Today, I let my friend borrow my car. She parked it in a towing zone, and it was towed. The best part is, it was towed by a bogus towing company. The cops assure me it's safe in a chop shop somewhere. FML

Today, I went to lunch with a friend in her car. I told her to park in a lot that had signs warning that we'd be towed, saying, "They never tow anyone from here. In fact, if you get towed, I'll pay for it." When we returned, her car was gone. I had to pay $145 in cash to get it back. FML

Today, my friend borrowed my car and decided to get pulled over after a high speed chase. My car got towed in a town over 100 miles away. Choose your friends wisely. FML

Today, I dropped off a box for my sister at her job. In a rush, I unknowingly parked in a reserved spot. When I got back to my car, I saw that my car was being towed. After successfully flirting myself out of an expensive towing bill, I backed into the pole behind me, leaving a noticeable dent. FML

Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML

Driving is expensive

Today, my car was towed. After taking a cab all the way to the lot for $45 and paying the $250 fee to get my car back, my car broke down in the impound lot and needed to be towed to the nearest shop, where it took another $200 to fix, and $50 for the towing. I still have a 3-hour drive home. FML

Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML

Today, I borrowed a roommate's car to get groceries. I came out to find the car stolen. I called the cops, and the responding officer took the info and drove me home to give the roomie the bad news in person. 15 minutes later, they found the car. I'd parked it on the opposite side of the lot. FML

Today, after a couple of months of enjoying an informal parking arrangement with a local bank, I found out they sold their extra lot without telling me. The new owner's towing company heard about the deal, though. FML

PLEASE tell me you two aren't friends anymore... Or at least that your friend replaced your car!

Don't let your friends borrow you car.

That is why you let NO ONE borrow something as substantial like your car without some collateral. Let 'em pay their own damn cab fare… I learned that the hard way, too! >:(

1. Never let anyone borrow your car 2. Call the insurance company and file a claim* 3. Go to the local courthouse, and file a claim against the friend for the car** * if you not have insurance, skip this step ** look up the value of the car, and if you have insurance and they will pay out on the car minus deductible, sue for the deductible

Friends usually get the "rental car attitude" if their buddy let them borrow their vehicle. They don't give a shit cause it isn't their car. Which is why people shouldn't let others borrow their car.

When I was in my 20's I co-signed for a friend to help him establish his credit. His payment was $10. a month. Every month I had to run him down and remind him. I learned that if a person's parents won't help him out -- there is a good reason. So there's a good reason why your "friend" doesn't have a car.
