Default i hate my life

i just got my first camaro yesterday. as soon as i got it i took it on a 4 hour road trip and on the way back i pulled into a rest stop about 15 minutes from my house. my buddy kept bitching about how much he wanted to drive, so i told him he could drive home. he floored it out to merge with traffic and spun out. we did a 180 and hit the guard rail backwards. the hatch, right rear quarter panel, the rear bumper, and both of the lights are FUCKED. hes paying for all the damage but this is still bullshit. the cops showed up and my car was unregistered since i just got it so they towed it. picking it up tomorrow so ill throw up some pics. the worst part is i didnt even own the car for like 8 hours.

Heres what my brother did to my 94 Z..... The only reason why it got wrecked was the fact that he was inexperienced. Someone tapped the right rear weaving in and out of traffic in the rain and it was NASCAR style into a bridge rail. I feel for ya bro!

On my first car I got t-boned 3 days after buying it. Fortunately, my dad was a bodyman, and fixed it, including a full custom paint job for $800 out of my pocket.

I sold a ta to a kid in Ohio a few years back. He drove the ta home, his friend was driving his v6 camaro back for him. The kid in the camaro ended up totalling the car on the trip home! It happens, and if its only 1k in damage, your both lucky!

my friend got a 99 SLP special made WS-6. came with every slp product that slp made for the t/a's. needless to say it was quick. 6 hrs after he had it he flipped it and totalled it. about a year after he got a 98 B4C and the only bad thing that happened to it is some girl rearended him.
