Sorry about your car dude. Out of all the "fast" cars I've owned, 3 people have ever driven any of them, and one was my father, and one was the guy who's purchasing my FD.
That sux. I only let my dad drive mine.. and thats because I know how he drives.. plus he could buy it if he broke it :P
Hopefully your friend will step up and pay for damages.

Its in the shop as we speek, hes paying for everytthing and didnt have a problme with it, of course....
he is a very accomplished driver, hes only 20, im 27, but he works in the car industry and drives a 500whp silvia...rides tons of street bikes ( 2005 gixxer1000 and a few 600's)
he was going fast, but i think it was just dumb luck, hit a weird crest in the road wich threw it up in the air a tiny bit and came down in a weird spot, its a road where numerous people fly on, way out in the copuntry, no cars, just open back roads, no trees, just a feild, if they didnt plow the feild earlier that week, and it hadnt been so hott out it woudl have just spun in the dirt......
also i told him he could "test it out" a bit.....
my car does make 400+ whp so i guess its my fault for letting him drive it....

I got an idea (this is what I would do.
) Since the car didnt kill him you should.
Who cares if your buddies in the car industry and owns different bikes. Driving skills take time to learn and react to situations like this. He obviousely doesn't have enough experience being 20 years old. I've crashed several crotch rockets/cars/drag cars when I was younger. If I own a 400+awhp Evo, no 20 year would be able to touch it. It's nice your friend is paying for everything. Good luck!

Your "accomplished driver" of a friend needs to add this to the list of his "accomplishments." Somehow I'm not convinced that he's a good driver just be seeing that he drives a 500hp silvia. At 20, how long has he been driving, 4 years? It's good that no one was hurt.
