badluck with my 8
I only had the car for three weeks when this happen, all I can say it has been one of the worst things that has ever happen to me. First my brother gets into a fight with my parents, takes my keys and backed up into my other car with the 8 just when I was about to get over it, september 10, my b-day, 12 at night, driving on the freeway where the 101 meets the 5 something on the street, really dark at night and I cant see anything, I ran over something and it broke half of the front air dam of my car, blew out the AC condenser and now my car is sitting at a bodyshop. I don't know if anyone has had it worst then me. Guess what to top it off, the insurance only gave me 1,200 hell man that aint enough. I just hope the body shop can prove to them that I need more.

I know where the 101 meets the 5. Geez, they've torn up everything else - when are they gonna fix that whole exchange? It sucks!
My condolences. Honestly, I'd make my brother pay big time if I were you.
