Absolute Rage

[amisupposed2b]

Not meaning to banter. But I need to put this one out of my system...

I'm still in extreme rage right now as I write this. Its 12 and i cant sleep from anger. My neighbour, is a B***h. My mum doesn't have a licence, so she cant drive. I leave my car at home when I go to work.

My neighbour comes along when Im at work, and you know woman talk happens...

Soon after the suggestion of :

" I got an idea, lets go out in your sons car! "

Now I told my mum before, let ANYONE drive my car, but not the neighbour. She is a crappy driver. So my mum was hesitant, and said no (god bless her for trying to fight it atleast...) . But being a the neighbour being a woman (Not meaning to be sexist to all the female members :P ) is manipulative. And convinces my mum that :

" Abraham won't know, dont worry. Its just to grab some coffee and sit around for abit..."

From here on end I cut that side of the story...

8.00pm

I have arrived home from a hard day at work. I am dirty and exhausted. I look in the drive way to see my car. It looks fine... I didn't realize the truth, the night had hidden my baby's scars...

I step in the house, and my mum is staring at me with a worried face. She says and I quote :

" When is registation due for foxy? "

(foxy is the name of my car, a auI fairmont)

I realize what has happened. Right before you know it Im out the door running for foxy. I cant see the damage but I feel some things are not right at all. Scratches, dents, and something missing, and some wires sticking out. I Scream and curse of my head, I know too well now. But I still cant see my baby, So I try to hit her head lights, :

*HUH?!* why wont they turn on????

I run to get a flash light, by now I am literally crying, BAWLING MY EYES OUT to be exact. ( Hey, im still young and this is my first car, not just any car, the car I always wanted as a kid.... )

I frantically search through my tool box, and I feel it. My torch. I grab it and run back.

The damage is one of which I have seen one to many times.



Back to the first part of the story :

(This is all translation from arabic to english by the way...)

Mum : We kind of...
Me : The son of a b***h was driving it wasn't she?!
Mum : Yes, and we kind of...

*By now I have ducked out, And I come back in, I am all cursed and cryed out *

Me : She clipped my car on both sides, didn't she?
Mum : It was a small car park, she is used to small engines. She clipped the car on both sides on cement columns. Then hesitated and hit the accel, hitting the parked car infront.
Me: Mum did she run from the hit?
Mum: Yes
Me: I am going to report her now mum, not only for the damage to the other car, but for stealing mine, and then damaging it.
Mum: But she said she will pay for...
Me: Mum, I had custom m3 side mirrors, a custom front grille, and nice shiney paint. Do you really think a non-employed person can afford to just "pay it off" ?


From then on end I walk out pick up the phone I call the police, who inform me that someone had reported the issue already, then they said that the driver had a old car they didn't want and that it was not really a issue with the other car. However I still ask for contact details, and they gave me (Im sure they are not meant to.. but I said it was for insurance purposes) and I called the drive who is a nice fellow and said it was all good, and asked if my mum was ok.

Now, as for my car...
The police say there is alot of conflicting intrest in the story and will have to get settled by court.

I have spoken to my neighbour and given her a dead line of 1 week after I get quotes on the damage before I take legal action.

(And now after writing all this, I do honestly feel alot better.... Thanks alot guys!)

[Scott]

That would **** me right off! Where are the pics?

[amisupposed2b]

its too dark, Ill show some on monday...

[DOC]

Buddy, i loved your story, and hope you get it sorted soon.

[amisupposed2b]

I wish I could love it... Im really hurt, deep.

[The Monty]

Man. I wouldnt leave my keys at home at all if I livewd around people like that. My mums not even aloud to drive my car unless necessary, and I give her the green light, and I trust her fully. Oh yeah, ummm pics!.

[MITCHAY]

That sucks but why give the keys to her if you don't know who will be driving?

Anyways I hope you get it all sorted out mate. I spose you are lucky in the sense that the other guy didn't care that much and let's face it that is a rare occurance.

[amisupposed2b]

I don't leave the keys with her. I leave them on my desk. I trust that no one will do anything to foxy, everyone know she is all I have, and every cent I work for goes to her...

I feel as though I have been stabbed in the back now too!

I think thats what hurts more to be honest.

[OZFORDAU]

That's terriable news mate! Id be so 9issed off at the neighbour! Pic's will be good mate!

Just as long as she pays for it and when u get it back it looks better then it did b4 then id be happy!

Good luck with it mate, and i hope u don't have togo to court about it!

Cheers,

Simon

Yeah I know how it hurts when people stuff around with things you have poured plenty of blood, sweat, and tears into.

