However, it just so happened that his 17-year-old stepbrother had his prom that weekend. And his stepbrother knew both the alarm code to his home, as well as where he had hidden the keys to the car.
So, his stepbrother decided to borrow the car for the night, and it did not end well.
“I don’t think my stepbrother was even drinking. The car is just not easy to drive. It doesn’t have any safety features and is tough to handle for anyone less than an experienced driver,” he prefaced.
That’s why his stepbrother wound up miss shifting, spinning out, and clipping a high curb– resulting in a good amount of damage to the car.
Thankfully, no one was hurt. His stepbrother had already dropped off his prom date at home and had been alone in the vehicle.
Plus, the vehicle was still able to drive afterward. So, his just stepbrother brought the car back to his garage– meaning that no accident report was ever filed.
However, his surveillance cameras caught his stepbrother red-handed. He watched as the car left his garage in pristine condition and was later returned wrecked that evening.
He was seriously livid when he found out about what had happened, too. But, while his father and stepmother were very apologetic, they have not really taken any responsibility for his stepbrother’s actions.
They originally wanted him to try and just claim the accident against his insurance. But he was not on board with that at all.
So, his father and stepmother eventually offered to just pay for the repair of his car– which should cost under $60,000.
Locating parts for this specific vehicle is not easy, though. Plus, due to the accident, his car has now lost an insane amount of value.
