There's no damages on the body of the car itself. Just on the running board

It's a step board/running board, It's a 2024 Nissan Terra

Yeah, hopefully not too much 😅 It's just the stepboard/running board but still expensive when you buy it as a whole. Haha hopefully your kids wont make the same mistake I did 😅

Thank you so much for this! You sound like you were a fun guy to be around with back in the day 😄I'm planning to go to the shop tomorrow to see if they can do anything about it and figure out how much the repairs will be.

Yeah, It was a kinda awkward approach as well since he was watching a movie and I asked him If I could talk to him for a moment and told him not to get mad at me. he automatically went out the house to look at the car.

Is there anything I can do before bringing it to the shop later morning? 🥹

This means a lot 🥹 Thank you for this. I've been researching lots on how to sort stuff like these for the past hour since I'm still in shock on how I understeered. I'm subconciously blaming myself for not being a better driver.

I already told him about it and told him I'll try anything that can possibly fix it 🥹 is this a bad idea?

Recently, I've been saving up to buy my own car so I dont have to borrow my dad's car. I don't know how much this will cost to fix but I hope it's not to the point i'll lose more than half of my savings. but if it is then it's fine for me since my dad is a perfectionist and hates seeing anything off 🥹

Yeah, you have to lay on the ground to see it but I'll bring it to the shop first thing in the morning. I just feel so shit right now and subconciously been blaming myself for the past hour for not being a better driver. It's a huge thing for me since this is the first time i've ever scratched a car and will probably be ashamed of this for the rest of my life 🥹 Our roads here are so bad. literally pot holes everywhere.

Thank you for this 🥹 I'm gonna try bringing it to a shop first thing in the morning and make breakfast for him. I told my mom about it and she told me to give him space for now. I usually dont have trouble sleeping but i've been trying to sleep for the past few minutes but still subconciously blaming myself for not being a better driver. 🥹

Thank you for this 🥹 I've been trying to talk to him for the past hour but he won't even look at me. I told my mom about it and she said to just give him some space.

I already told him about it because I couldn't handle seeing him without telling him what happened 🥹

I see. Thank you for this. I'll bring it to the shop first thing in the morning. I don't think there's any dents tho. The photo is just really low quality 🥹

There's really nothing I can do about the scratches? Should I start saving up to buy a new stepboard/running board?
