You must have a small garage like me, Ive had some close calls in my garage and dirtbike, but one time I did the ol classic park my truck in the the driveway and forget it was there and back into it out of the garage, pushing in the bumper on the truck and crushing the paint on my rear bumper, that was a great start for the day

Another time, I left my car in my driveway which is on a hill, warming up wile I grab something in the house. A few minutes go by and I don't hear my car anymore I run out to see my S rolling down my driveway gaining speed, about 15mph at this point, heading for a fenced off retention pond on one side and on the other a reflective barrier wood fence to keep you out of the 20' clif that is on the other side, my car with my driver side door still open part way decided to run in between these two obstacles and ground itself on a curb and wedge the door against the side of the retention pond fence. I got away scott free with just a few chips on the door. my car was high centered on the curb thing though and had to wait that morning for someone to pull me out before I could go to work
That sucks junky... I've feared that myself as my driveway is pretty steep. Steep enough that my girlfriend's car slid from the top of the driveway to the street when it snowed. We had trouble making it up the driveway so I told her to put in in 4 Lo. and we slowly crawled to the top. After she put it in park and turned the car off we started sliding backwards with all 4 tires locked. Not a great feeling.
