Celica Forums General Discussion General My garage door messed up my Celica

I'm getting out of the shock faze and into the fixing faze. My garage door dropped the sec I backed out of my Garage. I always look and I could see it was open, but the chain failed and it dropped fast 240lbs drops and I hit it at the half way mark, just above the bumper, sorry no pics, I can't look at it right now.

It could have been a hell of lot worse but I stepped on that brake and grabbed the ebrake faster than could count maybe 1/2 to 3/4 sec.

So anyhow, now I need tails and maybe even a spoiler, can't even drive it until I get tails, it destroyed them to hell. The whole backend will probably need painted, some bodywork, fun fun fun, mom can we do it again. Ok so I stopped and thought thank god it's not as bad as it could be, but damn it, with only 2,500 miles on it, I'm pissed.

I added a spring loaded system to the door today "thanks to home depot" so it will no happened again even if the chain breaks it will stay up. Apparently this was something that was not installed before that should have been. Probably because the dumb ass that owned this home before me was a lawyer and had his cheap ass head up his fucking ass. *finds lawyer and kicks the shit out of him then pulls pants down and pisses on him* ahhhhhhh now I feel better.

BTW: I just got out of the car and didn't even look at it first I walked up stairs and said to myself that did not just happen, no fucking way %$$&%$%$^&$&$#%$#^%#$#%$#%#&$$%#$%#$&#$&#$#$#, then walked back down to the garage and looked. not cool

So many wrecked Celi's this year already

WOW
sux

well actually i think your the first for this year...

too bad, my dads an idiot and backed into the edge of the garage door once backing out, and broke this little part on our van that was impposble to replace, hes stupid

that sucks

Man, what a bummer. Sorry to hear. I've got a door with springs, but I sometimes worry it could come down too. Hope the repairs go well.

i backed into my garage door before i opened it, it was a night that i couldn't think but i had it fixed.

so sorry to hear
you were so excited to mod it too

sorry to hear it. good luck with everything.

sorry iggy

lol can't believe you admit to doing that

iggy, that's horrible hope you get it fixed

dam that jus sucks big nuts,

Yeah my mom has done that numerous times. I swear she is loosing her mind. She has also left the gas station without taking the pump out of the gas tank.

But, I'm sorry to hear that the Celica has been "wrecked". Just think it could have been much, much worse...

iggy ... that sucks

*hug iggy* sry hun It'll get better ... 3's remember... and you had 3!! so no more bad stuffs for iggy!! now go win the lotto and give me half lol

the celi will be better soon .. i never knew those things could fall.. then again our place has the old fashion manual ones you lift up yourself

2,500 miles wow! sorry to hear iggy

yup..mine included. was rear ended a couple of months ago and i havn't taken care of the bumper yet

damn that sux. hope you get it fixed soon

i was once backing out and the car was kinda of course
so i scrapped the side of mu door
it isnt that big of a mark
but i was planning to repaint it anyways

i always stick something in the rail of mine since i am scared of this happening so hopefully those springs will stop this from happening again

wow that sucks, hope you get it fixed soon

ditto here. our garage door is wood and with all this rain, it swells up and weighs a lot more than normal. i've been paranoid that it'll fall on my celi.

best of luck iggy.

thats fawking gay man

sorry to hear Iggy...good luck, it will be fixed soon and it will be brand new


PS sorry man, if i knew this is what happened, i would have given you my tail lights for free, sorry man

man i was always scared of that happening to me, just be HAPPY you didnt hit both 1/4 panels and take out your rear windshield

Man you guys are really cool, thanks for caring damn free tails TRDOTC, I would never do that to you.

I'm a fair person most of the time, I love deals but don't want to rip someone off just because my luck sucks big time right now.

so..your original garage door system only opened by a chain? how is that stron enough, the door must be made of thin aluminum or something, cause miens a big ass wooden door with 2 300lb springs on it

Sucks to hear that man.

It could have been much worse...
Thank God you weren't standing under the door when it fell.
