Sadly

ok..here goes...

ok so sometime during the middle of last month, while parked at the local safeway. While i NEVER park between cars....NEVER., i decided to do it this one time. A low and behold when i come back outside someone side swipped be and ruined my whole passenger change. My front quarter panel, fender, and back panel had to be replaced and my alignment was mess up because my wheel had been turned. My passenger door was jammed because of the impact. I didn't know any of this until i went to look out the sideview mirror AND IT WASN'T THERE.lol. So my car was in the shop about two weeks. this cost about $5700. insurance covered all but 250.

Sooo this morning, when i got up, I didn't know that my cousin had come in the middle of the night and used my car without letting me know and left it in gear. So when i used my python to autostart my car, IT RAN INTO THE WOODEN FENCE AND POST AND RUINED MY DRIVER'S SIDE THIS TIME. so my car is back in the shop less than 2 weeks after i got it back. another 1500 bites the dust. can't call insurance on this one because im not suppose to have the auto on a manual anywayz. All this could have been avoided if he just would have let me kno....****.

Wow!! sorry to hear/read.. I think someones gonna be paying for some damage I imagine eh? Hide your keys and park far away where ever you go!! People can be so inconsiderate when you park sometimes!! I was sitting in my Cobalt at a pet store and this bitch opens her passenger door and wham, right into mine.. She just looked at me and did nothing but thankfully no damage.. Sorry to hear about you bad luck man

First off, why do you let your cousin have a set of keys and take your car whenever.

Second, your cousin is a douche, make him pay for everything, thats bullshit.

That $1500 should come out of your cousin's pocket... or his hide... either way.

no, people, my cousing doesn't have an extra set of keys to my car. He has a key to my house, which happens to be his father's house, and he had it for like 5 mins but because he's not a usual manual stick driver. So as you all may know, i told him what happened and he is sorry for not telling me and he will pay for most of the damage as he doesn't have it all.

I'll be back in MD very early Saturday morning like around 2am or so, when I get up around noon I'll work on the drivers side light and hopefully have them ready to aim on sunday when you come over to do your springs. Now after I fit and aim them I still need to re-seal them and I'm also gonna put epoxy on the bolts and housings once they're aimed so they'll be like one big piece and aim just like factory lights will. That should take me till next weekend to get done as long as I'm in town.

My auto start only starts when the e-break is on and the car is in neutral..

My bad, sucks though that he took your car even for only 5 mins. I guess if hes paying its alright, still a pain in the ass.

my auto is the viper. And yes, i have all the safeties installed;however, the e-brake cannot stop the car when its in first gear, it was jumpin and trying to start while i was in the house and all i heard was a big boom (the post of the wooden gate snapping). SO everything was installed correctly, but the car is just too powerful for the e-brake. And the other safties such as the break and clutch only would have worked if i was in the car.
