found a prospective buyer today, coming to look at it later.
im not worried about all that stupid bullshit. i bought the car because i had never previously owned a rotary, wanted to give it a whirl, like i stated i need the money not another problem. always jump to quick conclusions of last resort as if to say im a kid that gets a hard on when he sees a civic with a wing or camaro with exhaust.
i love the fc, and truly do not want to get rid of it, but im actually a senior in college and need the money to pay off the ticket and my last semester of tuition which ive paid competely out of pocket.
i think it was completely uncalled for her to have hit it with a hammer, but regardless of that i respect that she was angry about what had happened.
as far as the police go, if anyone of you has ever lived in new orleans, there would be no debate, but since there is, ever since the hurricane the city has been hurting for money, and i have friends that are nopd, they write countless tickets for nothing all day, it doesnt mean that you were necessarily doing what was stated, i got out of two portions out of the four i was charged with, both drag racing and reckless driving were removed and they hit me with the no brake tag and exhaust.

guys seriously think before you type.

 

everything i have ever owned i have 100% financed myself, i find shame in those that cower in daddys wallet

 

Aww, are you trying to defend yourself by attempting to sound like you're some sort of sob story? Sweet. Someone pass me the popcorn and a Pepsi. This 'oughta be good!

 

Ok, Mr. Microbiologist. One of these days, all the yappers on this thread will be working for you. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Start your FS thread now, don't feel sorry for yourself for one minute.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but really your Mom should have taken the hammer to you. You learn from this and you will be just fine. One of these days, your Mom and you will laugh about this incident.

Why not start now?

Tell your Mom she is right, you were a dumbass and you are really glad she didn't take the hammer to your head . Admit to everything, even if you don't really think you deserved it. Remember, you likely got away with far worse on other occasions, so Karma 'bit' you in the butt.

Man up, graduate and buy another 7 when you can play out of your spare money.

Good Luck and treat your Mom with the respect (and FEAR) that she deserves.

 

get rid of everything.. and just get a truck... you wont have to worry about your parents always on your back thinking your up to no good with cars, get the truck, you can drive around and not care about it and just get on with your life.

and dont hang around the friends who do that stuff, your just going to miss it even more.

 

Ooh good! An old beaten to hell S10 with chopped springs and PepBoys altezza lights..w00t!

 

MOVE OUT.

Awww... can't afford to? Can't live without mommy and daddy? THEN DEAL WITH IT AND STOP BEING AN IDIOT.

 

Mmkay...enough bashing. It's getting old.

 

already made a f.s. thread on several forums and got tons or responses, just not to many looking to pay cash.

im not bitching about my situation, or expecting any of you guys to feel sorry for me.
im simply asking for advice.

 

ace your being bitchy again just cause your having problems and are angry dont take it out on the kid. you should know i've mentioned not all of us have a local drag strip to take our racing to.

the way you guys are acting makes me sick to be asosiated with this community right now. your guys are pathetic.

Cman gave good advice here if you can sell the civic at KBB value you will have enough for whatever you need(KBB LOVES HONDAS!!!!)

 

That sucks dude I wouldn't sell since you got other cars.

I'm surprised what ******** some people are on this site at times and then how nice others can be or even the same people at other times... I guess it has to do with it being easier to be an *** online.

Anyways good luck, nothin you can do about it anymore than learn from it. Sounds like you got your punishment so there shouldn't be a need for others to rub it in.

 

yea, pretty much. im not trying to start **** with anyone, that happens enough in real life, i come here to have intelligent conversation with like-minded individuals, and if that is not the case than so be it.

 

Wow, you have incredibly violent parents. Your going to go from a hot rod of an rx7 to a bag of ***** like the transam? What a step down in life! Tell your parents to get there foot out of there vaginas and realize they took things way to far.

 

F that, if you live with your parents your at their mercy, he's out breaking the law in his race car while their paying the mortage. If your parents are making you sell the car then sell the car. don't trade for that trans am. Drive the honda or 240. pretty simple.

 

Kinda sad your giving up so easily.

 

not really, but i really do have alot more to worry about then one car.
the 240 has a spun rod bearing and i started getting into the motor, but time is def a scarcity. i use the civic for a daily to get to school and work.

 

i've been in a parents situation like this befor. if it was me, i would reason with them that it doesnt matter what car I drive/drove. If I did it, well I did it. I chose to race in a uncontroled location (eg. for the "kid").

you live in a no-snow climate so you dont need a FWD (aka honda). besides you'll beable to get more out of the honda then you would a 240sx with a spun bering.

Even with what you did, mom going ape **** on the windsheild is wrong. I would tell her she has these three options:

1. She cuts you a little slack on the fines because of the cost of a new windsheild
2. She pays for a new windsheild.
3. Move out and take it to Civil Court and sue for a new windsheil, court costs, and lost time for incovienence. (i would sue my dad, he treats me like worthless ****).

After you sell the honda, swap in a good motor or jdm swap the 240sx at minimal cost and DD it (ca18det's are cheap). use any left over money to pay down the fines.

Look for a second job if your not working 40hrs+

Stick the 7 away till you get you fines payed, then fix it and continue.

I've street raced before, but we go out in BFE at like 2am with road blocks and spotters so it is a well controled area. its still not completly safe or legal, but alot safer then a random street run.

i'm stubborn, so this might be harder for you to do then me.

 

So the car is in your name right? they cant really make you sell it, reason with her that its not doing much good by punishing you by selling that particular car, what if you had been in the civic at the time? would she be making you sell that? Try to deal with her that you will sell all your other cars and promise you wont do it again, (and really dont do it) and that its a fair compromise being she went ballistic and bashed your winsdhsield drastically reducing the resale value of your car. if the rx isnt stock tell her you will sell the go fast parts and put it back to stock, it will still be fun fast but not real fast, after sellin all that stuff you can pay the fine and get your windshield fixed. Mostly just make her undertand how sorry you are and how much you love the car. NO MORE STREET RACING!!!

 

I gave you advice. Damn good advice if I do say so.

You don't need advice on dealing with your THREE cars. That's easy stuff. You need advice healing the damage you caused to your relationship with your Mom. That's the real problem here.

And all those advisers telling you to get tough with your Mom, or even SUE your Mom for damages? For the cost of the windshield? That's not real life. Real life is taking your medicine and learning from your mistakes.

 

ditto, its your mom, be nice. She reacted like that because she loves you and cares enough to make a statement about what you did, although her statement was rash and in the heat of the moment. All these people saying to sue and crap are heartless and have no respect for the people that raised them and got no love growing up. Just be real opologetic and sorry for what you did and give her time to cool off, drag out selling it maybe after a little while you can get her to change her mind.

 

i'd sue my DAD in no time if he caused damage to my personal property and refuesd to pay componsation. because your mom hit it with a hammer, i'm asuming she is the enforcer.

Hitting things to get your way is extremly childish and never works well for long.

I was the "faild" child, as i didnt share any of my fathers intrests nor ambitions so he showed me no intrest and cast me aside. My mother knows what he did, but is too stuck in a life style of getting anything she wants to say anthing to him, but thats besides the point.

And that was saying what I would do. he's live with his family all his life and should know when to push and when to give.

 

we didnt all have abusive or jackass parents that we grew up hating and have no problem suing, some of us love them, even just a little

 

I just happend to get lucky and get a neglective father.

 

Ouch! You=failed, but only because you choose it. This is a tough path you trod. It is unfair to invite others to join you by giving them advice based on your pain.

I think this thread belongs in the Lounge.

 

he prolly has better ties with his 'rents then i do with mine.

leaving thread, i'm moving it off topic.
