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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my car was totaled. It was so new, I haven't even made the first payment on it yet. FML
Today, I bought my very first car. My dad insisted on driving it, just to see how it handles, and drove it right off the bridge near our house into our river because he hasn’t driven anything in 15 years, which also means he has no insurance, at all. FML
Today, I bought a car. Made a down payment and everything. Have the papers saying it’s mine, only to find out a few hours later it was sold right before I bought 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 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 friend got her first car. I bought mine three weeks ago and haven't started making payments. She came straight from the dealership to pick me up. She backed into my car. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrecked our car. Now I can't get to work in order to make the money we need to buy a new one. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two and a half years left me. To clear my head I decided to go for a drive. My car broke down on the way. The only mechanic I have ever used and trusted with my car is my boyfriend. Yes, I had to call him. FML
Today, I financed my first car. I also made my first call to AAA when it broke down. It barely had any miles on it and I wasn't even home yet. FML

My grandpa said there are two things you never lend out: your car and your wife -- neither will come back the same!

Perhaps OP saved for years to buy the car outright, rather than signing up to pay years for it on finance.

If his name wasn’t on the insurance with you, then that’s your problem.

Very true, no one who is uninsured should drive a car.

Hopefully you can get another car with the help from your boyfriend.

you shouldn't be buying a car that takes years to save for. I hope he helps pay

still a bad idea. if anything goes wrong with a car you can't afford you'll be in a lot of trouble.

prolly wasn't the smartest idea to let him test drive it so ydi. then again, I don't let anyone drive my car unless it's an emergency.
