@#$%^&*()%^&*()!!!!!!!!!

So my dad was panicking because my local Costco posted wrong price on their Premium gas price equal to Regular Unleaded Gas. He rushed my younger brother to fill up my sister's X5 eventhough it's still half tank. Out the garage he went then...BAM!!! (Ok..not that hard but the damage was done):


This, over gas? How stupid can a guy be?

After this is done, he slapped his forehead (well deserved, dad!) then start blaming people for misunderstanding of what he said etc etc. The dude needs to let go if his younger son (my brother) just too fixated to his (computer) game not the (his sister X5's) gas tank. Why do I have to pay for it?

PS: He offered to pay for the damage and he bet me that the price of gas won't go lower than today. I told him it's on!

Your sister should get a Fit - now that her X5 is totaled.

Maybe she can take over yours and you can get another Fit.

Honda of Redwood City, eh? They jerked me around too much, and I ended up going with San Jose Honda. Can I ask what price they gave you on your Fit?

When I was a kid, I did the opposite. I hit my dads car that was behind mine. Needless to say, I definitely would rather my dad had hit mine

Still, sorry to hear that.

I bought from them since before the new ownership (hence the name change) came in. I got them at MSRP.

On the side note, I called up a recently recommended body shop and will down tomorrow afternoon for some estimate and/or possibly repair.

I have more pictures on the extend of the damage but everytime I look at (the dent), it makes me more pissed off.

I told my mom to punish my brother for backing into my car by taking away his computer for a month and she declined because he needed for school. Right.

She told me to bring him to the body shop when I pick up my car after it get fixed to teach him never to make the same mistake again. I asked her how is that going to teach him?

Everytime I told her that she spoiled him, she told me 'how did I spoil your brother?' (read the sentence right above this for example lol).

Anyway, I had to lose three hours of work just so I can take care of this blunder.

Oh, I'm going to get a sticker so I can street park, too.

I'm tired of the 'your car is so small we can't see it from the SUV' excuses.

Can you remember if it costs you 600 dollars, huh?

Take away his game CDs/DVDs so he can't load them up.

Damn... and you're related to all parties involved. Could make for interesting family dynamics in the short term.

Glad nobody got hurt.

Nope not a Navi here. When I got the car and they turned on the ignition, it only had 2 miles on it
