He clearly upset, but at least she didn’t seriously get injured or killed. It could have been way worst? No point in in crying over spilled milk, better to move forward, especially on a material item that can be replaced. I be more upset on the irresponsible act and that she could have hurt, or killed herself in the process, or even someone else, then the car. Plus he can recoup some of the lost in selling the parts and put towards a good condition one down the road.

Welcome to fatherhood. Had a brand new riding lawnmower that I loaned to my neighbor once. He brought it back in perfect condition. A month or so later I walk out and noticed the exhaust broken off the head and everything else calliwackered, headlights, hood, grill. Went for years thinking neighbor just helped himself, hit a fence post wide open and brought it back without a word. I was a little upset but thankfully never said a word about it. Had a great time push mowing 3 acres that summer. 15 years later... daughter owns up by letting it slip.... we had the fastest mower in the area. Racing around, her and her friend rolled it off a hill, pushed it back to the house and never said a word. Glad your daughter wasn't hurt and as I've always said. If that's the worst thing you ever deal with consider yourself fortunate.

A few years back my step son got his license and I reluctantly gave up my extra car (2004 Focus zx3) so he could show responsibility and drive back and forth from school. About 2 months in he decided to grab some mcd's on the way home and apparently couldn't handle eating while driving as he missed a curve and jumped a ditch and ended up in the field. Luckily the corn had already been harvested so there was not property damage other than the busted focus about 100 ft into a muddy field. I was able to pull him out with my truck but there was enough serious damage to basically total the car. We didn't call it in though because his rates would have just gone through the roof so I ate the loss. When he made the call to me he was shook up and practically in tears and while I was a little upset inside I didn't drill him and at least he was fine. The vehicle can be replaced and usually its a pretty good lesson to the kid.

Not that the manual are better to drive, the autos just have sooo many problems Just go on the prelude Facebook page and ask how many auto 5th gens that are out there that are still good and the owners doesn't know of the trans being swapped or thought about a manual swap because they know they are on borrowed time I know of 1 auto prelude out of the hundreds I've seen that doesn't have any issuse

what actually matters here is the daughter came through okay. I had an '81 Albuquerque Edition Ram 150. My kid brother rolled it end-for-end on his way to a TxANG weekend, threw his passenger out the window, totaled the truck. Once I got over the shock of that call from Dad ... I had had the truck 10 months ... I was glad the kid with him survived, and so did he. But to quote George Strait, "I'd like to have that one back." 318 with a 4-in-the-floor and Alpine stereo, and working AC.

It spun in the street , hopped the curb and stopped about an inch from a tree. Took it back home and parked it and never touched it again or said anything. Don’t know of any damage or jumping the curb but no noticeable exterior damage. This was 20 years ago or so and that car is long gone.

He wasn't the least bit concerned with whether or not I was okay basically all he gave a damn about was I made a mess of the work he had done and he did brought quite a decent job out of beating the hell out of me.i got lucky that by the time I was 14 or 15 he know i wasn't in a position for him to get away with that crap anymore short of being harmed in order to do so not that it stopped him a few times from making the attempt with a kitchen knife or other things over the years.its why I've gone out of my way never to have kids and one of the only things that actually in any way fathers or scares me his children. I've had most of my ability for a motion driven out of me from what I grew up with to the point that their are people who legitimately think I'm a psycho path where they've been around me during the wrong situation and see me intimidate or scare somebody who was mentally unstable and much bigger than myself strictly for the fact I have little to no register Little to no emotion during high stress situations. I'm that guy people like to stand behind wean shit hits the fan but I'm not the guy they go inviting to Christmas dinner with family or the same reasons. Irony is I'm not even a big guy i just generally don't have much left in need for social interaction for the kind of things that normal people take for granted. One of the few things that still causes me what I would consider feer is being around other people's kids. Lost track of how many times ive had somebody's kid with out warning off and mail me in the groin or something like that their parents immediately thinking it's totally hilarious,and I never know how I'm going to react to something like that Yemen just how damaged I am in general and I'm automatically afraid that I'm going to lately lose my crap or say any number of obscenities or worse.
