This is how it ended.
Sat inside .
Stereo on full blast.
Reversed very slowly out of the garage. Looking over my right shoulder.
I stopped looked left and had a sinking feeling
Where was the door ?
It was open when I reversed .
It folded back bending the A post.
It was written off .
I reversed over a cylinder head that dad had "left" leaned up against the back bumper of the car! Luckily, it was an old one for disposal (which is why he had left it "ready for me to lift into the boot"). Unfortunately, I entered the garage via the side door and just jumped into the car. Always check the rear before you reverse! I did but you can't see down there!
