but the kei-car is a write-off!!

Is it a harsher penalty if someone uses a real car, or a 2 tonne truck? Will his penalty be lighter because of the kei car? Why isn't the make and model reported? It is important.

Case solved. You have a new home in kenmusho and there is no return while your father is alive.

What impact on the crime do you think it would have? is any specific model of a light car more lethal or something?

Let me guess.
He told you to get off your duff and get a job? Pay some bills?
The nerve of your father, teaching you some common sense!
