: Poll: Mother curbed my wheels, what would you do?


slammer111
09-10-2009, 12:55 AM
I can't seem to create a poll here, but need some opinions. Please reply with a letter(s) (see choices) and a small blurb explaining your rationale. Here's the story, sorry for the length:

I lent my nice shiny car to my mother for a day, and she decides to rash up my rear left wheel. It's no small nick; it goes 1/4 around the rim and is easily 1cm wide in many parts. :cry: Didn't see some curb in a parking lot blah blah blah..

This car is 100% paid for + owned by me. Gas, insurance, the works. Car is 6 years old now but I've been babying it since Day 1. The rims are authentic AMGs (ie not the regular stock stuff), and took me several months of hunting online to locate.

My mother is definitely not the best driver. She has already damaged (visible) my front and rear bumpers by smacking into stuff (all during parking) on previous occasions, and she drives my car only maybe once a month. I have already let those slide (ie the damage has NOT been fixed for cost reasons) but seriously, this is getting tiring. My mother obviously hasn't learned.

I am Chinese, so no, I cannot beat/murder my parents. ;) I also live at home though I do pay monthly rent.

My mother does not have a car of her own. So it's either my car or public transit.

The dealer wants $1100CAD (after tax) for ONE wheel. :eek: Meanwhile, a used one can be probably had for maybe $300, but is obviously subject to availability. My rims are used, but that particular one was 100% PERFECT before this curbing, so I don't want to just get some beaten up replacement off eBay unless it's also in perfect condition, which isn't the easiest to pull off.

NuBrite said they can fix my wheel for $250, but I have no idea if they can match my other wheels in terms of colour or paint quality. I think AMGs might have some sort of special coating as my stock non-AMG wheels cake brake dust like crazy and these ones don't. So honestly it's a real gamble.

My mother is apologetic and is willing to cough up the cash for all the options below. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Please pick a letter(s) (you can pick more than 1):
A) Forgive her with a smile since she's my mother after all. Pay for the damage to my car (including the rim) out of my own pocket.
B) Have her buy me a brand new rim off the stealership.
C) Have her pay for a repaint at NuBrite. Since I'm worried about colourmatching and my left front has light damage anyways, I'm going to do both on the same side.
D) Have her pay for one off eBay in excellent condition. The biggest downside to this one is that I don't know when I'll find one, so this could take a while.
E) Also make her pay for repaints of my front and rear bumpers, to fix the damage she inflicted on my car in the past.
F) Find her a beater Honda or something, make her buy it using her money, then ban her from driving my car.

Thanks!

Did your parents paid anything for the car? If so then I wouldn't ask for the money back.

PS: It's only rashes right? If the wheel drives straight I would have cared less. (that's unless you buy a separate car for her, then if it was me, I would fix the rim up and she will never drive it again.)

^ Parents gave me a loan at buying time, but I've returned the full amount (and more) already.

I have no problem letting her drive it, but her racking up all this additional damage really isn't giving me incentive anymore.

Lay the smackdown on her and then never let her touch the car again. Just drive her around when she wants to go out instead. Or just get a manual car, then for sure she won't be able to drive that hahah.

just fix the rim yourself...if you're really anal about colour, you can always colour match the two rims on the same side of the car.

then buy your mom a beater.

A, and you really need to get her a beater that's worth less than your rims.

my dad curbed the crap out of my AMG blings too.... I mean whachagonna do? AMG cars are built for old people to drive they take that kind of abuse every now and then.

Not one of the choices but, make her pay for something else or a service and call it even, like... pay for another expense or... u dont have to wash the dishes for 6 months.

I hate washing the dishes.

It's going to hurt her a lot if you ask her to cough up a few hundred bucks.

Fix it yourself and maybe get her a car to use.

The woman GAVE BIRTH TO YOU, and you’re worried about your wheels? Ask her how many times she had to wipe your ass.

Be a proper son, and buy her an old Honda she can beat up till her hearts content. Call it a christmas present or somthing if you like. Then go and pay to fix your wheels.

If this woman still cooks you meals, you have no business even asking this question.

you should give it up
rims are rims whatever my mom crashed my car that I payed for.

buy your self another self of rims, then go buy your mom a used car.
and your an idiot for even posting this, respect your mom, she gave you more then just a coupe fancy penny's to help you buy that fancy AMG merc.

be a son, not an ass

i love my mom to death and do anything i can to make her happy, but the one thing i absolutely will not do, is let her drive my car. i just simply will not let it happen, i dont have a problem taking her places that she needs to go. the only person i allow to drive it inside my family is my dad. the only time a woman gets to drive my car is when im drunk, other then that? no dice. also unlike the op, every dime that was put into my car, was mine, no parents help.

