Well, today has been a completely shitty day. Even though it started out great.

My stepfather, in his "fishing frenzy" bullshit state of mind pulled into the yard where my Buick is parked. He couldn't get his fucking piece of shit Explorer in quite the way he wanted, so the asshole hits the gas and slams into the front of my car. He blames it on the ice and snow. What really irritates me...he said he "tapped" my car. Tapped? When my mom hears it happen from inside the house with all the doors and windows closed, he more than fucking tapped my car.

He's done probably anywhere from 500 to 1500 dollars worth of damage to the grill, headlight mounts and general hood and bumper area of the front of my car.

All he did to his...he knocked one of the foglamps out of the lower passenger side front bumper, no major damage, unlike my car. Which is probably fucking ruined unless I can find someone that can do one of the following A) piece together the front of my car somehow, B} replace the bumper, grill, hood and headlight mounts with junkyard parts (yeah, right...I highly doubt I'll find these parts at a junkyard) or C) find a good deal on replacement parts from somebody, find a car for parts or get dealer parts and get the work done for 10 times what it would cost anywhere else.

Worst part, I can't even get an insurance claim paid on it because I live in the same fucking house as him and both vehicles are on the same insurance policy, mine is under my mother because I don't have a license (yet). Some insurance companies have a rule against paying claims when the parties are on the same policy and are married. So...I'm shit out of luck.

Then on top of it...they expect me to take my tax refund check (which is going to be used to replace my aging overused and abused laptop) and repair the fucking thing.

I'm ready to tear my hair out, I really am. That and cry. I sunk 4000 dollars into this car, we don't drive it unless the weather's decent or we all have to go somewhere because it's the "good car".

I know already Sam. I'm just about in tears here.

Shael

He wants YOU to take your tax refund and replace the damage HE caused to your car?? I would imagine he should be the one shoveling out the dough to get your car fixed.

Course, I think I remember reading a thread in which you (or maybe Sam) referred to your step-dad as a major asshead . . . . .

Sorry Shael, that really does SUCK.

Time to scrub the rim of the shitter with his toothbrush or something like that. This will at the very least will make you smile instead of cry for a bit.

LOL - I remember cleaning the bathtub with my husband's toothbrush when I found out he was involved in extra-curricular activities.

It DID make me smile Shael, maybe you should try it.

Holy Jesus. I hope you never kissed him ever ever again.

KK, Sam and I have...issues, to say the least, with my parents.

It's just a complicated and ridiculous situation.

To hell with the niceties. It's time to work over his vehicle with a crow bar and a baseball bat! If he gets frisky, work over his skull as well!

Palmolive in his gas tank... End of problem!

yeah, then he'll just take her car.
if you people knew even a TENTH of this epic soap opera, you'd sit there with mouths agape.

yes, agape is a word.

Fuck that! Force the ass wad to sign over his vehicle and then sell it to raise the funds to repair your car.

And then make sure he understands that he is not to touch your car. (That's when you work over his skull with the crow bar).

That really sucks Shael!

Knowing families, I would not be surprised. Glad Shutterbug and I live on our own. I would have killed my brother a long time ago if I remained living where I was.
