LOL. I just hope it's not the next door neighbor's car.
LOL. The scary part is that this could easily be a real situation where the kids innocently are trying to do something good. Now, how to turn that into a learning experience without losing it?
I was working at a Lincoln dealership when one of our better clients, an older woman, called to say she had a problem starting her Town Car. I sent a technician over to her house. The next thing I know, I see the car coming on a hook. It turns out the woman had asked her grandson to take it to get gas. He pulled up to the pumps and thought he could save grandma some money by putting the cheapest gas in the tank, "diesel fuel."