Forgive your mom and buy her a beater.

If your mom drives only once a month, then she is obviously not as alert and skilled as you are. Parking a car comes with experience, I remembered the first week I got my license, I parallel parked the passenger rear wheel on top of the curb. O.o

If you do buy her a beater, and you go out with her to places often, you should let HER drive. You can maybe give some pointers. Hell even if you decide to fix your rims instead, you should still let her drive your car more than once a month.

Dude shes your mom... are you kidding me. she paid for your food, education and other countless things when you were young.... and now ur being a drama queen just because she scratched your rims. OMG grow up. fix it or get a new set of rims. and DONT ask your mom to pay for it either. shes paid for enough things earlier in your life. Suck it up and move on. My mom has even fked up my front end before. I was only mad for 3 mins, in the end i paid for the damage and got a new front lip!

I choose option A and only option A

09-10-2009, 08:46 AM
Dude, I know you're picky, from the conversation we had about jacks and jack stands possible scratching your underbody panels and diff, yet this verges on obsession.

slammer treats his car like a plastic wrapped couch, it has to stay in perfect new condition. I'm surprised he even drives the car, it might get paint chipped. :p

Get NuBrite to refinish the wheel:
- if there is a difference in paint colour, you'll hardly notice it. When was the last time your front wheel was directly beside your rear wheel?
- most of these places do fantastic jobs repainting wheels, thick durable paint. I'm going to repaint mine this winter.
- MB wheels aren't coated in some magic brake dust resistant paint. The difference you're seeing is OEM wheels versus cheap replica wheels. My cheap replica wheels are magnets for brake dust cause the paint chipped easily.
- there's nothing special about authentic AMG rims other than they are heavy and overpriced for what you get.

shantz
09-10-2009, 08:47 AM
C - Nubrite is pretty reasonable - I use them quite regularly for a lot of insurance claim work.

I would probably just worry about the one wheel - just be specific when you drop it off that if it doesn't match you will ask them to repaint the wheel again. If it matches then you're set. If not, they should be responsible to repaint the wheel and do a better job of the color.

DUDE! ITS YOUR MOM! she cleand your ass when you was little, she stuff your mouth with food for years. i think a damage wheel can be forgiven.

Presto
09-10-2009, 09:43 AM
I certainly fucked up my parents' cars enough and caused them grief on many many occasions. I think the least I could do was to let the rims go, and buy her her own car to fuck up. Of course, my mom isn't the OPs mom, so I'm not worried about damage. She is maxed out on ICBC's claim rated scale (level -20).

ecchiecchi
09-10-2009, 10:27 AM
Thing about long term solutions- You getting her to pay for your rims doesn't solve anything.

Buying her a car to drive that's safe enough does.

Or alternatively- do your best to teach her how to drive. Ahaha

Drift_Monkey

Time to upgrade to some Brabus wheels.
AMG wheels can now be your winter steelies =p

J/k .. look on the bright side, at least she didn't crash the car.

I guess you should go with option C since buying a new one means you have to throw away the damaged one or keep it as junk in the garage.

09-10-2009, 11:35 AM

i guess don't lend her your car next time ... sounds like a good idea

so i guess i pick A) and F)

JackyJai
09-10-2009, 11:47 AM
How about stop crying and get yourself another set?
She is your mom... What are you going to do if she refuses to pay for your rim??
Shoot her in the head!?!?
Or take her to court!?
Or take a dump on her food!?

besides, I don't think it's worth the money getting AMG wheels. Yes it's aftermarket on your car but it's OEM on the AMGs.
So why not just get something that's actually aftermarket?

Son, just like the mother, has not learned!

I say give her cab fare for one day, and fix up your car slowly. Also, talk to your mom about it, she will understand, cuz mom's usually understand shit.

Final Choice:
A) Forgive her - its not worth hating or holding a grudge
G) Fix your own car
H) Learn the lesson - never let anyone drive the car - cuz no one , NO ONE loves it as much as you do!

