Doing a brake job? Please don't forgot to pump your brakes. I rolled out of the garage for the first time and didn't even make it out of the parking lot without some BS.

Rolled right into a parked car

Quick fix though

All better. Threw the smoked corners on, some Lamin-x on the highs and fogs. Painted some chrome. Fresh bumper trim

break = misaligned, damage, ruin
brake = stop, decrease speed

the irony here is that you actually did break something so although you used the wrong word, it still works in this thread with a better connotation than intended. lucky break.

It happened so fast, no time to react. Even though I wasnt even going 1mph.

That's too bad, but it seems like you were able to recover easily enough.

Side note: I did not know Rick Santorum was in that movie.

Lol I remember years ago my brother did a brake job on his 61 Willys wagon and forgot to bleed them. Smacked right into the front bumper of our motor home and pushed it back into the fiberglass fender. Didn't do squat to the Willys though lol.
