Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
She was coming down from above....glad to hear it worked out ok.
Take one 16 year old daughter with learners permit for two weeks. Have her park the car on the upper level away from the driveway (with you in the car of course) and then go for a thrill ride. The car drove away with minimal undertray damage.

Reminds me of when I drove my Mom's '77 Lincoln Continental through the wall of our garage when I was a kid.
She had just washed it!!!
I had mud on my shoe and I slipped off of the brake on to the gas, big ol' 460 c.i. mashed right through the wall with ease...........
Ok, how this happened is this. She had pulling into parked position and when she went to step on the brake, she stepped on the gas and away we went.
She was quite upset (I'm dumb, never driving again, blah, blah, blah). No yelling from me, just checked that she was ok and emphasized that it's only a car, it's fixable and that's it. Told her it could have been much worse had it happened in another situation. Had her laughing about it by the end of the day. I made sure she went to her 'formal' driving lesson the next day. Sort of getting on the horse that just threw you off.
Upon review, it's funny how we take for granted our ability to react without thinking about it. Likely not the case for a new driver who has no vehicle experience and actually thinks about what pedal is the brake and what is the gas.
tell her not to worry, fully grown people drive into convenience stores and banks all the time over the same mistake, often with way too many years of experience!
So true about taking for granted how driving becomes "second nature" with experience. When I was 15 and 7 mos, got my permit, and the VERY FIRST time out with my dad I crashed the car. Believe it or not, because I had no experience driving, I didn't realize (or even think about) the fact that after you turn the wheel, you have to let the wheel return to center in order to procede straight after negotiating a turn. I turned right at a 90 degree turn, held the wheel, and drove the car right onto the sidewalk, and would have done a 360 had it not been for the lightpole which I rammed into and knocked to the ground (which thereafter shattered into a million pieces).
I too thought I'd never drive again, and at the time, didn't want to. I even planned out my life, and wondered how not being a "driver" in our society would impact my social life, married life, professinal life, etc... I figured old ladies and some immigrants never drove, and I planned to join their ranks. I'm serious, I actually thought I would never drive again I was so freaked out. Its funny to think about that now, 17 years later (obviously, I've gotten over it).
Another great little story, glad you only dropped a few feet.
My boy is not even 6yo yet and is already turning good lap times on EA's Porsche Need for Speed.
Your girl's probably not into video games, but they do make great simulators, plus you can turn off the "damage control."
My oldest is 15 (with learners permit) and she was driving the 944S last Saturday morning, dropped the right side wheels off the pavement and bent the inside rear rim. We pulled into a friends house a few hundred yards down the road and I watched/made her change the tire. I think it can be fixed, but I have two spares.

Subie's are tough.
My 18 year old drove to Vancouver in her Golf TDI yesterday, and I was really sweating it. But she's fine.
And I had to remember those ski trips to Whistler when we were 16, in my friend's Volvo 544 with the B 16 engine......
