Maybe, I can't remember. It's been too long.
The kid has been doing the sound board for the school musical and they are in rehersal so he's had real long days. Anyway, he leaves the lights on in his bug and drains the battery. So, mom and dad are going to bail him out and head up to the school to bail him out. I jump it and we leave my Subi. There's not much gas but, I can't shut the thing off so we make a dash for home. Guess who had a long walk? Would it have been so hard to say we'll need gas? I could have brought a gas can full. Anyway, then it's bring back the gas can, jump the POS and bring it home. Oh ya, the charger wouldn't charge it so, mom says why don't you get the kid a new battery? Why can't he walk for a while until he can buy a new battery? Let's see I seem to remember calling my dad at midnight one night cause the car couldn't go. When the tow truck driver came he found a broken U-joint and said I'm going to tell your old man what you were doing. Dad never said a word. What do you think should I bust his balls or just get a new battery? |

What? VW bugs were fine when you learned!
I was one of those kids who never asked his parents for help. In fact, I haven't talked to my mom in more than a year. Cut the kid some slack. What do you mean "...That stupid..." ? Every idiot kid does something dumb with their car. You can count your lucky stars that this was it. When I f#$% something up, usually there's fire. And likewise, I don't keep an extinguisher in my car. Why, I just remember driving my 356 for a test run (when I was 17) and having to spend a dollar in quarters for the car wash to extinguish my engine bay. And then have to push the thing back home late at night, by hand, by myself. Lucky it was oppressively warm that night... Bah. Humbug! |
