I did the same thing with my last car, while cleaning it in the garage. Luckily I stopped it before bending the hinges, but I messed up the door skin a little.

You might be able to sell that door panel on here, btw.

time for carbon fiber fender and door on driver side
or "look honey, suicide doors"

...IMO just be glad it was the car and not your leg.

Basically, I test a servers' self-management system, to make sure that it works according to the system spec.

For example, if I remove a system fan, the server is supposed to ramp up all of the other fans to 100%, then send out an alert, telling the user that there was a fan fault. I create this event, to make sure that the alert is actually sent, and verify that the system correctly identifies the failed fan.

I'll admit when I do something stupid. No sense in denying it.

I've never seen anyone do this to a Z but I have actually seen someone do this is person three times. Two of the times I have seen this was at Goodyear. One of the guys doing an oil change finished up a car and just got in it and starting backing it out. I seen it coming and just watched. The look on his face was hilarious. I don't understand why anyone would back up with their door open when they're around something such as a wall. Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not trying to be mean. Glad it wasn't you though.

Update: (not that anybody cares) Ok, so the adjuster had to come out and write up another estimate, because of damage he didn't see, until the body shop did the tear-down. New damage estimate $4300, and now STILL waiting for the parts.
