Just a thought.


Well, for one thing it was several years ago, so I guess I had a little less sense than I do now. And one of the times he got pulled over I was asleep and didn't know how fast he was going. I don't know if it was as a direct result, but I had to replace the oxygen sensors in this car right after he drove it. I haven't let him drive my car since.

btw, he never paid the tickets and ended up getting arrested and spending two days in jail the next time he was pulled over.

He didn't pay the tix. Suprise, suprise.

Glad you are OK. I doubt you would let that happen again.

yeah, live and learn. And the oxygen sensors ended up costing around $2k I believe and my car ran like crap until I replaced them. I never had proof that his driving my car so fast was what caused them to go bad, but it was certainly suspicious that it started to happen on this trip. And one of the cops who pulled him over said smoke was coming out of the back of my car. So I ended up paying the $2k for the oxygen sensors but he spent 2 days in jail and his court costs were about the same.

Now he rides a bike. He's been hit on his bike at least 5 times. The first couple times I felt sorry for him, but then I saw how he rides his bike, which is downright scary.
