The one that he crashed on the way home from the dealership before he even got his license? Yeah, he still doesn’t have it back yet; the accident was in January. Well, as part of the repairs the ENTIRE ENGINE was replaced, but now it smokes like a chimney. The body shop says it’s BMW’s problem, and the BMW says it’s the body shop’s problem. So, no car, at least no BMW. Instead he’s driving a rental. A rental? At age 16? Seriously? Is that even allowed? C’mon - buy the kid a $1,500 beater and make him work to buy something better, or at least to pay his insurance bill which now has to be outrageous.
