My Friend Crashed my Z!
Look this is simple, do what Kam350z says. It'll make you fell 110% better. And if it doesn't make you feel better, than at least you won't think about the car so much.
As long as no one got seriously hurt, it's going to work out, things happen for a reason.
Good Luck.

Thats not 100% true...maybe where you work it is but with State Farm if I drive another persons car and I wreck it, my insurance covers it.

Right down the street that says DEAD END! and slams the brakes crashes threw the barrier, jumps the curb and onto some gravel. I'm so pissed I run over there. He feels like ****, I want to kill him.! I mean really I wanted to rip his F*ck*ng head off.
Here is whats damaged, Front bumper beyond repair, Passenger side front fender beyond repair maybe. both sider skirts, driver side side mirror, and last but not least, the sh*t that pisses me off most.!! my 19" Volk GT-7!
He said he'll pay for it or buy me a body kit and have it painted anywhere. BUT MY RIMS!!! GOD HELP ME! I'm gong to kill him! I had to leave, I told him I'd call him tomorrow we got witnesses. I know he'll pay I'm just so ajkghahjkasl;kasefdl;iuauefwbewvfbveljbsevl pissed I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Wow, sorry to hear this. Very tough way to find out what your friend is capable of! Hope he does pay up as requested - and if it end up being your insurance that covers it, he should pay your increased premiums for the next three years too.
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
I've let two really good friends drive my car and god for bid nothing has happened but i think its the end of the line because both of them are always broke and would never be able to pay for a dimes worth of damage. But sorry to hear about it hope everything works out.

damn that sux man....painful pictures to look at...
but ummm...don't mean to dwell on your grievance, but umm... can you post a better picture of a good angle of your car with the wheels? I never really like Volks, but it looks pretty good on your Z...

What..your friend doesn't even know his own neighborhood? You said you went running over there, so it must have been close to his house! I agree, this guy is a bonehead, and never let him forget it! Regardless if you remain friends or not...

As posted above, I never let anyone drive me car and in return, I never ask to drive anyone elses car. Only people that have driven my car since I purchased it are my father (for about 30 min total to test it out,) and a valet guy (who I slipped $20 to to make him park it in the VIP parking spot and keep it there.)
My own blood cousin has been asking me to drive my car and I always reply with, "no."
