Funny story… long but wow…
We were selling Jesse’s car when he lived in Japan. It needed a radiator and would overheat so we sold it “as is”. Other than that it was fine, just an older Volvo v70 wagon.
So the title is in his name. A kid and his Dad came over to check it out. Sort of white trash but whatever, he had cash. So Nick was there pretending to be Jesse because he has to sign the title over and Jesse is in Japan.
Goes fine. 2 days later the kid calls to say the head gasket blew. He said his mechanic saw coolant in the oil. He asked if it blew white smoke. I said to him, “we had no issues, you and your Dad checked the oil in our garage and he followed you home…. He would have seen white smoke if there was an issue, but it was fine when you left.”
He was fine with that, said his grandmother was giving him her Blazer anyway. Couple weeks later he calls because he wants to junk the car but he never registered it… although it was “sold” he never went to the registry to pay the sales tax and register it in his name. Technically it was still Jesse’s.
So he is at the Junkyard and the owner needs Jesse’s license to junk the car🙄🙄🙄🙄. Oh crap right?? So I go down to the junkyard and come clean with both the owner of the junkyard and the kid. I tell him he’s in Japan. The guy was cool but had to do things right. What I did was call Jesse in Japan from the junkyard, had him text me a picture of his license and that was good enough.
