and plowed into the car you parked just outside of said garage? This has got to be the dumbest ass thing I've ever done. Three grand in damage to the various cars involved.

Oh I've got PDC. I zoned out but I recall wondering what all the fuss was about with the PDC beeping and then -- BAM -- nailed my Jeep. I had parked the Jeep about 25 feet outside the garage the night before and (obviously) forgot it was there. The 550 held up well -- small dent in the deck lid and a small scrape in the bumper. The Jeep's 2 passenger side doors are severely damaged.

I would estimate between 10 and 60 miles per hour.
