    Truth.


    When I was 16, had a '67 Chevy II Nova, not shortly after getting it, was out with a friend going way to fast on Airport Way here in Portland. It had just been completed (the road, not the car) and had just rained. I overcooked a corner, the ass-end came around, I over corrected and put the car in to a berm, taking out a plastic city water pipe head..

    Screwed up the front suspension bad.. After my friend finished laughing at me, we called a tow truck, and took the car home. I eventually fixed everything on the car, and made it drive-able again enough so I could wreck it a few more times.

    It's a learning experience, any one who says they never did something similar are either A) Lying, or B) should be driving a Camry.

    The good thing out of all this, is nobody got seriously injured, and everything is fixable. Most of it you can do yourself (I agree, offer to fix the fence and mailbox yourself.) The other car, you'll have to pay for, and insurance will be expensive, but like others have said - we've all been there.
    I agree I remember the first time I way over drove my car through an on ramp an slide into the curb blowing my tire out. Parents were away and had to lie and say that there was a nail and I got a flat.

    It also got me away from huge stereo systems since it took me forever to get the false floor out that I put in to hide the wiring just to get to the spare.

    Ahhh 16yo problems!

    When you have that much coin, you can be as faggy and boring as you want.

    ah man. i feel bad for you kid. when i saw 80 posts in about a day, i thought this would be a monumentally noteworthy thread. it definitely lacks real R3V entertainment value which is a credit to you being able to own up to your mistakes and not go off acting like a little turd sack.

    you are going to be ok. others here have been nice enough to give you some good advice. just keep moving forward, get a job, and everything will work itself out.

    :)

    BTW OP, shit happens, as others said fix the car, learn how to drive a slow car fast, it can be way more fun.



    To this day I think I still had more fun driving an old E46 323i around the track more then the M3 and M6's. It was so much lighter and you could ring it all the way out without getting into too much trouble.



    As for the mirrors I have passenger and a drivers black set. If you want one let me know pay me shipping and I can send.

    Its not really worth the watch. No real action, but you can see Sh3rpak!ng’s car at the 10:45 mark.

    Yeah, you fucked up, but you're 16. When I was 16 I smashed my "new" used car into another car - rear ender. No significant damage, but it still sucked. At least now you realize you don't really know how to drive, but you will learn.

    You can get all of the parts you need in one trip to Portland. Check out Craigslist- there are a ton of guys parting out cars. I have a black late model valance that could use a little work, but it's pretty straight. If you are interested send me a PM and I'll send you pictures.

    I've got a late model valence for you if you need it, too. It's got a little dent under the fog light slot on the driver's side, but it's straight. You'd just have to get it painted to match lol

    You're fine, OP. Shit happens. At least you're man enough to admit you fucked up and can take a joke.
