Glad all are ok, best to learn a lesson where no one was hurt it may save a life later on.
But seriously tho' were any bows hurt?  ;) ::)
Remind me again... the brake is the big one on the left? Right? errr I mean left... (sorry... hope it's not too soon for silliness)

Glad no one was hurt....I've been there Clint, I parked my bass boat under the car port and one night my daughter did the same thing, knocked the boat into the back yard about 30ft.  She woke up her mother and she thought they could push it back in place without me knowing lol lol.  It happens.... I got to know the local body shop really good for a few years, with my girls.  again glad no one was hurt.

Luckily no bows or tools were damaged.  A handful of clamps were nocked to the ground.  And between the wife and kids we know the local body shop owner pretty well.  I hope this is the last time we have to see him for a while.

Hope ya have the "correct" insurance company.

Sorry about the car and shop, that stuff is fixable!  The #1 thing is nobody got hurt. I see you started on the big stage with holes in it! Can't wait to see it finished out

I got the bark and sapwood off of that stave yesterday before the excitement happened.  I got a better look at those knots.  It's going to be a major challenge.

We've had the same insurance for the last 17 years.  They have always taken good care of us.

Went through incidents similar to that with 4 daughters of my own Clint. Good to hear your'e all ok, she'll be more careful from now on I bet.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Glad no-one was hurt Clint, hopefully your daughter learned a valuable lesson

Exactly what Aaron said.  Im just glad no one was hurt.

If I seen the wall coming at me I think I would've had to change my shorts.
At least nobody was hurt that's the main thing.

Glad everyone is ok.
Not as bad as the time I crashed into a parked car ::) coworkers still bring that one up occasionally.

Pedals have been pretty annoying to get the hang of. I think I once pressed both the gas and brake at the same time while at an intersection and scared the heck out of me and my mom. Still just have my learner's permit. Thankfully no crashes yet..

She should probably look into improving her pedal 'form'. I find I have to keep the heel of my right foot closer to the brake than to the gas to prevent what happened.. still not very comfortable, which is annoying, oh well

Sheesh Clint, that's scary.  I'm sure she was beside herself.  Really glad you are all alright.

Padals... you wanna try a car with hand controls  :o !
I scared the c&*p out of myself trying to move my son's car one time... it has hand controls... when I wanted to stop I pressed my foot down on a big steel blanking plate that covers over the pedals and of course nothing happend :o Got my brain in gear just about in time and pushed the hand control so hard I nearly went through the windscreen :laugh:
