Well, I'm sure your dad is a typical Porsche owner (fanatic) so just stand up straight, look him in the eye and tell him you really, really screwed up and smashed his car. He'll bolt out of the room, scream when he sees it, jump around like a centipede on a hot rock while he screams at you, then start sobbing. Hey -- it's bad but you know you were an idiot and he probably loves you and most likely (after a few hours) he will love you again. Just be a man about it and take your medicine - it will be over much faster and your honesty will take a lot of the wind out of his sails.
PS -- have you made out a will?

Tell him the truth calmly. Tell him that you are sorry and that you will accept your punishment without complaint. Accidents happen and you can't do anything except own up to your mistake. I'm sure your father will be upset but it will pass.

as an insurance agent i can honestly tell you it's not that big of a deal. take the car in for an estimate, if it's not that much offer to pay out of pocket for the damage. if it's a whole pile of cash offer to pay the deductible. it's only a car and in 2 weeks it will look brand new again. he will probably be mad but he'll get over it.

We all make dumb mistakes. The important thing is that you stand up and take responsibility. Explain, apologize and ask how you can make things right. Your dad is going to be pissed but when he calms down he'll be impressed with how you handled the situation. If you're mature enough to drive, you need to be mature enough to face the music. Just remember: 1) your dad will still love you and 2) it's against the law to actually kill your kids. Good luck.

First you got to relax. Next, you can only prepare to apologize. Yeah, he's going to be seriously angry with you. Just breathe deeply and tell him how sincerely sorry you are about it and that you will never do it again. Honesty is better appreciated than trying to cover it up. Sorry it happened. Just brace yourself, it'll be over. The worst thing maybe you get some privileges taken away, but just remind yourself there are worse things to fear in life (that usually always calmed me down before my dad who is very very scary when he yells was about to scream at me for something).

It is just a car. In can be fixed. It is not like you hurt someone. Yes, he will be angry but in a week, he'll be over it. And he will make you go through the work to get it fixed.

Just tell him the truth...If this is the worst thing that ever happens to you, you will be lucky. Brake, not break

Hopefully your dad will be understanding. It's just a car, granted it is a porshce, but it can be fixed.

I'm sure he will be upset and say things but this is just mad words and don't take it personally. Don't try to hide it and just be honest.

Are you old enough to drive then own up to it do not let him find out on his own.


sloopy
As soon as he arrives, ask him to sit down and then tell him what happened.
Truth is the best way to handle the situation. Tell him you're very sorry.
If he's any kind of a man, he'll accept it and move on.
If he's not, then I'd scrape up every dime I could and take the first BUS OUT OF TOWN!

Well today somebody hit and ran on my car so I'm really upset and sad.

yeah park it down the street somewhere, throw the keys in the river and also take some stuff out of it and throw it in a nearby dumpster. Tell hem someone stole it. Remove all traces of paint from the wall you smashed into.

Ok, most of the answers here are bogus. I had the same situation. My mom bought a brand new truck and 6 weeks after she bought it I accident side swiped a pole and messed up the whole side of the truck. She was pretty angry. But speaking from my own experience, just take responsibility for your actions. Explain to your dad what had happened. Also, if your dad is still not home go ahead and take the car in for some estimates. This will show him that you are responsible and you know you damaged the car. They are called accidents for a reason!! Then set up a payment plan with your dad to get the vehicle repaired. Don't lie about the situation, it'll only make matters worse when he finds out. You can always report it to your insurance agency but that will result in a negligent accident and higher premiums for the next 3 years. Good luck. I've been there but I got through it

Well..there is not much you can do at this point, just be calm, tell him what happened, be honest and offer to help pay for repairs. How experienced of a driver are you to lose the spot of a break pedal??

I would suggest not to ever drive that car again..and practice, practice and practice your driving skills with an older car.

park it some where with the keys in it and hope it gets stolen
