A car slid into my house today. Hit my garage door.

Oh my, you might want to give more details so some of these guys don't think it's your fault. Then you'll hear stuff like "That house must have jumped in front of you".

That sucks. Makes it kinda hard to open the door now eh? I'm sure house was moving and thereby at fault.

Second hit tonight. I have lived here for 54 years and never been hit before. Almost got the wife's car this time.

Holy schit!

What is going on with these jokers???

Make sure their insurance pay's for it, and not your home owners ins.

Glad nobody got hurt!

I'm thinkin - barricade, railroad ties, etc. Glad no one was hurt. There was (is?) a street in Fort Worth at a college that ended in a T. The people at the crux of the T had to install a steel guardrail with posts to keep wayward cars out of their front yard. Ice and snow didn't have much to do with it.

Bad news! The hardware looks brand new. That would suck. Garage doors are no match for SUV's.

Thats too bad, crazy two in one night.

Maybe add some big boulders to your landscaping if they came across the yard and not straight down the driveway.

I wish you the best in getting the damages fixed my friend!

Hopefully being hit twice does not complicate which insurance company blames the other in the most damage done.

Am I the only one who noticed he said he's lived there for 54 years? 54 years. How old are you?

Got the insurance estimate today. On one door they are going to pay what my contractor estimate was. On the other door they are actually paying more than the estimate. I can't argue with that. Should be all fixed by the end of next week.
