Randall, Something that you will certainly laugh about in 10 years. Don't be too hard on yourself!  | ||

I reach in and start my car all the time, usually from the passenger seat. I've done it the last 2 days. Part of the 'joy' of owning the car is that it really needs to warm before it's driven. Sorry for your mishap. | ||

We've ALL done things like this Randall. As John said, don't beat yourself up. | ||

Sorry about your mishap. Makes me glad I am too short to reach in and turn the key. I might have done it myself. | ||

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Just take a deep breath and don't beat yourself up. Luckily nobody was hurt, which is the main concern. She will be as new once again. Sorry to hear that  | ||

I made a huge mistake. While working on my car, I needed to start it, so I reached through the window and turned the key..... forgot to check if it was in gear. Well, now I know 308's will start in gear and not die, but rather take off. At least most of the damage is limited to the front spoiler.  |
