I bought a GMC Sierra Duramax a while back. I kept my Tundra too because I just like that truck. But it won't be able to tow a 24' cargo trailer I bought to move our family out to Tennessee. Anyway, after only having my Sierra for two weeks, my key and fob disappeared. The Jr DFs always take my keys when they can't find theirs so naturally I'm convinced one of them has mine somewhere.

No go. No one knows what happened to my keys and fob. After giving up the search, I bought a new fob and a replacement key. Skip ahead to yesterday. While under my new truck installing upgrade parts, I happened to look up at the tow hitch area. What do I find hanging from a wire loom? Three guesses..........my key and fob. I mumbled to myself, "How the crap did that get there?"

It appears one evening while working on the tailgate surface, I left the fob on it rather than placing it in my pocket. When I finished fiddling around outside, it had gotten dark. The fob must have slipped between the gate and bed when I closed everything up. And there hung my keys for the next 300 miles. lol

When I confessed to the fam, I caught retributive ridicule for having blamed them. Sure was funny seeing my key and fob hanging from the trailer wiring...

The retribution was having to finance a new fob…

Never admit to something like that. You should know better.

Well that’s better then driving through the garage door.

If I recall, you have mentioned that Mrs. DF has done that.

I've blamed the wife for things like that. When she finally notices the item has been found (and obviously not her fault) she will ask where it was? Ill just mumble and point, uh it was over there......

Hey...that's not funny. I did that in our Suburban a couple years ago. Cold morning, push button from inside the Suburban instead of the wall, yap at the kids to buckle up, see the door cleared the back window...CRUNCH SCRAPE SCREECH! Forgot there was several more inches of Suburban above the window and tore the last section of the door off the tracks. New insulated door was a big improvement though.

I thought that only happened in the V-Tail domain.

[Looks down at floor, shuffles feet, slowly raises hand]. Yup, BTDT. [/Looks down at floor, shuffles feet, slowly lowers hand]

Back home after college, living at home for a year. It was a Saturday morning and I had to be at work by 07:00. I had been out way too late and partying way too hard the night before, and was hungover. Car was parked in front of the right side garage door, and I sit sideways in the drivers seat to swing both feet onto the driveway so I can put my work boots on, and figure I'll start the car to let the engine warm up. While teaching me to drive a few years earlier, Dad had drilled into me that all manual transmission cars were to be left in gear, even when parked with the E brake on and the engine off... I knew that...but in my diminished state, I forgot my car was in gear. Hit the starter, engine starts and car leaps through the garage door, with me sitting side saddle in it.

Dad was in the kitchen making breakfast, heard the crash, opens the kitchen door to the garage, takes one look at me sitting sideways with my car half way in the garage door and half out, with my mouth hanging open and this "oh shit" look on my face, shakes his head... and says, "you know who's paying for that right?" and goes back to making breakfast.

Mrs. V-Tail slipped on ice (while visiting the kids in Ohio, not here in Florida) and broke a bone or two in her foot.

She was wearing a boot cast on her right foot. She wanted to move the car that was in the driveway. Without the ability to feel through the boot cast, she did not realize that when she was stepping on the brake, her foot was actually pressing two pedals at the same time.

The harder she pressed the brake, the louder the engine got. Bottom line: Volvos are stronger than garage doors.

Can't relate. Never done anything like it.

Yeah, did the same thing except the hurricane bar on the garage door grabbed the rear windshield wiper and blew the glass to smithereens. Wife wasn't to happy as it was daily driver.
