Perhaps you could explain how your Stepdad got "Your" car in the first place. He doesn't seem like someone I'd trust my car (or insurance) to in the first place.

The only really important lesson to be learned from this is to "learn from experience"...PERIOD!

..............Geez.....one mention about my step-dad and everyone goes balistic..........This has gotten WAY off topic. Honestly, the only reason why I brought up my step-dad was to show that he couldn't buy me anther car. This talk about my stepdad has brought back bad memories.....so if you guys would just drop the stepdad topic, this is about my car and me suspending my railfanning activites, NOT about my stepdad being in prison.

.........I would also like to mention a couple of things to 06archered..........

......I left IHOP back in May, 7 months ago........You are WAY behind in times......And you laughing at the fact that I have NO car really insulted me.......That was WAY uncool......I would like an apology.

Why do I get the impression that everyone is lecturing kline? If I read the posts correctly, kline did change the oil, after the vehicle was abused by the step-dad. As I read it, very little fault lies with kline. Remember, he's a railnut like the rest of us, so he can't be all bad, no matter who he is related to.

kline, I can't offer you a car or any cash for another (it's too close to Christmas), but I can offer you a ride to watch trains, if I get down your way. Also don't let the troubles with your step-dad get you down. Now is the time to show everyone what YOU are made of, not his influence on you. Take this tragedy and turn it around and make something positive out of it. Be there for your mother. Bolster her self-esteem so she won't pick another man like your previous step-dad by showing her she did alright by you. Don't be too proud to ask for help, especially from your real father upstairs. He loves to improve situations like yours. Have a Merry Christmas and a BETTER new year.

The railroads offer perfect examples of how a piece of machinery can last virtually forever given proper maintenance...how else could they have locomotives that have literally over a million miles on them (and sometimes way over a million) and were built in the 1950's. Take care of them and they will take care of you is "right on".

Some of you are so heartless and very mean. Sorry to hear this Kline. I hope that you find another car soon. And good luck to you. Allan.

Since this is the Xmas season & people are supposed to be in a more giving mood to others less fortunate like you so the question arises did you start this thread to solicit donations from the group[?]

I would torch that car, send it to the crusher and take whatever money from the scrap yard toward completly different transport. The blown engine is only one of this cars problems. You shuld put as much distance between you and this car/stepdad as you can.

Anybody stupid enough to get himself into the kind of trouble described above has barely enough brains to eat, sleep and "eliminate waste" let alone maintaining a piece of machinery. "WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU, BAD BOYS, BAD BOYS".

Gee Jim, judging from the title of this topic, I thought you might have been standing in the middle of the tracks stopping trains, and preventing others from railfanning.[swg]

Your life seems to be filled with a cast of characters, right out of a soap opera.

Sounds like it's time to start a budget. i know you have a job. Hopefully you still have the means to get to work; consider this a learning experience!
