I give family members lifts home, like if my sisters come to visit, or sometimes borrow the car to go on outings with my sisters, such as a walk, or taking my mum to Tesco. I‘ve also borrowed the car 4 times in the last 6 months (as far as I can remember) for cinema trips with friends and to a party.So, what should I contribute to the upkeep of the car? Also, when I first passed my driving test I offered to pay for petrol and he didn‘t want me to as - 1) He didn‘t want me to think I could borrow the car loads/ get it in my mind that I half own the car and 2) He didn‘t intend for me to use the car a lot.Also, when I ask my Dad what I should contribute he tells me not to bother however, I remember he used to moan about my brother not contrubiting to the car when he borrowed it.
the bad side of owning a manual trans is when an auto fails, there usually is something left to build, with a manual, your looking at a great expense if it has been run to the point of failure if you can get the parts that is. sometimes rebuilding a manual trans just isn't financially feasible. besides, you don't want some dealer mechanic trying his luck repairing your manual trans
Petrol is fair enough, and maybe a nice wash!
You're stressing too much. Pay for gas sometimes and they will appreciate it.
Certainly contribute to gas as far as the upkeep of the car,anything that goes wrong. Especially if you use it more often than your dad does.
Dealers sub out that work usually. It's possible a dealer in a real small town may do rebuilds if they find it too hard to get replacement trannies.