Get your MOTHER to pay for the repaint at NuBrite. If colour do not match then get your MOTHER to pay for new rim at stealership. While she is reaching for her purse ask your MOTHER to fork out extra $ for bumper damages she caused in the past. If she refuses any of the previous stated.... SUE YOUR MOTHER!

rageguy
09-10-2009, 03:12 PM
A.) Make your mom sad and disappointed by asking her to pay up. Get new rims and maybe even new bumpers in return.
B.) Suck it up and know that you appreciate your mom regardless of some damage to some material goods.

Lomac
09-10-2009, 03:35 PM
I'd pick option A... but then ask if they're willing to let one month go rent-free, so that the money you would have paid for room and board can instead go to the car. This way you both are technically paying for the repairs.

If my son fucked my car up, he'd be paying to fix it - life lesson.

If you were my kid and not a complete asshole (take care of your shit, don't disrespect me, don't get into trouble and work hard), I would insist that my wife and I pay to fix it. Then I'd go get my wife a beater. If you want to chip in, great.

Forgive her, give her your car as her beater, then you go buy a Civic Si instead. or you can make her pay for the damage and you pay her back all her time and effort to wipe your shit since the day you were born, and the blood she gave to you, might as well

FatalCloud
09-10-2009, 06:14 PM
this would not happen to me as i don't let my mom or dad drive my car. yes i'm an ass of a son. i know their driving habits though and i don't trust them. it's avoiding trouble and hassles. but if this did happen to me, i'd make my mom pay for nubrite and call it a day.

I would just suck it up and pay however much it costs to buy a new one or fix it. Pretty sure everyone here has damaged something their parents owned when they were younger, I know I have.

There's nothing else you can really do except suck it up and buy her a car if you don't want her scratching up yours.

Just pay that $250 repair cost out of your own pocket as it is just such a small amount. From now on, spend a day once a month to drive your mom doing her shopping. It's just a few hours a month and you should probably able to help her out.

Thanks for the replies guys. Keep 'em coming. :)

Not sure how some of you jumped to some of your conclusions, but this has nothing to do with extorting. It has to do with my mom taking responsibility and paying for damage to stuff she broke. I didn't ask for a new set of 4 rims or a trip to Europe. And yes, my mom can afford this easily so it's not like she'll be starving for a month if she pays for repairs. It's the principle here.

Also, for the record since some of you missed it twice already, this car is 100% PAID FOR BY ME.

It's not possible to have my mother 100% not drive my car. For example, if I left town for the weekend, she'd be using it to do errands. That I don't mind as long as she doesn't damage my car.

Getting my mother a beater is basically telling her to her face "you suck at driving and are not worthy of driving a half-decent car", so I'm hesitant to do that and I want my mom to enjoy the car as much as I do.. However, I also want my mother to understand that fixing stuff is not as cheap as she thinks, and since she's not paying a penny for repairs up to now, she has no idea. She's already offered to "pay whatever amount makes me happy", so I'm trying to strike a balance between getting the damage repaired to my standards, and making sure she feels the pinch of paying for repairs.

Taylor, yes I do baby my car. :) And actually, the AMG finish does seem to be different from my 16" stockies. I can show you my stock rims (they're my winter beaters) when I stick them on in a month. Little black dots/blobs all over them that do NOT come off, which is why they became my beaters. Oh, and my mother has curbed those too. ;)

godwin
09-11-2009, 06:03 PM
Since your mom borne you, I am sure your mom knows how to take responsibility.

You know the easiest solution based on what you say?

Get a new car, give your mom your current car.. problem solved.. don't even have to fix the curbed wheels. She won't feel left out, and you have another car to baby.

This incident - let it go.

Going forward - if she ever wants to drive your car again then she must agree to pay for any future damage. No agree = no drive. It would be best to explain that this incident was a $1,100 mistake so that she is not ignorant about the amounts involved.

If she can't accept that then she has no respect for your property and will mutilate it at her will and your cost. Boundaries are a good thing...even when they're tough to implement.

lol why is this even a poll. it's ur mother for christ sake. Even if my mom totaled my car and burned my house down, i wouldnt make her pay for it. She carried u for 8 months and raise u for how ever many years. that's more than your car is worth 100x over if ur penny pincing. But since she drives ur car all the time, i wouldnt even bother repairing them cuz chances are she'll curb them again. It's ok, after a week, you wont even care acout them being curbed anymore. Mine are so curbed from my mom driving it... First time i took them to greens. the 3rd time, i gave up, the 10th time i didnt even notice until she told me hahaha

B, C, D are reasonable because you pay rent to live at home. Maybe strike a deal with them to not pay rent for a few months to make up for the damages?


