It pushed the LHR quarter panel in about 10cm, rooted the guard and scrapped a S**T load of paint of which now resides on the pole!

GOD DAMMIT!
I learnt that lesson too, the hardway. Was so upset when she grazed a concrete pole while parking in a shopping centre. I went and got a few quotes and on the way out of the second place I 1/2 ripped the spoiler off the front of the car. My damage cost alot more to fix than hers, but showed me how simple these things are to do.

Just don't believe that having all your points makes you a good driver. I'm sure the driver of the Commodore had all his points, no he doesn't have the years of experience behind him that you obviously have, but thats my point. You may have been taught well and be alot more competent driver than me and alot of others out there, however you having all your points doesn't mean much.

My missus is a pretty good driver, I do complain that she doesn't asert herself enough on the road - particularly when merging in an form one lane situation. I can't complain though, I seem to be the car bender in our house :(

Mrs FLYXR6 is a great driver, I trust her enough to fall asleep as a passanger and know that i will wake up again. She fly's along in her little car (kia cerato) in and out of traffic (put a few males to shame). She is confident behind the wheel and thats important. She does grab the holy crap bar every now and then with my driving but you know what they say:

Oversteer scares the passenger, understeer scares the driver. :eclipsee_
