BW2/3  +  284505 Mon, 23 Oct 06 04:59 AM I asked him are you always taking the bus. He replied only when my wife did not use the car. Then he uttered that my wife gave me the car back when it was in trouble. Are they correct? Thank you BW2/3 Joined on Sat, Oct 22 2005 Contributing Member 1,283 Carpe diem!!
