Re: What would you do?

I don't wanna sound like a dick, but I'd prolly just tell him sorry and you told him all the problems you knew about. If you read his other thread, it sounds like the oil feed line popped off. Who woulda known. He said it died, then he restarted it and drove it some more. Maybe he shoulda payed a lil more attention to that oil pressure gauge before he drove it more after it died once. It's shitty luck, but it happens. He'll just have to deal with it. The first car I bought, got it for a grand. 89 Sable. After like 2 months, the thing didn't hardly want to turn left. Then it blew a headgasket. So I sold it to some mexicans for like 200 bux. I blew a headgasket in my GST in Utah, like 300 miles from Yuma. So I had no choice really except to pay a local mechanic to fix it. Cost me 700 bux, but what can you do, it happens. On the drive home about 3 hours away from the shop, my oil filter came loose, causing my timing belt to slip and busted 5 valves an hour away from Yuma. Shitty luck. But I just dealt with it. I dunno, I feel bad for him, but shit happens. He'll have to deal with it just like I did, and like I'm sure others on here have before too.
