Sad Camaro day

First if anyone can answer my Eibach question in the suspension section please help. now the story. while backing onto my ramps outside my garage I gave it a little bit too much gas went over the ramps into my garage door. two panels ruined on the garage door and I have to repaint the rear of the car. simple install cost me $1200. I could cry. not really but this totally sucks. is my first time using ramps and I just was a little bit too aggressive on the gas. oh well live and learn. I have to work a little oovertime. 1200 bucks could have gone to better uses. Really wanted hi flow cats.

Come on I was extra careful first time I backed onto and went forward on ramps and I have manual. Are they the rhino ramps?

Yes I agree.

It's a jack and stands for me.

I learned my lesson when I had a ramp kick out on me while I was driving up on them many years ago.

My 80 Z28 got stuck on one ramp and I had to jack it up and use jack stands, boards and 4x4's to get the ramp out from underneath.

Thankfully it caused minimal damage crushing my exhaust pipe and wrinkling the floorpan a bit.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal OP,if it happened to this car I might cry too.
