1) Got a Lawyer?
2) Did you hit him?
3) I had to wipe a couple of tears away too, and it isn't my car.
It's bad enough when we do it ourselves, but when a"friend" does it, that sucks huge.

Get a lawyer and sue his ass. Does he have insurance? Have the claim put through on his policy. I don't think he is going to be much of a friend when this is all settled. Hope the vacation was good. Sucks what you came home to though.

Holy $%^*...
Aside from the obvious advice of get a lawyer and prepare to go to town on your "friends" ass there's not much more I can say...
If I came back from vacation and my car looked like that I'm thinking I'd be committing murder after a good crying jag :blink: <_< :(

no bigge, it will buff right out.
Couple of things,
1- Never lend anything to anyone unless you are certain they will be able to have replacement value. I only lend my car to one guy, bc i know he can afford to buy me a new one :)
2- I'm hoping he has called his insurance compnay and they are going to pay for the damages.
3- If he says he is going to pay you/help you fix it, you say no and you walk away from it.
Goodluck and let us know how it turns out.

go with Mo's advice, and ignore the 'punch in face' advice.. you don't need a countersuit later on..
Sorry this had to happen to you... I'd personally hope my friends are better than that..

It took me 4 times to read it, but I think I understood what you said.

Wow, just freaking wow.
I would have popped him one for sure, countersuit be damned. Your old lady needs a beer for her efforts!
Get it settled and get yourself a new car. Then, pull up at buddy's place, call him down and inform him he'll never get a ride in it. EVER.
SGI is provincially-run, right? Makes me think twice about wanting to do away with private insurance in Ontario when they do s*** like that.
Good luck with the car hunt!

that sucks Garret, SGI is a little difficult to deal with sometime. Just has all your bills and that it to arbitration if you don't agree on the amount.
as for finding a used SVTF, there aren't too many around Sask. Think there was EAP SVT in black in Regina for sale awhile ago. I'm not ready to part with mine right now.
