id kill him. a new engine will cost more then 500 to replace. id make them pay up and buy you a new crate motor from ford racing.
oh yeah and call the cops for what he did. even though he had the keys. he took the car without your permission. of course. maybe your dad is the one that messed it up

most likely overheating.. yeah, not turning on the electric water pump on a h/c/i car will do that.

as poopdawg said. i already had twisted wedge heads, and had them reworked.. cnc ported/polished. milled to up compression from the polishing. about $2,500 in the f%&@ers
but i wouldnt be suprprised if they are warped to hell and back now.
this is how they USE to look.
BUT apparently. my dad talked to one of my brothers friends. who said he wants to come and talk to him in person this weekend about what happened.. so, i might finally get some answers.
Also, ive had a vegas trip planned for months. Im finishing packing today, and fly out tomorrow(tuesday) morning at 5am.
I gave my motorcycle to a friend to keep until i return. all my spare keys are at somebody elses house now, and ive bought a real lock and key for my room door.
And im planning on going and signing papers to get my own apartment the day i get back in town.
My job doesnt start until mid October. so its going to be rough to get to that.
but beats this garbage.
Ill try and update when i return. Should be on monday
well at least someone seems to have a heart. i would have told ur rents to call the cops, and you would meet the cops at your house with your parents and file a report against your brother right in front of them. That is crayz. your parents should not be helping one kid over the other. i am glad to see your managing yourself in a seemingly classy way. You are just making yourself look that much better than everyone else in the situation. Heck, maybe thats why this person is coming foward to help you out.

and i hated him before this.
and had a loaded weapon in my posession, two at that time.
hopefully my motor gets replaced.
either way. i got screwed, becuase my job opens october. and i doubt the car will be back up and 100% before then.
looks like its daily motorcycle rides to work
save on gas at least
as much as I hate to say this, if you want to keep relations with your family, you may have to bite the bullit on this one. Learn from your mistakes, and know how to keep your car secure.
My brother in law backed into our car, causing damage to both doors on a brand new turbo jetta. He wanted to pay cash to avoid insurance. A while later, when I was ready, and hit him up, he told me to call his insurance, he wasn't giving me a dime. F-that, I was already trading it in that day. He screwed me for $1200, which I took a direct hit for. He's a cheap ass, the ENTIRE family knows what's really up, I took the hit and moved on in the name of family relations. Know who you can trust, learn from your mistakes, and protect your ass. I learned my mistake about who to trust, and it will never happen again.

I don't post here often but I thought I'd log in to share in your pain.
My brother pulled a similar stunt with my Camaro. (This was in '97 or '98 so it was the first car I ever made payments on.) I let him (my fault, right there) borrow the car so he could take his girlfriend home. Well, since he thought I was sleeping he went joy riding.
He lost control of the car and took it off the road backwards. He did $8000 in body damage to the car.
He called me and told me where both he and the car were located. My mother gave me a ride over (since I didn't have a friggin' car) and I was INSTANTLY furious. He had a tree punch a hole in the hood, blew out the front and side windows, etc... There wasn't a body panel that was untouched.
My mother, being the awesome parent she isn't, told him to get in the car and drove away.
That's right, my mother and brother abandoned the scene of the accident and left ME there to wait for the police.
Awesome.
I never saw a dime. I paid the deductible, the insurance hike, everything...
So, long story short, I feel for you man.
Good luck,
Alan
I'd move out man. You don't need that crap. F'n blood isn't always thicker than water. Dude my mom screwed me and my sister over and kept $75,000 cash a piece that my dad told my mom to leave for me and my sister.
Now? F her. I don't need her. I don't need the money but that's not the POINT. Now my wife's looking at bankruptcy, and we'll need all the help we can get. Sure that would have helped, but I'd rather slit my wrist than accept anything including a smile from her.
I'd moved out a year prior to that. I got so sick of BS from my mother. Got a student loan and recieved $5,000 a semester (classes were 2500 a semester) plus a part time job. I lived off of that until I graduated 1 year later. Thank god for student loans even though I owe $16,000 now, it's only $113 a month for 15 years

+1 for covering yourself. I'm probably an extreme case of it. I dont let anyone have my keys, drive my truck (other than the wifey),wallet, stay in my house when I am not there, anything. I know it may sound selfish or whatever but #1, I am keeping myself as safe as possible from getting screwed and #2, keeping everyone else's skulls from getting cracked for screwing my stuff up.
