Tragedy strikes - United Bimmer Community

**EnvyM3** · 06-27-2005, 02:22 PM

So some of you may remember my post about the damn pot hole I hit last week. Anyways, my car is not safe to drive on the highway and I was planning on going about 2 hours north this weekend so I needed a car. I asked my sister if I could use her car and she could use mine (but not on the highway). She agrees so I used her little SLK convertible b/c she said she probably wouldn't even need a car for the weekend. Once I got back from my trip, she hands over the keys for my car and starts to tear up

She's all, "I took your car once to the mall and when I was adjusting the mirror I burnt the cloth piece above the window. I am wicked sorry

"

You can imagine my reaction

Why the fuck are you smoking butts in my car in the first place? Stupid bitch

She claims that she is willing to pay to replace the piece and to pay for the installment, but who knows if she ever will or not. I have a feeling it is going to be at least $300 b/c anytime the bimmer needs something it is always at least $300.

I apologize for venting here but at least I know you all would get as pissed as I did over something like that. Anyone else have any horror stories about letting others use your car?

i dont agree with smoking, but whatever, give it a break, shes your sister not any weirdo

I don't let people use my car unless I am with them and too drunk to drive it.
and sorry babe but that is exactly why

Yup. If anything, you own her for a while, in case you ever need favors and whatnot.

I NEVER let ANYONE drive my car. My mom doenst even drive my car and my dad rarely drives it. None of my friends can drive my car.

**DEATH2000** · 06-27-2005, 03:36 PM

man the only reason my mom ever got to drive my old Mercedes was cause she gave me $5000 to do so

Nope, the piece definitely needs to be replaced. It is a huge black burn on the light gray cloth. It doesn't look very good.

Ahh the perks of the edit button

But seriously, that must be very frustrating. I mean, the whole headliner no doubt must be replaced. That's gotta come outa her pocket. Oh and IMO it's really rude to smoke in a borrowed car

It is actually a separate piece so the whole headliner doesn't have to be replaced. Lucky for her...otherwise that would cost a pretty penny. And I agree, it is very rude to smoke in a borrowed car that is not normally smoked in...cigarettes anyway.
