ya so ne way july 5th im in a parkin lot hanging out with some friends and one of my friends rolls up in his moms 7gen gts action package, he takes me for a spin i get out, couple mins later he asks if i wanna drive it im like hell ya. so inside im thinking ill just take it for a little spin, so i did didnt floor it at all cuz its not my car its not even his car... so to make a long story short 15 seconds after drivin it im at about 20-25ish in a parking lot(ya i know thats stupid but i was too happy to drive the car) well in this parking lot. THIS huge parking lot theres to isles that look like side walks coming down from the store front, and from a distance and even kinda upclose it looks like a sidewalk well stupid me doesnt pay attention and BANg hit the curbgoin bout 20-25
 so i stop immedeately i got a little air from what the people said, i dont remember ne of it. so i got out they came over i popped the 2 front tires bent the 2 front rims and the 2 back tires were bubbled.... i lent him my spare so he could get home soo turns out theres like over 2k of damages. ne way he got off he didnt get in trouble at all from his mom and im taking the heat, i know that this is mostly my fault but her kid let some kid that he knows drive her car....  if i had a kid do that hed be in trouble.... but she contacted her inscurance and they wont cover it because she wasnt driving.... is that true? ne way my family says i shouldnt pay ne thing... i feel so bad i wanna help out but i dunno what to do so im coming to u guys.... ya dont flame ive already been beaten over the head with this enough i tell ya life sucks most of the time ne wayz thanks ahead for givin me advice sorry this doesnt make much sense but im not in a good mood right now and im barely focusing.... thanks guys

Not to be rude, but to state the obvious it was your fault and his fault.
(a) He shouldn't have let you drive (being it's not his car) (b) You shouldn't have driven because, well you know... Speaking from experience, when I was about your age me and a friend went racing after highschool (ironically it was after a safe driving presentation) .. so we both had slow cars.. him a 1991 Pontiac Sunbird and me a 1991 Corolla Sedan. Anyhow. Evenly matched we were neck and neck so I tried to pass he tried to block, and bam!!! My fender went right into his back quarter panel! We were freaking! And didn;t wanna go thru insurance. We ended up coming to a deal that we'd fix our own cars.. and take the heat. It was at this point I realized I'm an adult. Sorry to break it to you but you gotta take control. We all do, at some point. You and your friend gotta come up with a plan of attack and follow it through. So what I'd suggest, and a few of the other members here have : - price out the cost of the wheels - price out the tires - price out the cost of mechanical repairs to suspension (etc etc) and alignment and so on - price out the cost of body work THEN.. find alternatives! hunt and hunt. You'll find it. I'm sure you can lower that $2000 figure down by at least a few hundred dollars. Then if you two go splits on it, you're set. Work extra hours, or something. I don't know what else to you'd be able to do. But it's a good life lesson, and be thankful that both of you are ok and that NO other cars/people were involved. Best of luck, Shaun |
