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.
pearl yellow 95 RT/TT w/28K miles
12.93 @ 107.3
charcoal 91 300ZX Twin Turbo 5 speed w/32K miles
Borla exhaust, custom downpipe, no cats
JWT Single POP intake / JWT ECU @ 13PSI
2002 Kawasaki ZX9R stock (fast enough)
