VADriven.com Forums - I put my cousin in jail for $750...but it was his own damn fault

Where to begin.....

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I have a friend who is a member here (sloexpo) and he had thought about selling his (grown) cousin a 1988 Chevy Impala for $750. So far it sounds like a good deal, right? Well let me give you a lil back ground on good ol' cousin. He’s a nice guy and fun to be around but he makes poor decisions, similar to those of my good buddy Jessie Bates :rolleyes:. The funny part is that his parents are PAID he just wants to be a thug. Anyway

As soon as Slo Expo tells me about his plan I have to question his judgment. But he assures me that cuz wont drive it until he gets his license reinstated. I look at him like he’s crazy and say " you actually expect him to get a car and not drive it?" He assures me that he wont drive it. I take a minute and think. I tell him that "He's gonna drive it and hes gonna get arrested." He assures me again that he won’t drive it. I say "Watch, ur gonna get your cousin arrested". Slow expo says words of the contrary and I leave it alone.

Well the day comes to drop the car off at cousins house so we drive out there, cousin lives in South Norfolk -looong drive from Norfolk. Cousin pays Slo expo half of the money and promises to give him the rest on the next payday. Slo expo says ok, keeps the title and will sign it over once the pymnt is made.

2 weeks go by and Slo expo gets a call from his cousin...In jail. (He got pulled over because he didn’t have plates on the car and wouldn’t you know it, his license was suspended too. Mr Officer was very nice and invited cousin to spend a weekend in a city funded getaway for guys who need a break from society.)
Slo expo asks him if he is ok and where is the car. Cousin catches amnesia and Slo expo doesn’t find it too funny so we go looking for the car. Didn’t find it though.
***I know its a bitch move but I had to say the biggest I TOLD YOU SO I ever have. LOLZ

Here’s where it gets good..

Sloexpo gets a call from the cousin a few days later. Cousin says he needs the title to the car. Sloexpo says you can have it for $375, cousin says that he doesn’t have it but he really needs the title. He said he has sold the car to pay for his lawyer and needs the title to complete the deal! hahahahaha
Slo expo asks what about his $375, cuz says he will worry about that later.

Naturally you can imagine an argument starts, how do you intend to sell a car you don’t have the title to? I have no idea, but he sure thought he could. LOL
