Solution
Yes, you can sue them to the federal court given that they have caused damage by sideswiping the car. The motive of going to Indiana University is of no consequence as long as its within the locality provided by the federal court.
This damage is very big and the fact that you were showing off does not mean that any one has a right to damage your property in the way.
