have a little accident or a knock in the car and go

I worte my car off

when NO you didnt you had a small prang , why do people have to exagerate accidents , yeah the cars totalled, wont be coming back when its bull shit

is it meant to sound better or soften the blow?

theres people that do write them off and accept it , then theres people that hit there bumper , or smash a tail light and say the cars a write off

if you want to say you wrote a car off do it proper do it like cheesy , he knows where its at , Mwah jace

I spun mine clipped a curb launched the car and went side ways down a bank and ended up in a hedge on two wheels.

sold my 205 diesel to my boss, he gave it to his son, who then crashed head on into an impreza, both doing about 40mph, and is now in a coma. i THINK it was a right-off...
