I almost smashed a brand new Toyota on the front just by opening my front door tonight. You know what happens when you do that? All the airbags deploy. Extremely expensive for the car owner. No liability for me because she was illegally parked. Didn't call the cops only because apparently the owner of the car is family of my childhood friends; but if I had a car or a trike (and I'm aiming to do a trike), I would have totally fucked up that car just by opening my garage gate. Let me illustrate this point with this video:
Old lady p'wns mercedez asshole
That's an old lady that can barely walk. Imagine a 36 year old opening his garage gate in a brash manner (which is pretty much the manner I do everytihing in). That car would be so totalled. Don't think that pedestrians or someone just momentarily parking there would be in any danger either, because as I unlock the different bolts in the door, they make a very definitive sound, that would alert anyone that I'm about breach the gates of hell like a bat; But an unoccupied car parked too close to my garage gate is going to get totalled.
And I'm not about to put a sign that says "no parking" in front of my driveway either. When you see a garage door at the end of a driveway, you should assume that a vehicle comes out of it from time to time, and you don't know when, and you should at least have the decency of asking if you can park there, if you intend to, especially if the bigass gate can wreck your brand new Japanese piece of shit econocar.
Also, before you assume that it's because I'm being an asshole, I will let you know this. Motorcycle engines are not like car engines, and my trike would most likely have a large cc motorcycle engine. You have to warm them up. Now my garage is not completely enclosed. I has a lot of ventilation; but I'm sure If I just sat there with a motorcycle engine running, I would get carbon monoxide poisoning and die. That's why I would burst open the gate ASAP once I knew that the engine was ready to roll.
Also, Toyota's suck, and they will keep on sucking until they bring back a targa top Supra.
