    Ya hit a building. That's a little more than an oops. The object of the game is to not let your vehicle come into contact with another object, building, vehicle, human being, etc.........ever......at any speed.......forward or reverse......period. you lose! You get NOTHING! Good day sir!

    Yeah, you have to allow for things like that. Another is a leaning telephone pole directly along side the curb if you were street parking, for instance. (leaning outward)

    So if somebody backs into your personal car doing thousands of dollars worth of damage, and nobody is around to see it, it "didnt happen"?

    Accidents happen. Take responsibility for them. Not only will it save you from worrying about your job, being arrested for hit and run etc....Its just the right thing to do.