What I'm more interested in is how your neighbour could comfortably drive your car knowing you haven't given explicit permission to drive it?

I know even when people tell me I can drive their cars I still don't.

[XR6-VCT-2000]

Oh thats horrid ! . It's also stupid people like your neighbour that put dints and scratches on our nice cars, people like that who obviously can not drive should not have a licence, hitting 2 concrete poles then accelerating into another car is just plain stupidity.
Gl getting your money back from an unemployed person ! , i hope you get it.
Im suprised the cops didn't want her details for hitting another car and doing a runner and wreckless driving.
Darn i feel sorry for ya mate , that sux.

[Tech Trainer]

That is sad to hear about. The worst part about it is that your mum who just wanted to go out for a coffee now will feel as guilty as hell. Just remember that your mum did not do the damage and channel your anger toward the person who did.

There are only two people on this planet I will let drive my XR, me and my wife. A couple of months ago she put some gutter bruises on one of my rims. She rang me to tell me about it and in the same conversation said she had the car booked in to have them fixed. I must admit I was more concerned about her than the rim.

Cars can be fixed lives can not be returned.

[Casper]

I think you handled the whole situation very well. Sure you got upset, we all would, but you didnt do anything stupid to the old hag next door and you made sure the police were informed (who knows, it could have been a Merc that got hit and you would have ended up in the deep end). I say well done.

Most importantly though, your mum is ok.. and hopefully aware never to get into a car with the head case next door again.

[FPV8U]

I can understand how you feel, im so attatched to my car that my mum only had to take it down the steet without asking and i was far from impressed, you get so attached to your car, especially if your a "Car" Person.

Feel so sorry for you mate, good luck with the repairs hopefully it will come back looking better than ever.

[Jeeepers]

Full marks for your mature handling of the situation. A very sad story, and one which would have enraged me to no end. But you have done everything right IMHO. I would now be seeking whatever I could against your neighbour. And would never leave the keys at home either. Good luck with it all man, I'm feeling your pain.

Ain't that the truth though? I get twitchy if anyone other than me is behind the wheel and I'm not in the car. Misses included. Sorry Carol... LOL

[FLYXR6]

I know this sounds horrible but my wife is to scared to drive my car in case this thing happens to it while she is driving. As for letting some one else drive it, it would never happen from fear of death. I feel for you mate, you must feel violated. Shouldn't your neighbour be charged with reckless driving? I know what you mean about leaving the keys lying around, you trust your family, You shouldn't have to hide your keys in your own home, I hope Foxy is restored to her original glory..... GOOD LUCK.

[NeishaXR8_347]

Gee mate i feel your pain, i hope it all gets sorted and comes back even better then what it was. But one word of advice try and get the money off of the lady without going to court, my boss had this happen they went to court and the Un-employed person got asked what can you afford and it was settled on $40 per month as they said thats all they could afford and i would be PI$$ED if that was me.

I agree NO ONE and i mean NO ONE drives my car except for my G/F even then i get abit edgy but she is a very good driver. Hope u get her all sorted out
BTW OZFORDAU why is ur name red?

[Mark One]

Geez. If that happened to me I'd be up for 25 years. But really horrible stuff. Thats why I'm glad my cars manual. Alot of foolish people can't drive it even if they wanted to.

[HLC]

Mine the same.

You did everything right. You have cover yourself well. As our have said try to get the money out of court frist, as you might get your money faster.

[amisupposed2b]

I just got back from work. The sun is up. Foxy is totaled...

The whole frame has moved foward, the body and everything. The wheels are off place, and are hitting the mud guards. the engine has slid back abit, its A K.O job.

[5L]

so how fast did she drive into these cement barriers, she must of been flying.

my parents have the spare key to my car, thank god my mum cant drive manual. my dads a decent driver, and he likes driving the xr as his daily is a 2.8l hilux diesel.

shame to hear it is a write off, id go over an tell her she owes you a new car.

[HLC]

ok we NEED pics.

[old fordnut]

That would royally **** me right off! I dont let anyone drive my car except for the missus. and even then I get real nervous, because she's not very good at keeping her mind on the road. you know typical female.

[dansedgli]

How is your Mum not to blame? Is she 12 years old? Why is she giving into peer pressure to take your car out when she knows it shouldnt go anywhere.

Mum to blame 100%.

[AUIII XR8 MAN]

Thats bad news. Thats alot of damage to do in a car park accident. I take it you haven't got any insurance.

[5L]

his insurance would be for himself, not the lady nextdoor.
