Ouch!
Opened up the garage to get a magnetic pickup from my tools to try scoop a Blackberry out of our well (not mine the plumber's who was looking down the well - another disaster story from this weekend). Anyway, inside the garage my two steel tool chests have gone arse over and fallen on the front of my Z!
Repaint the hood and bumper cover - $2300! Not to mention the plumbing bill! Weekend from hell.

Re: Ouch!
Holy Crappers -- what a bummer Dave -- Suppose it could have been worse with the tool chest fall on the Z. -- Still a mega bummer.

Re: Ouch!
No structural damage thank goodness, just a lot of scratches, dings and gouges (the drawers on the chest opened so a few dozen wrenches and so on danced all over the hood doing the dirty.
Could have been worse I guess but man, bad enough. When I opened the garage door and saw the scene my heart stopped! How the hell does a tool chest fall over when it's stood on level slab? Unnoticed earthquake?

Re: Ouch!
That's a bummer Dave. Maybe Hil will let you get a new high rise carbon fibre hood

Re: Ouch!
Wow, that is a real bummer!
I've caught myself leaving multiple drawers open on my tool chest and wondered if I was tempting fate. Guess I'll be a bit more careful. |

Re: Ouch!
I wont even begin to figure out what would have tipped over two different tool chests. Unless your house is haunted. Did your insurance cover it?
