I don't pretend that it's anything more than a nice economy car; but it's still a car that I pay a lot of my hard earned money for. And I don't know what you drive, but come back talking smack when you move out of mom's basement.

Sorry to hear your mishaps, but she is right that it is only a car. Would you prefer that your lover hurts in the accident?

My ex-gf spun out, scraped my car bumper, and blow out a tire because she was going way too fast on a logging road. She worried that I would be angry with her when she told me about it, and was surprise that I said that I?m glad that the car got hurt instead of her.

Worldly procession can be replaced, but you can never replace people.


Like I told her, if she had been involved in a real accident, there's no way I would not even been concerned about the car. I was angry because at the time it seemed as though she had been careless. The way the dent happened, I could tell she continued to scrape against her truck even after hitting it.

Anyways, she just discovered this thread and is about to post. She can tell her side of the story. :)


BTW honey, the sex tonight was great. :D

And the fiancee finally speaks...........
I went forward and back 6-8 times slowly working around my truck.
Anytime I was ever unsure I could make it, I have ALWAYS had him back it out..
So needless to say, I didn't deserve all the yelling, but I did enjoy the make-up flowers I later got for the incident.
Yes, its only a car but we don't have children and it is his baby, I get it..totally!!
And yes, he has gotten laid since so it wan't that bad : )

I'd be upset for a little while. Then, I'd fix it and never let her live down the fact that I'm a better driver than her. I believe somebody also mentioned BJs anytime you want them for life; that's a good idea. ;)

A modded Tc is nothing to fret about. They're very moddable cars.

It doesn't have to be a ferrari, but it's still a freakin car that you could buy with your credit card. There is no reason to get that upset about it especially if the person who hit it is very close to him and is sorry.

clearly you are a retard. it doesn't matter how expensive the vehicle is, it's the fact that it's YOURS, and NOT someone else's. my computer is my baby. it's nowhere close to the top of the line, but do i still love it? damn straight i do. same with my car - 1999 VW passat, but damned if i dont smile every time i look at it.

no, you can't buy it w/ your credit card... they won't let you :p (ok, at least a few dealerships here have a 2500 limit on credit cards)

regardless, it's still your personal hard earned money. My car is my baby, even though it's just an ecobox. Keep in mind I too think he overreacted a bit, just saying that we all have our own "babies" we put value into.

but hey, it seems as tho the make-up sex was good, that's all that really matters isn't it :)

No offense, but grow up. I side with her on this one. It's just a car, and it's not like it's a Ferrari 250 GTO or something. This is what body shops are for. I do think she should pay for your body work (or, if you elect to file a claim, it should be on her insurance if your state permits that), but I can't see being anything more than a little annoyed by this. People make mistakes, and you yourself admit this was a tricky piece of backing out. It's not as though she did this on purpose.

I agree... OP needs to grow up.
