Remember my post about Nana and PaPa "hitting SoWal". Well..........that happened this a.m. PaPa was allowed to go turn the beloved Benz SUV around and back into the garage so he could pack up,as today was come home day. Apparently, he confused the brake and gas and took off the side of our house along with the back of the Benz!
We are waiting on a friend to go over and make a picture and e-mail it so we can actually see the damage. NaNa's in hysterics. PaPa just repeats over and over, "I'm screwed." All in all it's been a fun morining. Good side of the story, aside from the abuse he will have heaped on him from Seacrest Beach to Asheville, NC he's fine! We may fly him home.

Looks more like an earthquake hit than a Mercedes!!!!! I heard you were quick to say...."No, your car insurance, NOT my homeowner's!!!" You must have a PhD. as well!!!! Runs in the family!

Re: Holy Crap! (Photos)
Well, we've got some photos now. We also saw the Mercedes. Looks like German engineering is tougher than our house's. On the other hand, I expect the car will cost more to fix.Oh good. You saved me the trouble of downloading my pictures. I took some photos, but I thought the damage was very minimal. Nothing to be alarmed about.

We feel the same. I would suspect the most painful thing will be trying to find a contractor to do the work. Maybe his insurance adjuster will have some suggestions. I was glad to see PaPa. Poor little thing cried. We told him as long as he was fine that was all that mattered.
He was smiling when he left though. My daughter them to the NICU to meet Baby Camden!
The nurse brought him over and handed him right to PaPa! He was so happy!:clap_1:

I was going to tell you to give PaPa a big hug, but holding Camden is even better than that! Both boys have had a rough spell...I bet they bonded instantly!!!

The title of this thread just kills me! "Holy Crap!" And now, it has evolved into something sweet like the new baby Camden updates! We need to somehow change this title!

With a new baby, there is sure to be a lot crap. On occasion, perhaps even a Holy Crap!, esp when that little boy has a wee on someone's face who happens to be changing the diapers. Keep your face out of his range. :funn:

I should start a Baby Camden thread. This has been a strange weekend though, too much drama going on. I tend to slap up a post in odd places. I'll do better tomorrow, I promise. It is confusing.

I like the "Holy Crap" title and thread. It's an attention getter. It's also been very amusing to read. :clap_1:

Gotothebeachmom, I have a bone to pick with you! You should have called me when PawPaw crashed the car into your house. I'd have been down the road in two seconds flat. We were at the beach last week, you know! ;-)
Crashing cars into houses is a specialty at our house, and Merman and I could have commiserated for hours about it. We regularly do it. Merman could have shown PawPaw the chunk that's missing out of his left rear wheel well from the time he ran into the deck. And I could have told him about the time I backed out of the garage without putting the door up. And then there's the steps to the stoop that I took out with one slow reverse. Or the deck chairs that I crunched, and then the following week, the beer cooler that I forgot to put away. It's so easy to crunch things around our house that we don't give it a second thought. We'd have shrugged off what PawPaw did to yours without any trouble!
(Just for the record though. Our house was built in the 20s to accomodate the Model T. It's not nearly as accomodating to modern cars and we're *luckily* not the only people who have trouble in the driveway, good thing, too, because we'd surely be feeling like the biggest driving nincompoops in the universe otherwise!)
