At least he didn't say:
"Freedom's just another word for nothin left to lose."
But, from what he did say, I'll bet you are FINALLY thinking maybe he
"gets it" after all, "gets it" meaning understands life and also
inherits the car.
My teenage son, having a license for about a month, blew the head
gaskets on both my truck and my wife's daily driver Cherokee. So, he
gets to drive the air cooled VW Beetle and we are getting grease under
our fingernails daily playing with it.
I had to laugh at him when we re-located the fuel filter from directly
above the distibutor (bad) to near the transaxle to lessen the threat
of fire. He just recently started driving it and subsequently using
his own money for gas, instead of our gas cards. When we pulled the
filter and cut the line and gas started dripping he kept saying
"Hurry, lets hurry, gas is leaking out." We lost maybe 1/2 a cup of
gas on the driveway. But, since he paid for that gas he understood
that it was costing him by the second. He also lamented "I just put
$16 in yesterday and it is back down to 1/4 tank." To which I
reminded him all the places he drove.
Cheers,
Derf
