However, out of all of the cars, there is one car which nobody touches, which remains under a cover unless it's taken out for a show 'n' shine, or to head to a workshop to have parts installed. The 'project' car.
It's a 2001 VX SS Commodore (yeah gimme all the sh*t you want but it's not mine so good luck with it) and they've spent in excess of $15K on modifications, and it's the future father-in-law's 'baby'.
Anyways, the missus and I get home this morning to see her mum in tears and basically losing her sh*t. The missis' sister has a boyfriend who isn't exactly the most intelligent bloke on the planet (lower socio-economic, aggressive, wants nothing but a career in skateboarding, rippink skids in the carpark etc). Last night while everybody was out, he decided it'd be a great idea to take the cover off the commodore and take it for a midnight cruise. He saw a police car, flexed it because he had no license, and crashed the car in a ditch, estimated damage of $8K. The car was insured for only 30yrs+ to drive it, and the family doesn't know what to do in regards to costs and blame. IMO I'd report the car as stolen (as it was) and let him accept full responsibility for his actions, in civil AND criminal court.
Just thought I'd post this as a rant, and as an announcement of my loss in faith for Gen Y. I am genuinely scared for my generation.
