Hey, I'm sad to report my festivas been crushed. After a few weeks of non-stop fighting with my dad about giving me back my license plates after he pulled them from an accident, it wasn't even bad enough to call an accident though..i slid into a caravans wheel on ice, popped the hubcap off, but he was paying my insurance so..anyways, i ended up doing something really stupid, taking off from my house in my unplated car, and he followed me to my girlfriends house, and took my keys..told me to empty it out because he as scrapping it the next morning. I know i shouldn't have taken off with it, but him scraping my first car, that he had no money into besides paying my insurance, i bought the car and paid for parts, was taking this too far i think..so when i decide to go back home lol, I'm gonna see about how much work my trucks gonna be to put on the road.

One thing to remember here is that we are only hearing part of one side of the story. Maybe there was already a policy in place that if he drove the car without plates (which is not too smart in the first place) then he loses the car. Maybe he called his dad's bluff and it wasn't a bluff after all.
And Fred... you'd be losing more than your car at my house with that attitude :!:

Ask him to sell it and give the money to charity or something.
It's not nice to waste Festivas!

The car was in his name, i planned on changing it over the week after he took my plates so he had absolutely no say in it at all, and id end up paying insurance, money-wise it was not his car, but it was in his name for insurance. I was going to call the only wrecking yard here with a crusher, and ask if they crushed it, and if they said yes id ask if he was carded, and inform them it was mine, because I'm almost certain a wrecking yard wouldn't card a guy dropping off a car. But, if it did get scrapped, there's nothing i can do about it. I'm still pretty pissed, and have been asking him for rides everywhere to show how i can double his gas use without a car of my own lol
