I'm guessing more than he has available right now. Besides which his car is dead, there will be no fixing.

Pffftt! Dude you have got to buy yourself some new parents when you get that first paycheck.

You are beginning to experience the problems of the working class my dear Goodwood. Ain't it a bitch being a member of the proletariat. *SNIP* I certainly hope your first day goes better for you, but if by any chance you should have one like mine, just try to remember that there may be something else for you...

Hey Goodwood, this is God talking, I am opening a window and telling you to take over the payments on your friends car a.s.a.p.

, it's $100 and the best money you will spend all year! You get 200 miles free towing, they fix flat tires, they will tow you out of mud or snow, they will also get you back into your vehicle when you lock the keys in it and if you run out of gas they bring you 5 gallons for free. Though I have on occassion received a dirty look from the tow truck operator.
