I broke my Bronco Top! Smashed my soft top into garage wall

[1975U15]

I have no idea why they call it a right of passage, because it definitely feels wrong!

It's almost as embarrassing as it is sad.

Yea I don't ever put it completely down. Easier, faster, and still get that open view just pushing it back

Every day mine is flipped back! It's awesome, really is. Until I forgot!!!

I know a guy who drove his Tesla Model X into his garage (at least partially) with the rear gull wing doors all the way up....not a pretty site, the glass roof, doors, hinges and frame were a mess.

At least you can try to repair the damage or replace the top.

Oh I would have so much rather ripped off a bike wrack than my expensive Ford top! Not that either are enjoyable don't get me wrong.

Have seen the carnage of over $10k worth of bikes being driven into a garage header before. Both the bikes and rims where carbon fiber, it was a mess.

Let air out of tires put all those kids you have back in and punch it

Well after this happened and my head wasn't in the right space, while trimming the trees still thinking about my broken Bronco, I trimmed the last of the limbs that could have posed a risk to my mom's house and leaned too far out ladder slid, I slide, broke my foot. So it did get worse.

Dude!!! So sorry!! Thanks for sharing you just saved one of us from doing the same thing.

Need a pic of the adult beverages you must have had after I'm guessed the ED visit. Tough day and looks easy to forget. Noted for my future though mine will live outside since garage is full.

I feel like I would never, ever, do this again. It was that stupid of me, but I do have some ideas on helping me checklist my garage entry.

Oh that must've been a horrible sound. Don't even want to imagine. Good Friend does Triathlons, great bikes are not cheap!

A guy came into my shop a month or so ago. Destroyed a Diverge and an Instinct C70 on his roof rack. Wrecked the brand new garage a bit too.

The real problem is that we can't get him bikes or parts to replace anything until next year.

This isn't a bad idea at all. Seems unnecessary until I did what I did. An ounce of prevention right.
