One Of The Best Days Of My Life Has Turned Into One Of The Worse

[carter1551]

I dj'd my girlfriends birthday party and everything went great and we all had such a great time. Well as we are all leaving i drive around the parking lot and am going back by where my girl is parked and she starts to reverse, so im like oh crap she dont see me. So i stop and then i see that she has put her brake on while still in reverse so i assume she sees me at this point. I start to move to go by her and she starts backing up again so i hit by brakes and blair my horn but to no avail, she backs straight into my p5 and now part the plastic bumper where the headlight is is popped out and the clip is broken. There are also stress cracks in the paint all over the area where she hit me. I talked to her and her parents about it since she is a minor. She said that it was partially my fault because i told her i was leaving and drove around the parking lot again and when she looked she couldnt see me. I told her I had the right of way because i was already driving in the parking lot and she was actually parked and was going to back out. Her parents wont budge on the issue and I dont want to submit it to insurance because they will find some ridiculous way to raise my rates even though Ive done nothing wrong. Im going to a body shop tomorrow to have it looked at and figure out the extent of the damage. Hopefully I can make convince them that it was really her daughters fault and at least offer some sort of compensation without anyone having to make any insurance claims. It amazes me that they arent offering to pay a penny or anything yet they are very wealthy and own many houses in my area and only 30 minutes before i see her mother cutting a check to the place that was rented out for almost 1,000 dollars but now her mother is choosing to be stingy. Its just ridiculous that people cant even own up to their own faults and at least try to help me out. If they couldnt afford it i would understand and Im even willing to pay a portion of the damage repairs but I really feel that should at least help me out. Im 18 and dont have much money and im working right now saving money to go to college and my p5 is the nicest asset i have and now i have to go look at it and be sick to my stomach every day.

break up with her

moved to off topic...this is not P5 related

 

[carter1551]

i thought it was p5 related, she hit my p5 right? does that count?

 

[jersey_emt]

It's accident related. The fact that it was your P5 is secondary.

Don't worry about it / make a big deal out of it. Threads get moved all of the time.

break up with her

+1

Scarcity complex is for choads. Move on. Her family is really showing its face here. I wouldn't want to **** with that one bit...

 

[carter1551]

she keeps tellin me that im just showing that my car is more important than her, im not asking her to buy me a new one, im asking for the cost of the repairs since she was responsible for the accident. I dont see how that makes me care about my car.

I have a feeling that you guys are on two different levels of understanding. You have to work hard for your stuff, and I bet she doesn't. So she won't appreciate your pain.

 

[Sveivo]

And sorry about your car

 

[GhostMercury]

i told my gf strait up i love me car more then her...this way she couldnt get mad at me when i do stuff to it or with it

 

[Sveivo]

s*** man, I am so pissed off about this now!

This is not really a matter of money! This is a matter of respect! If you want to stick around and work out a deal with her family, go for it. But if you're thinking long-term with this woman, I would be worried.

That is kinda creepy... what kinda stuff would you do to it?(shocked)

 

[carter1551]

well i mean we been goin out for almost 2 years and we had some rough spots in the beginning but for the most part its been smooth sailing and its been great or else Id throw it all away no problem but im actually attached and care about this girl

 

[Blake]

dude, id send it to insurance, er at least figure out her insurance and call em up. What are they gonna do about her car? It was not your fault, not to mention you hit the horn she wasnt paying attention. So do the right thing tell her parents your going through her insurance, it was her fault.

 

[carter1551]

i know but insurance is pretty stupid, i wouldnt be suprised if they raised my rates even though i wasnt at fault.

 

[GhostMercury]

That is kinda creepy... what kinda stuff would you do to it?(shocked)

ha you be thinking way to dirty..get you mind out the gutter. but mostly i just talk about it and drive it more then i hang with her..and if we go anywhere i drive..not to mention the ocasional talking to it

 

[carter1551]

actually i talked to my gf again and she was willing to pay for it or at least help me. but her mom claims she saw the whole thing and its not her daughters fault so at this point thats why they arent wanting to pay.

 

[k-lea]

She needs to be responsible. I'm glad she has claimed atleast some of it. It really sucks that something like this has to get in the way of a relationship but s*** does happen.

I wish you the best of luck with the relationship and your car.

 

[Blake]

dude I hate moms, they always think it cant be their daughters fault. F that theory, we all know girls suck at driving, Kristin for instance! J/K K
