yeah, well the life lesson always seems to be on the parents. Now we become a ****ing taxi service for him to have a job.

Bus or bike.

Those are all walk in prices. Not wholesale cost. Not sure what the shop's markup percentage is.
And there may be other ruined parts.

Oh and most CV shafts are under 100

busses don't go after 10pm. he works at a pizza place that closes well after that.

I'm just pissed because I'm going get bent over on this shit. I'm tired of getting bent over.

Not sure what his career plans are but guess he'll have to get different job to coincide with public transport. Or as I said, $200 a month back to you each month on a loan.

****, leave it up to him to figure it out. You bail him out on this one you'll be bailing him out his entire life. That's what a certain someone that I'm married to can't seem to figure out either.

Quit enabling it.

Uber? :shrug:

These. Love ya bro. I know you care. We all do. It's time for him to learn.

The problem is we would have no choice but to scrap the car because we have no place to put it that the police woulnd't have a problem with.

You are gonna have to fix the car.


It sucks but lots of shit sucks. Make it drivable and severely restrict the amount of driving he does in your car. It isn't his car until it's paid for in full, at that point he is free to do as he wishes or however you have his free time restricted previously.


He will save more money and can pay off the repairs and the car faster.

Get the car fixed and sell it. Use the money to buy your son this.

I dunno man, I guess you sealed your fate when you loaned him money for a car that wasn't going to be fully insured. That was a huge risk and you're getting burned by it now. You just have to ask yourself how deep you're willing to get with this...if you loan him the money to fix it, then he's into you for a $7k for a car that's worth only half that. And what if something else happens 6 months from now?

1. Direct your son to youtube.
2. Rent/buy some tools.
3. Make him learn to fix it himself.
4. ????????
5. Profit

Hope it works out for you Guru. Lots of interesting things in this thread.
