banging up front end best thing that could happen



im driving home today from school, and this girl from my school is in front of me, going to same area as me. At a light it turns orange, and she steps on the gas like she is going to go through, so i downshift and step on it to make it. Well.... she decides to jam her brakes, and i slam her in the back. But the good thing is, i know her. So no cops, no insurance, money out of my pocket ( she doesn't have much damage anyway ). But now since my whole front end is banged up, I can get my new bumper, projectors, grill , and carbon hood.... Blessing in disguise... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

not sure how much of a blessing that is...cus you still have to pay out of your own pocket..it would be better if someone hit you and it was their fault....

Somehow I don't think the $977 is free. Why exactly are you getting at such a young age? I am just curious.

That is what I figured. So, it isn't really free. Anyhow, sorry about your dad. I knew you were young because you said you hit a girl from your school.


EDIT: Oh, and I don't mean young as in a 3 year old. I meant young to be getting Social Security LOL.

Also, it is hard to justify spending a few grand to mod any car. Maybe not financially but mentally. Now, he has a real reason to drop a few grand on something he didn't really need before.

what i don't understand is why do you have to hit someone to get new stuff why did you not go ahead order the stuff you wanted and keep your factory stuff in case you trade your car in and then sell the aftermarket stuff so you could get some of the money back off the stuffyou ordered. just a thought it is cool though you are getting new stuff for your car.

Social security isn't at all free...it comes from taxpayers.

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
That's a really strange perspective on life you have there. Oh well, enjoy your new bumper I guess? Congrats!??
