Today, was my 16th birthday and I was supposed to be surprised with a new car. I have overheard my parents talking about bringing it home tonight while I was at a friend's house. We snuck back to my house to see them bring my car home. All I saw was my Dad crash my new car into a street lamp. FML

not really a fml you have parents who would buy you a car for your birthday and i really doubt they wouldn't spend the money to fix it up for you

What your dad probably should have done was just park it in the garage or driveway, rather than drive it into a street lamp. Now it's all banged up...

My mom got herself a new car and gave me her 10 year old one when I was able to drive so that I could drive myself and my brothers to school and she wouldn't need to do that anymore. Too close for them to send a bus with the way the budgets are, too far and unsafe to walk (would require crossing a six-lane highway that didn't even have a crosswalk at that point in time- now it does). Pretty much all you need at that age is a functional car as long as you actually do need to drive somewhere. My car has its issues but even now that I'm 19 and still using the same car my parents are more than happy to help me with maintaining it, since it's older and that can cost a bit more. In a year or so maybe they're going to help me buy a new one (but by "new" I mean probably 2 years old or so) and we're passing the one I've been using on to my brothers (they're twins). I can see why this would be disappointing since you had all that anticipation, but hopefully it could still be fixed and your dad was okay?

FYL for having parents who would even consider buying you a car in the first place....i agree with #24

#8 I'm sure they wouldn't claim that since they wouldn't get any money, they'd probably just fix it without involving the insurance company. And this is not a FML I didn't get a car until I was 18, it was a 13 year old Mazda 626 with 125,000 miles on it, and I was happy to have that!

Sweetheart, for my sixteenth birthday I didn't even get a cake. You're not allowed to be pissed that your dad crashed the car. It's technically his, anyway. He's just letting you drive it. Did you even thank him when you saw the car? I sure as heck hope so.

wow, glad to see you care about a freakin car more then weather your dad was hurt. your a real winner

WHAT?! this is NOT AN FML. The fact that you got a car for your 16th is more than what most of us would ever get. YOU ARE A SPOILT BRAT, and if I was your father, I'd punch you in the face! You make me never want to have kids.
