Can't get the truth out...
I wrecked my dad's car this morning, and he's out of town until tomorrow morning. I haven't got the guts to call him and tell him about it, cause there's a huge dent in it and the garage door is messed up. I also pulled the bike racks off the walls. I know that I'll be in big trouble if I wait til he finds out, but I really don't know what to tell him on the phone. I feel so bad. HELP ME!

Ok, I've kinda been where you are. Number one, I do hope you don't have your license, or any driver's ed, cause let's face it, it makes it look alot better if you can claim that you didnt know what you were doing. Number two, you have to realize that accidents happen, your dad will know this too. I guarantee your dad hasnt always been an all star driver. He probably has a few stories of his own, every driver does. When I was 16, I was driving back to work after going to Jack in the Box on my break. Um, yeah, I kinda hit the accelorator instead of the break, and drive through like one panel of a store front window. Nothing major, no one was in the store. Cops showed up, I cried alot, got off on the ticket (score!), and my mom still loves to flaunt that story around to my girlfriends. Then I remind her how she got in like three accidents in a month, the same year, like a month or two earlier. Yeah, she quiets up real fast. Just be honest, cry, acknowledge it was an accident, but the big thing is, call him ASAP!! Waiting only makes it worse. I know that one all too well. Be ready, you most likely will be searching for a job for the school year. If you can avoid it, dont work at a grocery store. Not the best work or pay in the world! Good luck.
Best Wishes, Jordan

The best thing to do would be to call him and tell him....because him pulling up later and seeing what happened would piss him off evenmore then it would if you called him and told him!!

Believe me you will get off a lot lighter if you fess up beforehand. Don't make up a story either just come right out with the truth. I speak as a parent who has had this happen to her car. Tell him now so he has time to settle down before he gets home. Hopefully you don't get in to much trouble because you were honest about it. Accidents do happen :)

I think that you should truely call your dad ASAP and tell him the whole story. Don't try to hide anything or make yourself look like the victom. Tell him that your really sorry and offer to help work to pay for the damage. He'll see your honesty and he'll probably be a little frustrated, but if you wait til tomorrow he'll be pissed. He'll also see that you cared enough and had the guts to call him, so that will probably make him feel a little better too. Tell me how it all goes.

Eeeek, "Dad listen dont get mad or anything but (( Start Crying)):) I accidently dented your car and damaged the garage door ILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING Im so so sorry!!!!!!!!!" ( Cry ) this will make them feel bad but prepare for some fireworks!

I'd call him and tell him, because he does need to know about this. The sooner the better. And since you're doing this over the phone and he's only coming back tomorrow morning, he'll have time to cool off and think about it. You're his daughter/son and no matter how much damage you did, he'll still love you.

i would really suggest telling his because the sooner the better. if you call him, you won't have to tell him in person! also, he'll have time to relax when you do actually see him!
good luck man- :)

Call him and tell him!
It will help you avoid some of the worst of his anger cause he'll have some time to simmer down.
Its good you feel bad, but you gotta understand he is going to be mad, really mad, mad because it costs him money and mad because his kid did something stupid.
You have alot of groveling and apologizing to do. So get a head start on it and call him.
Good luck!
