I’m so stupid. So fucking stupid. I graze a car with my truck while I’m pulling into a parking spot at my school. I immediately tell the principal and confess to it. Next thing I know I’m being told it could cost $300 but I have the money to pay that easy so I’m not too worried. I go a few days without worrying about it. I come back from the long weekend and the guy whose truck I grazed (he’s a friend of mine) tells me it could cost 1000$. I’m stressed, but I can pay most of that and handle it without too many problems. I get home from school, still worrying but not too anxious. Dad gets home tells me that my friend’s dad wants us to pay $2700 to get it fixed. I know he’s fucking us, my dad knows he’s fucking us, but we can’t do anything about it. If we try to negotiate or ask him to take it to somebody that we trust to get an estimate on how to simply repair the damage he’ll file a report and our insurance will either drop us or raise our rates through the fucking roof. And before somebody asks if I’m sure that the damage wasn’t extensive enough to warrant $2700 I’ll describe it to you. Front passenger side, ahead of the door and slightly behind the wheel well there’s some minor scratching and maybe some denting (although I never saw any). I trusted the kid to be fair with me, but it’s so fucking obvious the dad’s going to fuck me and my dad for all we’re worth. The son of a ***** isn’t just fixing the damage, he’s doing whatever he wants to the damn thing and we have to pay for it. For how much he’s charging us he could buy another fucking truck! I get so fucking angry just thinking about it. We aren’t a rich family. It’s me and my dad. That’s our family. We can’t pay $2700, but we’ll have to won’t we? And it’s all my fault. My fuck up is costing me and my dad so fucking much. So fucking stupid. And I’m so angry at it all. I did the right thing goddammit. I fucked up, but I was honest and reported it right away. I didn’t try to run or hide, I took it like a man. And what do I get? something that will destroy my dad and I’s lives for fucking months. So fucking useless.

That is really messed up. But, it sounds like making a claim through the insurance company would be the best thing to do. It was just a parking lot scrape, not a real accident, even if your rates went up, I highly doubt the extra amount you would pay in a year would total 2700. But I don’t know much of that stuff so If that is not an option, somehow get the school involved? Your school resource officer would be a good start, even if it’s just for advice.
Go take pictures of the damage, and report it to insurance. It won’t go up that much, and if your insurance drops you it doesn’t really matter. This year alone I’ve been in 4 wrecks and totaled 2 cars, and my insurance went up 100 a month. That’s 1,200 a year, just report the shit to insurance, and don’t look back.
Please listen to what I have to say. If the collision happened in a parking lot, that’s private property and it’s a no-fault. You are in the clear and can tell your dishonest friend to go buttfuck himself.
I left a party stone drunk and backed up right into a car with a couple in it. I was terrified about the drunk driving charge, so I got out my wallet which had about $200 cash as well as my checkbook, and I begged the couple to name a figure and I would pay it.
The guy decides to be a dick and call the cops, just to get me locked up. Well guess what. The cop comes, asks if anyone was injured, and when we all say no, he informs us that there’s nothing for him to do since it happened on private property and there was no traffic violation, bids is farewell and drives off. And so did I. With my $200 and my checkbook intact. Luckiest break I ever caught in my life.
Do NOT let assholes intimidate you and “blackmail” you because there’s nothing for them to blackmail you on. If you were not in traffic, there was no traffic violation (especially since they didn’t even call a cop). Sleep easy tonight, you win.
