You are not willing to work 2 jobs, you make little money as a bus boy.

Your mom agrees to give you a 2K$ car.  IF you go to her mechanic and get it looked at first.

You lie and say you did, but did not because that would have delayed the process and well that is not acceptable.

"I wanted it and did not want to wait, what was I supposed to do?"   SERIOUSLY 

Then takes it out on the interstate runs it up to 90MPH and drops gears.  9k RPM on an 250k engine that has sit for a year.

"Because I wanted to see how it ran"

Now it wont start. 

I'm not allowed to say anything because, well we feel bad.

 

Spontaneous Buzzard Combustion is a real thing amigos.

 

This will never stop.  It is like groundhog day.

Lol, I feel for you man. Sheesh.

Vibes bro, I had a friend like that, always asking advice and never taking it and wondering why his life was a wreck

[ER Pemberton]

Sorry Buzz. You'll have a lot of stories for the Buzzaroo Fest in May.

[Hines]

maybe he can start selling tickets to beat the car with a sledge hammer, or fill it full of american lead--the american way!  PEW PEW!.   Could recoup a hundred bucks.

I see a bus pass in someone's future

[Buzz Buzzard]

Oh no. It is way to inconvenient to use the bus.
I have hit my limit with this kid and his attitude behind the wheel.

[the_stain]

guess he'll be saving up his busboy money for a mechanic then.

[Buzz Buzzard]

Its likely not that bad broken.
Its mostly lying to his mom, about getting it checked out.
At this point I am glad that it won't start.
If there is no lesson learned here by those two, I surely have at least.

Did it run all the way home or die on the spot?
What kind of car?

[Buzz Buzzard]

96 integra.
I think the alternator is shot.
I put a charge on the battery and it started fine, then in a few minutes stumbled and died, dead battery again.
It is brand new

Is this the kid with the legal issues?

[Buzz Buzzard]

Yep

[Buzz Buzzard]

The car was sitting in my driveway this morning. No keys.
I get a call asking if I had them. No why would I? Not in car either.
Around lunch a guy shows up with a tow truck, says he was promised I had the keys.
This kid lives in a world of his own bs.
Fecking dumbshit I don't need while trying to work.
I told him about a job 6 blocks from his house, yeah I really don't want to work any more hours than I am right now.
Feck him.

All those who wander are not lost

while true they can still leave a nice wake of destruction along their wandering path

Yeah, but the can sure feck up a marriage

[MoreAmmoPlz]

Yeah, but the can sure feck up a marriage

 

And blood pressure.

 

I think I would have had a grabber by now. 

[weep er]

Feck him.

There it is. That’s all you need to remind yourself of.

You love your wife and she loves him... don’t let him come between you and your wife.

No matter how difficult it may be, stay out of all of it. Starting now. Tell your wife not to ask you or tell you anything about this guy’s problems anymore unless she intends on letting you handle it 100%.

He’s self destructing. Don’t let him take you down with him

Out of all of these people you love, YOU still have to come first.
