Yeah Justin...one other thought, we have a couple of rent a wreck companies here in town...you can rent a car for a day for like $15 bucks, even a one day rental for a little car from some of the rental companies wouldn't be more than $50 I don't think.

He knows I don't drive my TL much during the week, especially in the winter. I said I didn't feel comfortable doing it, that I insure the car and if damaged I would be responsible for the damage and repairs because he doesn't have the extra cash to even pay my $1000 deductible if he is in an accident. We are still neighbors but apparently we're not friendly any longer because he won't even wave when he sees me now. Long story, but this guy works for a worldwide Christian organization that is based here. He and his family send out requests about every 6 months asking for personal donations to his family so they can continue to spread the "word". But then he and his son go on golf trips to Arizona a couple times a winter. I think it is very presumptuous of him to think that I would "donate" my car when they do shit like that. Like Jeremy said, my true friends would never ask to borrow my car but I would lend it to them in a heartbeat if they needed it.
Wow, what an @$$clown. Entitled @$$clown.


Again, these "friends" who would just waltz up to you thinking they can get a handout...retarded. And immediately, I know are not "friend" material. Or a true man. Men will figure it out on their own...a true friend will notice that there is someone in need as the individual is trying to get out of his situation and then, offer to help.

But, again, a true friend (and a man) will usually wave it off and be subjected to having the help "forced" on him by HIS true friend. This is how it works.

Exactly how I feel about it...oh yeah, that was 6 months ago and the Odyssey is still not fixed, but they did manage a golf trip in that time.

Why not just buy your own wheel? Surely craigslist will yield something usable for dirt cheap...

I don't even like that the guy had the audacity to ask you, Gary...like, why put you in an uncomfortable position of having to politely decline if he wasn't ready for any other answer than yes? People are incredible...good, don't wave back then...and also, now you know...don't fkn ask me for something I wouldn't ask you for.
