Ok so my brother leaves me his 31 Chevy. He's in AZ I'm in MA. I told him I was going to drive it to the old tymers Sunday (tomarrow) Problem is I took it out last night was burnin a little rubber next thing I know Bang I blow the spiders right out of it. Should I tell him or try and fix it and not say anything. I'm sure he won't read this post so I'm not really worried about that.
Tell him........fix it......... then stay the **** out of it.....! #1 Never tell anyone your gonna take their car out....ask for permission. #2 You don't hot dog somebody else's ride #3 Don't think he won't find out #4 You don't **** over people......especially family
Both.....it's your responsibility to repair it, and out of respect he should know.. Most people won't let someone else drive thier car's for exactly the reason you posted.....he let you, so by fixing it and telling him he'll see your doing the right thing and will probably let you take it again....and NOT beat on it!! However, if he found out some other way thing's may be different in the end... They would if it were me. Just my 2 cents. Tony
Fix it and tell him. There are too many people keeping too many secrets from good people these days, your relationship with your brother depends on trust, beating on his car is bad enough, lying to him (or keeping it from him) will only erode your relationship, trust, is everything. Might sound old fashion, but honesty is the best policy.
someone around there has to have a 55-64 chevy pumpkin.....and I promise I won't tell him, but he will see this post, so get ready for it John! btw that pumpkin might be the one that was in my 61 when I got it? different r&p gears though.
Fix it and see if you can blow the box out of it next.......peelin always comes before family and if he was any good at peeling he would have broke it first.
I just got off the phone with Steve, we talked for a long time about the rearend in his 31 chevy, not the gold car but the one he's building with the poncho mill.. Boy will I be in trouble when he reads this
Hey Jim his computer is down so this post will be long gone by the time its fixed thanks for not spilling the beans. He sounded kinda mad I thought for sure he knew but I guess he doesn't. I took 2 teath off the ring gear and the only center I could get was 336 do think he'll know the diffrence?
Well the respectable thing to do as you know is tell him and then let me know your going to fix it and your sorry, but the sneaky way is to tell him "hey man your rear end sounds kinda funny like its humming I've got an extra one here that i'll swap out for ya no problem! Love you bro!" fin
Be straight with your brother, he may get mad, but as long as your a MAN about it tell him , let him fix it so he knows it was put together with his hands in it, and has peace of mind about i.........Maybe this is a bit off topic, but I have been carsitting for my boss because of some space issues......he has a 07 Z06 Corvette, and a 64 vette...both are beautiful...now he ask me to store them for him , I wanted to drive them one day and I could have with no problems, and he would of never knew, but I gave him a yell and asked him....he said no problem go enjoy yourself....I guess the point to all this is to be honest and tell the truth you might be suprised, and at least you can sleep at night....
Tell him you son of a *****. Then fix the ****ing thing. Someone take this guy out the back and teach him the error of his ways. Please. You just DONT screw with someones car, if you do and break if, for ****s sake tell them. Its the right thing to do.
My Daddy told me if something breaks on his car while I was driving it, I got to fix it. That meant I bought the parts and got greasy. Never happened, in his car anyway. Jump a decade or so and He's driving one of my cars... Next time I see him he says. Ya know, the battery went dead in that Chevy and I had to replace it." I just said "Thanks!" He says "But.." I repeat his old rule.. at which point Mom just snickers and says; "Honey, Those are your rules! We all laughed. You broke it you fix it, as soon as possible.
