Well I was in the local mitsu dealer today picking up some parts and decided to test drive a 4G eclipse. Well my face is pretty well known there and I am cool with almost everyone and they were REALLY busy so the saleman told me just to take it for a short spin. Well that was about 15 min. ago and while on the test drive it got away from me in 3rd gear and I slid and hit a tree stump and I think I ####ed it up pretty bad. The bumper is all caved in, the head light has a hole through it and its leaking power stearing fluid like a bi*** and the pump is howling. Its parked in my garage right now and there was kind of a burning smell coving from something, but I can't pop the hood, its stuck

Right before I took off the salesman told me to be carefull and hes not supposed to be doing this, which leads me to believe I might not be covered under their insurance, and I dont have ANY insurance because my only car isn't running so I didn't renew the policy. I would imagine I have about 20 min before they start wondering where their car is. What are my options??? There is no way I can afford to buy this car, nor would I want to, its a wrecked piece of shit. I dont have insurance and I am pretty sure I'm not going to be covered on theres because of the circumstances. I'm pretty ####ing scared right now and I am still amping from the crash. I live about 5 miles away from the bad part of town, I thought about ditching it there and saying I was car jacked, but I think there are worse repercussions if I was caught. What do you guys think will happen if I just call them an told them there car is ####ing smashed and to come pick it up?

This has to be a joke, or else you are f#cked. Take it back and don't lie, else you will dig yourself deeper. It's the dealership's responsibility to check you out, if they let you drive they should be covered.

Wow.

Don't be an idiot.

Thats what I'd do. Personally it's your best option.

Ok, I just pryed the hood open and put some radiator stop leak in the pump. Bad part is I only had a tiny bit of power steering fluid left, but 5-30 had about the same consistantcy so I fill it up with that. It's idleing in my driveway, I'm going to give it a couple minutes to see if it holds and I am going to take it back.
