Rep Power: 24 | I know this has nothing to do with skin care.. but..today was a bummer.. My 16 year old had my brand new car..and some other teenager CRASHED the back-end in..at a stop..he did not... 3,000. worth of damage.. I was sick when I pulled up to the car and saw it.. I am very glad she is alright.. but my beautiful new car.. a Miata..neon blue custom ground effects.. is crunched..and well... sniff sniff... it looks very bad.. |

Rep Power: 23 | So sorry to hear about your car but I'm thrilled to hear that your daughter is fine... This is what we have insurance for. and what a nice mother to allow her daughter to drive a brand-new car. My truck is 2 years old and I still don't let anyone drive it. hhehe |

Rep Power: 23 | A car is only a thing that can be replaced. njchica is right... that's why they make insurance. Thank goodness your daughter is alright. I hope she isn't too shaken to drive. How's she taking it? I remember my first accident. It took me awhile to get behind the wheel again. Did they total the vehicle or can it be repaired? |

Rep Power: 24 | Keeli has been taking her car just right around the area now.. little by little.. She was shaken..because she thought she had done something wrong.. Talked to State Farm yesterday.. we are covered 100% and that boys insurance maust pay the deductable..(250.00). They do not think our insurance will increase as it was not Kees fault. but she is just 16..so they will see.. Several times Keeli has asked Daddy and me if she can drive with her friends down to Disneys Pleasure Island for teen night..and Wet N Wilds Summer Nights Teen Parties.. We say No ..no Inter-state 4 yet... and these places are 30 minutes away with heavy heavy traffic.. Night driving on the interstate is not an option as of now.. Same with going 30 minutes to the beach yet..on I-4.. She has given us her list on why she should be able to do this.. at the TOP.. I AM RESPONSIBLE.. I AM CAREFUL.. I AM A GOOD DRIVER the list goes on and on.. We say.. It is not you Kee.. it's other people out there we worry about.. I think after this she now understands.. She keeps saying how sorry she is that she wrecked my car.. but I keep saying things happen Kee.. You are not to blame.. I am very tired these days.. I NEED VEGAS..... |

Rep Power: 23 | Once a car is crashed it is never the same , sell it fast before you notice it veering off to the side when ever you drive it, to you fell a dragging feeling as you drive it. Your daughter is lucky she didn't get whip lash, in Canada you get $25 thousand when ever someone bumps the back of your car,, its called the insurance lotto! I know someone that got 75 thousand over the last 3 years! What a scam! |

Rep Power: 27 | Poor Keeli, 2 accidents in a week. I bet she is so so upset! Bright side, she has had her quota for a long long time. Chris, I will put my body enhancements on the back burner while you take care of the auto-body shop.
