If your brother hit the curb while parking, you should get your alignment checked out, too!

That's a good idea. Along with not letting other folks pilot this craft without you in the passenger seat.

I'd make the girlfriend's son pay for that door panel, not the dealership. That's BS imo. Why should the dealership pay for your GF's son's FUp?

I'm pretty sure that would not want to be a woman who has not taught her son to respect others and their property. I'd get rid of both.............

You need to take lessons in Corvette ownership from Mike.

Sorry to hear of the damage to your car, especially so soon after getting it, but it is only a car. Enjoy it!

I know it's a special car, but I let my brother and a few select friends borrow it all the time, NBD. But there is the caveat of it being filled with gas and washed upon return anytime they use it ...

Ive had this rule for years, with many pleasure rides, I don't let anyone drive, sorry no exceptions. The op's story sums it up.

Good Luck on the repairs!
