My wife's now retired boss (also an ex-pilot) was moving his Ferrari  
Testarossa out of the garage to get to the lawnmower. Since his knee was giving  him 
problems, he had his wife sit in it while he pushed it back. (See this one  
coming?) As it slowly started out down the driveway - slowly but surely  - his 
wife couldn't find the parking brake so he had to reach in and grab  the brake 
(or watch it crunch the curb and probably another car). In doing so,  he broke 
the attachment for the drivers door mirror and off it  came. The door was 
also tweaked (technical term) and warped. The bill for  repair? The mirror was 
$1100 - Available as a unit only, no piece parts  available. The total bill 
including straightening out and repainting of the door  and surround = $8000.  - 
Ouch (Think of the lawnmower you could buy for  $8000!) - Seth Emerson
