Wish granted: Family helps 90-year-old grandfather fulfill his bucket list by crashing a car through the garage door

A 90-year-old grandfather in suburban Illinois had a particularly unique bucket list.
All he wanted to do was back his car through the garage door.
Walter Thomas of Woodstock, Illinois, got his wish on Sunday thanks to some help from his family.


'Every time I back out of the garage, I think about backing through the door,' he said.
He had mentioned his wish to his granddaughter and so she got things moving.
The garage, owned by a relative, was going to be torn down for a renovation project. In preparation the electric opener was disconnected and a few strategic cuts made to ensure it fell apart.
Next, they got a local auto body shop to donate an SUV destined for the scrap yard ABC7 reported - no sense damaging one of their own cars.


Then, it was all up to Thomas to back it through the garage and check off his bucket list.
With his grandson seated beside him in a motorcycle helmet, at the count of three, Thomas hit the gas and the car crashed through the closed door.
Family and friends had turned up to watch and let out a small cheer and plenty of laughs.
'That was easy,' said Thomas afterwards.
