all for your sympathy and kind advice during a time of crisis - it means a lot. Panic over however - the garage sorted it out for me gratis and its now almost invisible. Surely I am not the stupidest RX8 owner to browse these pages. R.reveal your little accidents here; you'll feel better.

Dude, glad to hear it all got fixed up - and gratis no less! I don't have a personal accident ... YET! Though when I got the car (used), someone had put a huge scratch in the front bumper. Some idiot painted the scratch with touch-up like they were doing a manicure! Now I have a nice thick stripe of paint on my bumper ... it will be addressed as soon as I figure out how.

Dude, don't worry. I did that once too, but the garage door was set very sensitive and it didn't do anything. I have a large 2 car garage, my wife wasn't home and I decided to park in the middle like an ***. Well, With all the room I had, I didn't pull in enough. It didn't leave a mark though thank God. I just felt like a dumbass.
