That aint no joke.  Before my paint job I let me car roll off some of those car ramps you use to change your oil.  I forgot it was in neutral and it narrowly missed me and slammed into the garage door opening.  Put a pretty decent dent on the quarter panel right below the fuel door.

Definately hurt my pride...I'm just glad I wasn't in between it and the door or I might be 10 toes up right now ;).

Yea could be worse...at least no one was hurt.  I messed up once and had my 93 topaz land in my lap.  I somehow managed to come away without any major injuries.

If you look in my garage you'll see a few little burn outs. Ive never gave it much thought till now. I'm sorry you hurt yours  and I hope I'm smart enough to learn from your mistakes.
Good luck on the search for parts hope to see some more videos from you at the track

Bah thats an easy fix, i did a 65 mustang coupe for a guy 2 years ago, full resto new quarters, floors, ect, the day he brought it home he was backing it off the trailer, thought he put it in gear when it was in neutral and it rolled into a huge tree, smashed the rear body panel, and hit the quarter so hard it was pushed up against the door.  Had to replace that same quarter again, Now that was a big F-up!
