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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 woke up and saw my new car was gone and my son seemed very shifty. When I questioned him with the cops, he admitted to taking it for a joyride and "leaving it" behind a derelict mall. We drove over. It was wrapped around a light post, completely destroyed. 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 son got pulled over by a cop for speeding. He decided it was bullshit and floored the gas. He barely made it half a mile before losing control and crashing into a house. Now I'm being sued by the homeowner, my son is in jail, and my car is totaled. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It can't be that bad. It only took you a couple months to save up for it, so you have a good enough income for it not to matter.

22- You would be amazed at some of the idiots that get into college. I could've gone to any number of good schools and chose a state school because they have the best degree program in the country for my degree. Some of the idiots I've had to edit papers for in my english classes just blew my mind.

College in America. "If you have the money, WELCOME! Who cares if you are smart enough to actually do well, give us money!"

109, it's down south in Georgia, more like a John Deere than bumper car. So a 96 civic hatchback with fart can exhaust and window tint totaled isn't that big of a loss...

"The car of his dreams" eh? Sounds to me as if you are rakin in enough money that it really shouldn't be a problem.

Assuming OP gave her son "The Car of His Dreams" I would assume it was fast. Did you think he was going to drive a steady 35 mph?

You mean not everyone's dream car is a Dodge Caravan? You could live in one of those things....down by the river.

Your probably more hideous than the thrashed car. I'd rather be a jackass than look like one. Oh wait...you're both.

His son is the one who should feel like a jackass

Oh wait sorry wrong person lol i am still new to this fml app and i didnt realize i was commenting the wrong person. The guy who said "bet you feel like a jackass" is the douche.

Exactly what everyone thinks when they look at your hair!! So glad we agree!!

It's okay. You can go with thinking your pretty and all. Dislike this of you please but your not. I know I'm a dick but only to people that annoy the shit out of me, which is you. So get a new picture because your nose covers more than half of it. :)

I just wanna know how you crash going in a straight line? Someone needs to learn how to drive before they get "the car of his dreams"

I find it funny that "Snookie" is calling someone out..

FALCON PUNCHHHHHH!!!!!

Most insurance companies have a clause that allows them not to pay when a car was wrecked from racing. It's to prevent them from having to cover people like OP's son.

Fhl for being an ungrateful dumbass

I can't even imagine if I totaled the car my parents bought me in a drag race. I would be effed for life. Like they would just make me walk everywhere. O.o

The next FML's gonna read: I just totalled my two day old car racing, now I'm taking the bus. FML.

XD I lol'ed.

He better have, or that mom has a bigger right to beat his ass!

I'd make him pay for it himself and then take the car away.

Car=totaled Might need a hammer to get some of the dents out. Otherwise you might not be able to drive it immediately.
ReynshineCutting 10
Well you should never rule out the possibility that your kid will total a car. If you buy them a new one, do so at your own risk. Some kids are just dumber than others and some are just plain unlucky. That really sucks but insurance should replace it.
Snookie85 19
Either ground him or kill him, lol

Insurance should replace the money ... The kid should walk till he can buy his own car
tfair85 2
Insurance would only cover it if they have full coverage, and even then most policies do not cover a car that was wrecked in a race.
skillz8 0
His fault not yours ground that kid!
Chaos187 6
Well you see...there a problem there. If he's college bound it means he doesn't live with his parents. What are they going to do? Come down to the college and take his tv out? No sir cause that would be breaking and entering. See ya just can't win at these things...
gracer_fml 0
Chances are that his parents are paying for college or at least helping to pay for it, and if that's the case she definitely has the right to punish him.
ReynshineCutting 10
I'm wondering if you were responding to someone else since your comment has nothing to do with mine? I'll respond anyway though. I know a lot of college kids who live with their parents. My brother in law does, a friend from high school did for awhile, my best friend now lives half the time with her husband and half the time with her parents since she's in school half the week. If he's not living at home and in a dorm, dorms will let the parents in. If he's in an apartment or rental house, his parents had to cosign on the contract, so they too can get in. No B&E there.
