When brother Bob was here over Thanksgiving he ordered and replaced a knob on his dash to control the rear ac/heat. You could still operate it, the knob was just cracked. It cost him $15. He wouldn't even look at his rear brakes that are making a grinding noise. Says he doesn't have the money. New rear pads are $20. New rotors and pads all the way round are $135. Told him the longer he waits the more it is going to cost him. Think there is a reason he doesn't keep a car for very long.

He also gets into accidents. He claims he is a safe driver but riding with him discovered he is one of those people that drives really slow. The only way I got him to speed up is told him I had to take a dump and if he didn't get to the house quick we would be cleaning his passenger seat. He actually drove a little faster than the speed limit instead of well under it. Why would anyone put along at 20 in a 40? Any why would they consider that safe?

That's the other thing. Even though his brakes are making a horrible grinding noise, he insisted on driving when we went somewhere?
