Wall mounted cabinet 1, Carrera 0
Just recently closed on our house, which has wall mounted cabinets throughout the garage. Wife was pulling a towel out of a cabinet this morning and the entire cabinet fell onto the hood of my car. It was just mounted into the dry wall, which is simply retarded. Have a few good size dents in the hood, and paint is scuffed up pretty bad in a few spots. Pretty livid, but what can I do...
Wife has bad luck in the garage, last year put a large cooler on a shelf at our old place and it ended up falling on my rear fender, which is another good sized dent on my car.

I feel for you - and for your wife. No worse feeling than having to tell a car lover that their baby just acquired some new dents.
Time for a respray.

Sad story...but it would be a good idea to give your house a good once over. If a previous owner was that stoopid there could be other dangers lurking. I'd start with wiring and plumbing.

Time for an upgrade on the....car? GT3 maybe?
It's just a car.
I dropped a 10' piece of aluminum pipe on mine last year. I could feel the steam pressure building and then I just chilled and walked away, didn't even stop everything to address it immediately.
After some cool down time and PDR, some polish, and clay bar it's barely noticeable.
I tried to rationalize it by "The car is 10yrs old." "Now it has a little character." I'm still pis-ed at my clumsy move. Car still drives wonderfully.
+1 on checking other things in the house. What are the kitchen cabinets screwed into?
