Today, after having saved up my money for months to buy my college-bound son the car of his dreams, I got a phone call telling me it had been totalled during a drag-race. I only gave him the keys two days ago. FML

Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML

Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML

Today, I bought my son a nice car for his 18th birthday. When I gave it to him, he just got mad and told me that if I really wanted to spend that much money on him, I should've used it to help him pay for college. FML

Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML

Today, my car was totaled. It was so new, I haven't even made the first payment on it yet. FML

Today, I found out the real reason my dad bought a new car and generously gave me his old one. He knew the engine was about to fail and didn't want it to be his problem when it finally did. It blew out while I was driving at high speed on the motorway. Just my luck. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a local drag racing spot to get her more involved with my friends. Her ex showed up and wanted to race me. I won the race, but blew my engine. I had to use his dad's towing service to get my car home. FML

Today, my dad brought home a used hunk of junk from someone he knew. It was covered in rust and dents, and the engine was making weird noises. Thinking he was being generous, he said to me, "When you get your license, you'll be driving it!" It then died with a loud bang and black smoke from under the hood. FML

Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML

Today, my father stole the money I'd saved up by working and spent it all gambling. I'd saved it up for a year for a new car. FML

I seriously hope you knocked his dumb ass out. And that you had insurance.

I'm sorry that you have an irresponsible son who doesn't appreciate you saving up for a car! Kick his ass and make him mend it! :)

I'm sorry but that's what you get for handing him stuff.. Make him buy his own car or, if you want to buy him something, buy him just enough of a car to get around. Besides, I doubt that, if you had to save for months to afford it, the car would be the car of his dreams anyway..

YDI. No college kid needs the car of his dreams. He should work for it. Shoulda paid for books instead.

That's what you get for spoiling your kid. He didn't buy it, so why should he care? You'll just get him another. He would have probably been more careful had he worked for the money to buy the car.

Smart very smart, not. You should of make him buy his own damn car and drag race and loose it on his own. You deserve it for being an idiot. Well now you can buy your kid another one , HAHAHAAHAA don't forget a house so he can sit it on fire

That's why I'd only give a kid a cheap car. They lose it; I absorb small damages, they are out having a car and won't be getting another one and will be paying through the ears for insurance until they're 25 if they get one themselves and NO, they can't have a ride.
