Red face My mom is going to kill me!

My mom is going to be back from vacation on Monday and I have to get this car fixed before she gets back.

I was trying to impress the 16 year old neighbor girl and let her practice for her driving test using my moms 944 and it got crashed.

I don't have a license so she told me I wasn't to drive it for any reason, but she didn't say anything about anyone else.

She bought it brand new and it has 52k miles and it has always been garaged.

What should I do?

Here are a couple pictures, does it look fixable?

I would leave home now while you can. Dumb move.


And let's hope this is April 1st humor.

Damn Russell what the hell happened?! Your moms car looks like its toast! I just sent Aaron a pm sayin he should use you for his clutch job cause your responsible and honest! What were you thinkin! The door looks like it fits in the hole ok so I doubt the tub is twisted but the iner fender and core support is wasted. Thats not good. Good Luck man but you done f'ed up. If you need a core and iner fender panel welded in let me know, but I might not be available for a while, I'v been on the road and am only home for the week end.

When I posted this I didn't even notice it was April 1st. WOW, what a coincidence.

I think the worst my mom will do is kick me out of the trailer I live in in her back yard. I hope this is all she does.

You gotta make this right with your mom. You owe her that. My wife just read this from over my sholder. What she had to say wasnt very nice. Worry bout taking care of your mom #1, Then worry bout taken care of you. Cause I'm afraid you earned a good ass kickin.

Ok, if you are serious (hoping that this is an April Fools joke) Here is my advice:
1: It's Saturday empty your bank account.
2: Head to Mexico and get a temporary citizenship card
3: After a month of temporary citizenship travel to a NONextradition country.
4: If needed (and highly recomended) find a good plastic sergeon to change your appearance, maybe even splice your femors to gain or lose height.
5: Get used to wearing coloroed contacts!
6: NEVER try to impress a 16 year old again!

This has got to be an april fools joke. Washington hasn't used those plates for a long time now. They look like this now...

Yah, my mom let the tabs expire a couple years ago. You don't put tabs on the front anyway in WA.

Actually the girl is 15.5 and that is close enough according to the attorney her parents spoke to.

Why is the plate so old? If you are 15.5 in WA you need to have a valid learners permit and be with someone that has 4 + years experience. You would be in deep shizzle.
