Motors Why you should never let your borther's friends drive your car....

Ok, so I have two vehicles. A 1990 Honda Accord and a 1992 GMC Yukon. My parents let my brothers friends drive the Yukon (since they paid for more then half of it) and he ended up rear-ending some one the next morning. $3200 to repair and that also includes paint







So there's the damage. It also needs a new fan shroud and a new radiator possibly. Atleast I still have my 'Cord to drive



I am whoring my own thread with this pic

 

Oooh nasty - they making you pay for the repairs?

 

Ive seen GM SUVs get repaired from much worse. Yours should be fine

 

Spots the large exhaust... *tisk*

 

Make him pay, that sucks!

But you ignore the fact its lowered?

 

........looks like a dent on the front wing of the Honda also.

 

Could be from reflections/the front arch...

 

/me looks for the cheap underglow kit

 

I would kill anyone who did that to my car lol..........

 

Not by much I'd say.

 

Were they covered by the insurance?

 

lol a friend of mine let one of his friends drive his car.... burnt out the clutch but this is worse... hope he pays for it..

 

Okay, for those of you who see my Honda an instantly are searching for the rice, stop cause you will not find any. No neon, no wings no nothing. The closets thing to rice on my car is the IMPORTED FROM JAPAN 5-ZIGEN FIREBALL CANISTER MUFFLER (Yes, I paid a pretty penny for it ) And yes, it has dents. A golf ball dent from golf-ball size hail on the roof and a dent from an iceball in the fender. No rice here Gents, for I am part of a rare breed of Honda owners who care more about performance instead of the normal "How many stickerz I can put on my car" group of Honda owners. Hell, I have a few grand invested into the engin and such and I am pleased with the results so far. Dyno runs of 155 HP and 147 torque tuned for the bigger exhaust and higher flowing intake track, plus the ported head, retarded timing, titanium valves and springs and a GUDE perfomance cam. Yes my friends, my car could have a hundred dents in it, but as long as it is fast enough to make the other Civic driving turds think twice next time the rev at me, then I am happy

Anyways, the Yukon should be fixed by Friday afternoon (or later today for those of us on the net really late ) It wasn't really hard for them to fix, but the fact that a lot of the damage was spread over multiple parts is what is making it cost so much, plus the fact that the whole front end needs to be repainter and blended to match the rest of the truck (They said they may have to re-paint the whole truck since some of the paint is faded in other areas) As for payment, the kid is paying for all of it. Other wise not only will I sue the crap out of him for non-payment, but I will also take a bit of street justice on his own car if he dares to not pay for this. What can I say, I am very defensive about my vehicles since a crazy bitch (Is it okay to say this, if not mod feel free to change it) keyed my Accord and after it got egged by some kid who picked a fight with me and ended up with a broken nose and two missing teeth.


Pics when the Yukon is back from the hospital!

EDIT: Atomic yes it isn't lowered very much since I am using a $90 Sleeve-style Coil-over suspension set-up on factory shocks. I am currently saving for a set of TEIN SS Series Coil-Overs w/the EDFC module. I drive autocross so handling is more important then how low it looks, and when I get the TEIN's I can have both. Those, some new sway bars and strut bars for the front and rear and I'll be good to go until I get some new wheels and some sticky rubber to mount on them
