Grinding

Today, my boyfriend got pulled over and arrested for driving with a suspended license. Instead of getting my car impounded, his friend thought he'd do me a favor and drive it back to me. He doesn't know how to drive stick and blew my engine. My boyfriend is in jail and I no longer have a car. FML

Looks like someone needs a new car AND a new boyfriend.

Why did you let him drive your car without a license?

One would have to assume she knew his license was suspended, but she never says she did. When I was younger I drove without a license for the better part of a month without telling anyone but my best friend, so it could have been a similar case. As far as the impound goes, I am not sure in Florida, but up here if there is not someone there at the time of the arrest to drive the car away from the scene, it goes to the impound... Regardless that sucks big time =/

YDI. Seriously it is people like you that let these multiple convicted DUIs with suspended licenses to continue to drive.

You let him drive your car around without you? Gee, ma'am, you sure are a smart one.

haha, almost the exact same thing happened to me just this morning. around midnight thirty or so, my friend is driving himself and i a couple of blocks home, and this police officer is following behind us. nothing doing, just runs a routine license check. turns out my friend's license got suspended a while ago and nobody let him know, including the dmv where he renewed his licence AFTER it was suspended. so he got cuffed and canned, and i had to drive his manual 89 ford escort home. however, i had just started learning how to drive stick the day before so i could use his car for a job i just got, so i got it home without blowing it up.

With your boyfriend in the pokey, you ought to have his friend drive you. I don't know how you are going to get around, but you don't need to be celibate when your boyfriend's in the hoosegow. Don't worry, it's not your engine, the friend just blew a tranny. Don't ask me why performing fellatio on cross-dressers is bad for cars. It just is.

No, it might detract from the double-entendre about having the friend "drive" her, and the "blow the tranny" pun. Nobody bothered to comment on it. I guess I should be happy that kewlcat didn't ream me out for this one.

He coulda blown a tranny. Also possible for the friend to blown the engine if it's an old car without a rev-limiter. Sucks to be you OP

Common sense at last. Relatively modern cars are outfitted with rev limiters to prevent that from happening.

Why are you letting someone with a suspended license drive your car?

A woman who can drive stick-shift? That is awesome. But yes, FYL.

I really don't understand all this woman/man division between manual and automatic cars....EVERYONE in England, regardless of sex...drives manual.

Really? England just got a lot cooler from my perspective.

FYL because your boyfriend is a douchenugget and your friend doesn't know how to drive a car.
