Wait until they break out the airless paint sprayers.
It can get worse. Lol

Send the bill to the neighbor.

You'd be surprised, they are insured for that kind of thing.

Oh IDK, if someone came to me with hard proof my workers' negligence ****kkked up their car... I'd pay for it. Insurance would cover it likely, assuming the company took no responsibility.

I would not let this one slide. That's straight up negligence..

0-200mph in 7.5 seconds somehow......I'm very excited for next year! I won't be doing anything other than a stock engine since it's proven good for anything 2000hp or less and I want 1250 or so.

I think what you're looking for at this point is EM catapults.

You’d be amazed. I deal with this a lot since I deal with properties being constructed within existing neighborhoods, builders will do a LOT to keep the neighbors on their good side. I bet if he called the developer and showed them what happened they would absolutely cover the removal of the fallout.

Car chase scenes in movies may be entertaining (to some people)...but, with all due respect, I'm not one of them. Also, in real life, they put a lot of lives, vehicles, and property at risk. We've had our share of them on the roads here in the D.C. area.....and still continue to have them. One guy even had the gumption to steal a police cruiser. Another took an ambulance from a local hospital.
