Default What happened to my car...

Crazy Story...

I decided to sell my civic a few weeks ago. My dad said he would take over the payments for a month or two because his car was broke down and he needed a car, then he would sell it himself. So he takes the car to newport news with him. I told him to be careful with the remote start...so what does he do? The first place he stops at in newport news he leaves it in 1st gear with no e-brake and hits the button accidentally in his pocket...

Anyways the car goes through a fence, down a hill, and halfway into a lake. It's not "my" car anymore so I shouldn't care, but I'm still kinda saddened. Plus I still needed to get the turbo kit and some other stuff off the car.

Just thought u guys would get a kick outta that one
