Is not easliy amused.
We had a bbq yesterday and some relatives we haven't met too much were over. The one has a son that's 18 and supposedly "has ridden 4 wheelers millions of times." Well, for someone that's ridden them so much he managed to plow a tree with the right front of it. Then pulls it in the garage so no one can really see it, and tells us that he bumped a tree but only bent the aftermarket grill/headlight guard we have on it.
Then, he acted as if he didn't care and enjoyed the rest of his day. Meanwhile my stepfather, my mother, and myself all wanted to kill the little ????. He showed no concern what so ever for what he just did. This just proves to me more and more that I'm not a dick for not wanting to know them.
So instead of my mother saying something about it to the kids mother...she let it go and took it out on my step father when they left. :nonono:
Well, after they left I pulled it out and looked at it. :blackeye:
I'm 100% sure the frame is bent. The right front wheelbase is 2" shorter than the left side wheel base. The stock bumper, aftermarket grill/headlight guard, front rack, front right wheel flare, right front wheel, and all the components of the front right steering/suspension are completely bent and ruined. I have pictures of it taken apart and I found the tree he hit. To do what he did he had to be doing 25-30 mph on it. It's a beefy 4 wheeler and isn't made like crap.
The $7000 machine is pretty much garbage now.
Edit:
I looked up the prices for parts a few minutes ago. Cosmetically, there's almost $400 in damage. Adding in the frame, and the components for the suspension and steering...as well as a wheel...it's over $1800 in repairs to do it the right way.
