I know exactly what you are feeling right now, something similar happened to me. I let a friend drive my Stealth a while back, and the ********** pretty much drove it like he stole it. Completely tore up 2nd gear (synchros and all). All of this while I was in the car!! I wanted to punch him in the head, but that probably wouldn't have been the smartest thing to do while he was driving.

Cost me ~2K to get it fixed. So I have implemented a policy similar to some of the comments in this thread... Don't let someone else drive your performance car.

Good luck getting her fixed.

if your friend can't drive your car like it's his. then he has no respect to you. (unless he beats the hell out of his own car on a regualr basis)

p.s. I'm a claims adjuster

Do all insurances work this way? State farm tells me my insurance follows me or my car. IE i rent a car and crash it, it is covered. I think I need to call my agent

If he is in the military, he should be able to give you some mula to fix it. Otherwise he'd be in a whirl of ****. Military has this thing about their workers owing people/businesses money. Being that he's 32, I take it he's not a lower rank guy. Then again, you shouldn't have to ask, he should offer.
