No Kidding!

He thrashed the car and he and his friend left it abandoned on a street somewhere with a broken alloy wheel and oil drained from the engine. He's had other cars which he treated in the same manner. There's been so many I've lost count.

I had hoped that getting him involved with my crowd of people interested in nice cars, making money and being productive and living a happy life. Instead he was more interested in alcohol, drugs (doing and selling), skateboarding and coasting through life doing as little as possible.

He still lives in my parent's basement with no job or GF. I don't care to talk to him anymore. Just a series of disappointments, one after the other.

true story





Wow...

Just...

Wow!

I'm my dad's mechanic and I get miffed when he purchases a car without consulting me.
