this is nothing though. i almost ran over myself. outside the car. u tell me how.
I had put the brake up, and left the car in drive, got out to check the engine vibration and the mounts. I guess i forgot, but I dont know what made me play with the throttle plate...

its alright....i was putting in my trip pod for my gauges in mine and after i cut the whole in the oem piece and went to put the gauge pod in it didnt fit with the gauges so i decided to try to re-cut while it was in the car. of course i used a broken box cutter and when i did it slipped and left a small cut over the glove box dash. now i get in my car i look at that one flaw in my interior. it stares me down first though. lol.

Yep, it sucks when this happens.
I did the same thing with the right kickpanel plastic. I pulled it off wrong while doing my install, and I put a hairline crack in the plastic in a VERY visible place. I epoxied the parts back together so it would fit back in, but sure enough, its RIGHT THERE when you're driving. DOH!
few years back i got a brand new 04 lancer and well one weekend i had decided to just wash the car at home... i usually goto one of the jet spray do it yourself places... well i filled up the soap bucket and proceeded to wash... when i got done and still had some soapy water so the brilliant idea i had was well "F it ill just toss the rest on the car" so i proceeded to you know throw the water onto the car and give it one final wipe down..... damned if the bucket didnt slip outta my hands dent the hood and knicked the window.... **** i was pissed... never again do i was at home now.
lol. you guys made me feel better. another stupid thing i did was... when i was putting back in the center console after installing the TWM bushings, i scraped up the inside of it just a tad. it doesn't look like a scrape, it looks like there was a sticker there before or something. a little spot turned a greyish color. other than that my interior is pretty flawless. oh! well, the part right above the hazards light, where that new guage pod would go, there was something on it so i decided to lick my finger and rub it out and it turned the plastic a shinier, lighter color in that area. doh! it's almost like you should own the car twice to make sure you don't make any mistakes. 
Man, I did something like that the other night. I was carrying my desktop computer down to put it in my car and very slowly, gently, leaed it against the side so I could open the door and as I did, my hips accidentally shift just enough to put several scratches in the side with the edge of the puter. I was ****ING PISSED!!!! I almost thru the puter on the ground.
oh i did... only reason why i stayed home to wash it was cause my wife was like why drive there to wash it just wash it here... so i called it the "holly dent" until i sold the car haha i felt a tad better until i looked at the hood

I've done just that with Supras. I had an 89 and a 91. It didn't help! You just find new mistakes.
