Got my MINI back now it's gone

Okay I had a post about some idiot 14 yr old and us wrecking into each other and that his dad would pay for the damages which he did and it was roughly around $3800. I got my car back yesterday (friday) I decided while it was getting fixed to have a roof rack installed with the surf board mount, went surfing today everything went great excpet, ugh my girlfriend got burnt by the exhaust, I got a speeding ticket on the way home, and when I got home my parents were so enthusiastic about my $500 cell phone bill . Now I have a court date this wednesday for not having no front license plate, and now for a speeding ticket so my Mini cooper is parked for the rest of the year.

What do I do???

A spanking might help fix the problem.

Own up, take responsibility, and stop racking up the bill on the cell phone. $500? wtf, are you calling Guam every day?

Apply first aid to GF burn.

Contact your dealer about long term storage procedures.

Get a trickle charger.

Make sure your earning the $$$ to pay for your descions.

Learn your lesson.

At least you'll be able to put the 10 speed on the roof rack in the spring.

For the exhaust; MINI has a free modification available to reduce the chance of getting burned by the R56 Cooper 'S' Exhaust Pipes.

You should have received a recall notice, but just ask your dealer to take care of it after you re-gain use of your car.

Act responsibly and your life will be happier!

First, suck it up, don't feel sorry for yourself, and realize you are far more priviledged than 98% of the population on this planet.

Then, stop speeding on public roads, slap a front licence plate on, and pay your fine and cell phone bill/work out a way to pay your parents back for your fine and cell phone bill.

$500 on your phone? Switch plans! Even in Canada (who, in terms of cell phone service, is still in the stone age), $150-200/month will get you unlimited everything (including continent-wide calling, and 6Gb data, which is not unlimited, but close). Why do you need to use your cell so much anyways?

Finally, stop using double negatives: "not having no front licence plate"?