I have already let those slide (ie the damage has NOT been fixed for cost reasons)
E... you kinda already answered that one by yourself. plus, it's an asshole-ish move to bring up situations in the past. next thing you know, you're going to be asking her to pay for the bicycle that she ran over when you were 5 years old.


My mother obviously hasn't learned.
A would be the righteous option. You are aware that you mom drives like shit, but you still continue to lend your car to her. Maybe if you had a shitbox beater, but in your benz? Do not lend your car to anyone, unless you are ready to deal with the consequences.


My mother does not have a car of her own. So it's... public transit.
if A is chosen, then F should be the very next step.
BAN HER FROM DRIVING YOUR CAR.

you make it sound like you're so great for buying your own car and paying your own way - its nothing special (maybe in chinese culture it is, but w/e)

she's your mother - she brought you into this world, gave up so much of her own money and freedom to raise you - you cannot do anything to her other than try to teach her to drive better

don't buy her a beater - she obviously cannot drive

make sure she leaves notes & contact info for all the cars she hits - if she hits & runs, i hope you both die very painful deaths (i hate hit & runs - total scum do this)

also - you lent her your car + have insurance for her - you are responsible for anything that happens, either out of your pocket, or through insurance

there is no debating doing anything else - if you think you can do something / ask for money - move out today & grow up - she's your mother

So when you were a kid, you never damaged your mom's house or dented something? She raised you for like 20 years with all that money, and you want her to repay for something like this? Just forgive her................ She would feel sad inside if you ask her to pay for her mistake

Thanks for the replies guys. Keep 'em coming. :)

Not sure how some of you jumped to some of your conclusions, but this has nothing to do with extorting. It has to do with my mom taking responsibility and paying for damage to stuff she broke. I didn't ask for a new set of 4 rims or a trip to Europe. And yes, my mom can afford this easily so it's not like she'll be starving for a month if she pays for repairs. It's the principle here.

Also, for the record since some of you missed it twice already, this car is 100% PAID FOR BY ME.

It's not possible to have my mother 100% not drive my car. For example, if I left town for the weekend, she'd be using it to do errands. That I don't mind as long as she doesn't damage my car.

Getting my mother a beater is basically telling her to her face "you suck at driving and are not worthy of driving a half-decent car", so I'm hesitant to do that and I want my mom to enjoy the car as much as I do.. However, I also want my mother to understand that fixing stuff is not as cheap as she thinks, and since she's not paying a penny for repairs up to now, she has no idea. She's already offered to "pay whatever amount makes me happy", so I'm trying to strike a balance between getting the damage repaired to my standards, and making sure she feels the pinch of paying for repairs.

Taylor, yes I do baby my car. :) And actually, the AMG finish does seem to be different from my 16" stockies. I can show you my stock rims (they're my winter beaters) when I stick them on in a month. Little black dots/blobs all over them that do NOT come off, which is why they became my beaters. Oh, and my mother has curbed those too. ;)



The biggest Piece of Shit on revscene, even ppl like Hyde or the fairies in the fashion thread or the douches who race and brag about it on here don't measure up to you

you're not paying rent to live there you're showing your appreciation for all that love by helping out a little bit every month.

were you actually expecting all the 12-15 year olds on here to go "YEAH DUDE STICK IT TO YOU PARENTS!! Get em back for Parenting all these years!! UR SO COOL?!!"

you guys make it seem like parents can do whatever they want to your stuff because they've raised you lovingly and you wouldn't exist without them. she's your fuking mom! think about it on the other side, if you were a dad and you kept damaging your son's car, you wouldn't own up to it??! you're gonna think, oh...i've raised my son all these years, i don't owe him nothing! wtf guys.

she's not trashing on it on purpose - she just can't drive (she is a middle aged asian woman, after all)

if she were abusing the situation - maybe then don't lend her the car, but she uses it once a month, curbed a rim once (again, due to lack of life skills, not menace)

this isn't a white trash southern US hillbilly jerry springer situation where the dad is ruining the kids car & sleeping with his girlfriend - its just an unfortunate situation

Dude man... I'm sure you have caused more trouble for your mother when you were young than her just damaging your car. Tell her it's ok and don't worry about it, and fix the wheel. Buy her a beater car and don't cheap out. She's your mother! I'm sure she tried her best to give you the best of everything, so you should at least do what you can to get her a decent car.
If you think about it, it's very inconvenient in the lower mainland to not have a car when compared to Asian countries where the necessities are just around the corner.

