Default suspension bites the dust =(

Dinner/breakfeast at dennys - 60$

"Friend" decided to steal my keys and drive off.- 0 dollars

"Friend" ovbiously suck at driving... and power slides onto the curb.. destroying my whole front right wheel, control arms were torn off, sway bar was torn off, strut and spring destroyed, creak in door, bad curb rash on rear wheel. - a gizilion dollars.

Tow truck 247$

sleeping overnight in a parkinglot - priceless.. (tow truck got lost. i waited from 4am -10am.. yeah... the towtruck guy... i called em a few times and they kept saying some guy was dispatched... and i eventually fell asleep...)

For everyother friend.. some friends are just how they are.. hey atleast he will pay for the damages and buy the car off me.


Well i inspected the damage it looks bad.. but fixable. I will need to do some pick and pulling. Meanwhile I have to get the other 944 up and running.

I'm usually a pretty understanding little guy... but if someone took my keys and thought it would be cool to go sliding down the street he wouldn't reside with the living any longer.

One hell of a story though, and at least he's going to pay.

Good luck with all that.

That sucks. At least he's paying for the repairs/buying the car from you if its totaled.

Make sure to get your stereo stuff out of the car before you get rid of it.

Un-be-freaking-lievable. Any "friend" were to do that to me, I'd hunt him down and make him pay. Make him pay, his parents, his kids, his pet goldfish ... that's so beyond acceptable it hurts my head to think of it.

It is relatively decent of him to pay for the results, but still ... don't crash another man's car!

Grab your 'nads, make him pay for the car, and replace it. It will never be the same.

Act fast! If you go soft on this, you will get walked on later.

If he bitches, tell him he got off easy. Is it too late to file a police report? If he still complans, lawyer up.

Call him up and tell him you are on your way over to pickup the cash.

Tell him if he doesn't pay cash you'll come back another day for his firstborn.

If he already has kids...uhm...corrupt them with your P-car knowledge.
