dimeguy 510 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 So, you may not know much about the guy how has this account, but this is his daughter taking over his account, because I wanted some advice and whatnot... So, I'm coming home from school this afternoon, my father (the guy who owns this account) parked his 510 at the front of the carport (covered). As usual, I pull up behind this covered vehicle carefully. But, the cover doesn't exactly make this easy. Since the space is limited for how many cars the family owns, I have to try and get as close as possible. And when I did get there, a split second before I was going to come to a complete stop, I felt a bump and hear a clank and some metal sounds and well - I still can't find the words to completely describe what I heard. I backed up slowly, and there was another, lighter sound (presumably something that fell to the concrete). I haven't looked under the cover, and I'm afraid. I know this community is very connected and full of knowledge, so how to I bring the topic up lightly to my father? He hasn't returned home from work yet, either. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 You;"Hey dad, I fucked up your car." Him; "YOU BITCH!!!!" It's best not to put these things off. If he uncovers it to take it for a drive only to see its fucked, its only going to make it worse. 2 Quote Link to comment

datrod Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 My daughter backed into my Z car one time. I didn't really have to say or do anything. She beat herself up pretty good. She came back in the house with big ol tears in her eyes and told me what she had done. It didn't look to bad so I didn't have to kill her. :lol: If I remember right your dads car is pretty bad ass so fess up soon. Just make sure you pooch out your bottom lip and have some tears going. :P Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Honesty is always the best policy. If you didn't hit it going 50 mph, it can probably be easily fixed. Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 the truth will set you free...he'll be upset i'm sure, but he'll see the big picture...you're ok! Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 You may luck out and his favorite ratchet that he's been missing for a while now was sitting on the bumper. Your accidental jolt may have dropped it and that's the sound you heard :). Trying to be optimistic here, but really, there's not gonna be any easy way to go about this. Honesty is going to be your best route, and while it's no fun to deal with accidents, you're better off erring on the side of integrity. Good luck to you. Quote Link to comment

hang_510 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 this is his daughter taking over his account, how to I bring the topic up lightly to my father? He hasn't returned home from work yet, either. you are SOOOOOoooooo in trouble (when he reads this... at work) pop the cover, assess the damage (pix if that bad) and then tell him before he finds it on his own. :unsure: from experience: the pain of admitting it is significantly less than lying/denying/running away from home. be sure to bat your eyes too :blink: (im glad i dont have a daughter) Quote Link to comment