I still don't get the part why a beater is a bad idea. I mean, not something like a 1981 Oldsmobile beater but like a very reasonable as-seen-everywhere 1998 - 2000 ish Corolla Civic Cavalier complete with power options and A/C?

What's wrong with those? They are about 2K on the market right now.... Cheaper than your rims as a set.

The 16" stock wheels suck, the 17"s had a much smoother finish similar to the AMGs.

Paint the wheel and stop being so paranoid. Its a car, not a trophy.

He's already said he's paying rent (hint: its in the first post), please read before you make assumptions, it only makes you look like an ass.

If he's paying to rent, I don't see the problem with her paying to fix the rim. I've paid to fix my parents cars when I damaged them. I only see a problem with him being too picky about the repair.

maybe you should read my comment more thoroughly before you comment, makes you look like an idiot

maybe if i added a "really" between the 'not paying' it would allow you to understand it better, but it shouldn't be necessary.




back to the douche, it wouldn't be a problem if it was like

Douche: aw mom you smashed my rims!
mom: oh im sorry son go get them fixed mommy will pay for it

or

Douche: aw mom you smashed my rims can you help me get them fixed?
Mom: oh! im so sorry son but of course!

in the douche's case he's like "my mom smashed my fucking rims! i want her to learn a fucking lesson so she understands that this is costly!!" <<< that right there is a grade: Canada Prime prick

sleep on it. And then answer this question yourself:

Are my wheels worth the awkwardness in the remaining years of her/your life? I'm sure if you get into a pinch a need a bail out you would think twice about what you plan to do today.

Buy another set of cheaper wheels and call it a day, that is if a beater is too much money/trouble.

I understood it, I didn't try to reframe it. Rent is rent, he could choose to rent a room elsewhere.

Your comment assumes we should all repay our parents for their love, which is stupid, just like your comments.

To me a lot of the comments here seem to assume that anything done wrong as a teen was taken care of by their parents. If that's true, then yes, you should now pay for your parents mistakes as they paid for yours. My parents made me pay for my own mistakes, and I would expect them to pay for theirs.

How old are you op. why don't you move out. If i have to live with my parent. I'd rather sell my car and belonging just to move out. Are you a honger? i find it hard to believe your parent accepting your "rent". Come on his money is your money, we don't pay rent!

OPTION A. i can't believe you listed the other options. suck it up and pay for it to make up all the sweat and tears she's had to endure raising you :rolleyes:

as for your mom being a shitty driver... maybe an intervention of some sort is in order. if she's that bad then she's an accident waiting to happen and maybe shouldn't be on the road.

my mom isn't that great either. she's had more than her share of parking lot incidents also... but in my case it's her own car and she dosen't want anything to do with mine (too small).

Sorry Taylow but judging by your initial reply you didn't understand it at all so you were an idiot

and now you're making more assumptions "we should all repay our parents for their love" if you did understand that comment i just offered a different viewpoint for his idea of rent

face it you're wrong kthxbye


edit: also you're refusing to see OP comments of wanting his mom to learn a lesson, that's fucked up, that goes into the realms of maliciousness so either you're a douche too so you can't see that, or juding by you're previous replies you're just an idiot since you can't comprehend the meanings from others replies and just add your own results.

Rims are the last thing on your mum's mind, so she probably does not see the importance of this event as much as you do.

And to "teach" her a lesson is futile, you can't make Asian women care more about LV and Gucci. :haha:

Next time paint the rims Gucci or something and maybe she'll respect them a little more. Otherwise, a wheel is a wheel is an object that usually comes in a set of 4 for a car roll on - I'm sure 99% of the female population thinks that way.

So a bit of a tangent here: If you think your rims can attract pussy, you are wrong.

A different viewpoint yes, and a wrong viewpoint. Your opinion isn't valid if you have to bend the truth to make it.

You obviously haven't understood a single one of my posts. I'll make it more clear for you since your reading comprehension is lacking.

I agree with teaching his mom a lesson, IF his parents taught him the same lesson. My parents made me pay for all damage I did to their car. I would expect them to do the same, otherwise they are hypocrites for teaching one thing, yet doing another.

His car is a trophy, look at how many times he references how he paid for it. Its probably the first car he's owned, and he's over-protective of it.

I was the same way the first few years I owned my car, now its just a car.
