<div>Just so everyone knows. I do buy lottery tickets and that “force”

<div>I know I was at fault for not protecting the guy from his own stupidity on
how to operate a motor vehicle safely and with common sense.</div>
<div>And the zombie hordes may overrun us all in our sleep and I’ll be to blame
for that too, I’m sure.</div>
<div>Yes, I dropped the tags and insurance, but that didn’t mean I was
unprotected. They’re called “dealer tags’’ and they have to be covered by a
policy.</div>
<div>But that policy is for accidents, not the fickleness of the fates.</div>
<div>Could have been a lot worse. He might have bought it, then it blows. I’d be

<div dir="ltr">Think of it as how very lucky you are! A vehicle you own and loaned
that is neither licensed or insured driven by someone you don't know? Can you
imagine if he caused or was involved in a serious or deadly accident?
Particularly if the injured parties claimed it was the operational condition of
the vehicle that caused or contributed to the accident.

<div>
<div>Ok, here’s my tell of woe.</div>
<div>Dude, shows up at my shop and wants to know if one of my Go-4’s is for
sale.</div>
<div>Seen running ‘round town in them.</div>
<div>I think a moment and say “Yea, I’ll part with the 2004.”</div>
<div>Now, note that I have owned and been driving this thing for over 2
years. </div>
<div>Up till about 6 months ago, while I did some R&R on my 96, it had
been pretty much a parts runner.</div>
<div>So when the 96 was finished I parked the 04, pulled the tags and
dropped the insurance. No big deal.</div>
<div>Now the the rest of the story.</div>
<div>Dude says “Can I take for a test drive?”</div>
<div>Sure, go ahead, keys in it. (his rides sitting on the drive so he’ll be
back).</div>
<div>Well, he was gone for about 30 mins, but then he shows back up, ON FOOT
! </div>
<div>What the &%”# !! Where’s my scoot?</div>
<div>Turns out, it’s at the end of my driveway. Smoking and erupting
whatever fluids it has left.</div>
<div>Seems it started making a “funny” noise, but he kept going till the
“odd” smell started.</div>
<div>He then stops, and looks under it, at what he thinks was oil or
antifreeze running from under it. At this point he’s, and I quote: “I never
did go over 40.”</div>
<div>Now this “car guy” (his words, not mine) decides to drive it back to my
shop, but it died on him at the driveway. </div>
<div>Suddenly as I start down the drive he hands me the keys, gets in his
car and hauls butt.</div>
<div>I stand there for second not really understanding what just
happened. And to make matters worse, I’ve got no clue who the heck he
was.</div>
<div>So, I go down the driveway and lo’ and behold it’s sitting there
with the tranny still in “L”! Guess he didn’t get it over 40,
huh.</div>
<div>Pop the hood. No screw top on the water res and antifreeze steaming
everywhere. Do you think it got warm?</div>
<div>But that’s OK cause it’s mixin just fine with the smell/smoke of HOT
motor oil. Well, it did leak have some oil left, just not in the
engine.</div>
<div>Pulled (dragged) it to the pad out side the shop doors and there she
sits.</div>
<div>I’ll work up the courage to take a good look tomorrow.</div>
<div>Probably not the dudes fault. Like your buds stuff/mower that doesn’t
break till you borrow it, ya know.</div>
<div>Maybe I’ll fix it or part it out.</div>
<div>Thought you folk might like a good giggle too. After all, it’s just a
toy right?</div>
<div>Later ya’ll,</div>
<div>Mike</div></div></div><br><br>
