Super happy, walking to my car in the now light rain I notice something on top of my car. As I get closer I see that the sunroof has been in the "up" state all day, during a T-storm! Thankfully there wasn't a ton of water inside the car, but the headliner in the back and on the sunroof cover were soaked! On my way home to dry out the headliner I decide to stop by the bank. The driveway into the bank is fairly steep, so I slowly, at an angle, ease my way up the hill. As soon as I start to pull out of the dip I hear a slight scraping sound :(. After finishing up at the bank I head home and get my blowdryer and towel out to dry off the headliner and seats. I thought it might be easier to dry the top of the sunroof cover off from the roof, so I put a stepladder beside the passenger side door. Before I can step on I bump the ladder which falls into the door and rear quarter panel . Frustrated, I decide to back away and look at all the damage, including what happened at the bank. The bottom of the front bumper on the driver-side has a nice big scuff, and the passenger side door as a few light scratches and some contact paint on the rear quarter panel. I knew things like this would eventually happen, but I was hoping it would at least wait awhile! I realize the scuffs on the bumper will probably be the hardest to fix and may not be worth fixing since they aren't that noticeable. I'm hoping the scratches and contact paint can be buffed out tomorrow when my dealer details it (they owe me a detail and a fill-up from when I bought the car Monday night). Anyway, I decided it probably wasn't in my best interest to drive anymore tonight! My clumsiness has caused me enough grief for one day.

Dude, be careful! You caused all this damage yourself!
