Tried to garage my 4Runner with my newly repaired bike in the roof rack.
Dead Sid fork, dead Yak QTowers, dented facia board.

You got to be kidding... that sucks.
SIDs are poo unless you are a racer boi anyway. Time for a new bike and a hitch rack
are you now stuck at 10,000?
What a knucklehead move.

The lowers... snapped where the skewer clips in to the rack.

so that now means that EVERY post you put up HAS to rock...

Well, a working Sid beats a busted Sid...
Bummer man. I did the same thing a couple of years ago, only you can add "dented roof of car, mangled roof rack, and broken frame." I still get a pit in my stomach whenever I pull into the carport. Sometimes I even have to stop and check to see if there is a bike on top.
another good reason for a hitch mount rack.
my wife killed my old kona driving into the garage. snapped the headtube right off. the rest of the parts were fine, and i garnered enough guilt points to buy a spooky frame and a schwinn frame.

It happens all the time...I did that years ago...put a hole in the house above the garage...jacked up my saddle...broke the grip shift pod...and tore the sh!t outta the roof of my brand new jetta...sucked ass...when I went to have the rack looked at the guys at the Sportsrack said it happens ALL the time. I had a friend who did it TWICE...
you guys park in your garage in the summer??
Were you doing like 30 into the garage? Or just keep hitting the accelerator? That is an awful lot of damage.dh girlie said:

Ummm...ask the telephone pole and the flag pole I nailed with mine...hahahaha!
I didn't stop accelerating...till I heard what sounded like a velociraptor trying to tear the roof off my car. Total brain fart...I was covered in mud and sitting on a plastic bag still in my bike clothes...stupid ass...Polandspring88 said:
my mom did that a few years back. the bikes were fine amazingly enough, but one of the feet of the rack put about a 1.5-2 inch deep dent/divot in the roof of the civic it was on 
. when the car was totalled a year or so later after an accident (other guy's fault) she was all "oh, that dent must have gotten there in the accident!" heh

You're pretty much out to kill your bikes......dh girlie said:
The bikes weren't involved in the telephone and flag poles...which is probably why I made contact with both...I had an aftermarket hitch put on my truck, and it's further under the bumper than the factory installed ones, and I had to get this 9" extender for my rack in order for it to fold up properly and it sticks way the f out and my truck has THE worst blind spots...really hard to tell how close you are to something...you should see me trying to parallel park with that damn rack on.DRB said:

Weren't you getting a new bike anyway?
I'm still waiting for the pics...
just make it tall enough to accomodate a bike on your roof rack...because eventually, you will get used to seeing the picture...and drive into the garage with the bike on the rack...jollytime said:
This time, even I feel bad for you, N8.
After running my Trek Y22 into the garage and having my insurance company cover me for a new (well, new to me) bike, I keep my garage door opener in the glove box when I ride, as well as having a big cardboard sign taped to the inside of my garage door that flops down and says "BIKE, DUMBASS" on it.
Hopefully I won't run my current bike into it until I need a new one.

Oh my god...warn a person, will you! :angry:DNA said:
N8 that sucks. About ten years ago a dude came into the shop where I was working with two very trashed bikes. I thought I was being smart when I guessed he had tried to drive into his garage. He said "No, but close. I did this trying to drive OUT of my garage."
He loaded up the car very late the night before an early morning start. Apparently not a morning person.

N8, if it makes you feel better:
We had an older guy come in a few months ago to buy a Klein Reve. He has a roof rack. Month later he comes back after driving it into his garage. Downtube is folded.
Funny thing is, they had just put in new gutters that got destroyed.
Gutters are replaced and his replacement frame gets in. 3 days later he comes in and I ask him how the bike is. He wheels it up to me, looks like he is crying and the downtube is folded. He also destroyed the brand new gutters...again.
Fortunately insurance and credit card company cover it because it was so new. You might want to look into it. So don't worry, you aren't quite as dumb as Bob.
