My understanding is that the owners of the car are the parents of the girl the driver was dating. It was her car but no doubt he drove it from time to time. The person who came down to the garage was the driver's mother.
I'm pretty sure my mechanic buddy doesn't get paid enough to try and keep people out of wrecked cars that don't belong to them. Besides, they all just sit out front of the garage anyway. Talk about sad, I pass my wrecked VX every time I drive to town now.![]()
