I think most of you feel the same about your car So I know it's just not me...anyways Lesson learned... never let them use your car. On a plus side the wife gave me an okay to add new wheels to the mods-list

2 part teachable moment that will apply for the rest of his life.

1. Cameras are ubiquitous, and will be omnipresent for your son's generation. Tell your son to always take pictures or video prior to driving anothers' car---be it Dad's or a rental.

2. Take pictures or video when returning said car.

3. If the damage is not in #1, but clearly in #2, be a man and fess up---if there were any egregious violation here, it wasn't the damage, it was being a pussy about what he has done.

4. Since you didn't really teach him anything, I would give him another chance after explaining all of this.

5. If kid fesses up, the trouble he gets in should be far less than what you have now.
