Oh come on now Greg, you can't mean "everyone". Surely there are some of us
who
have never made a mistake.
I know that I have never done anything stupid like that....
Unless of course you consider the time just after I finished doing a ground-up
restoration on a 65 VW Beetle for my daughter, and took it out for a spin. I
put
my hand on the seat and felt something sticking up. So I looked down to see
what
it was. When I looked up, the front of the VW was wedged neatly under the
bumper
of a pickup. Not a scratch on the pickup, but the hood, both fenders and the
driver side headlight were crunched. Back to the shop for another round of
sheet
netal work.
Never mind.....
