But when you buy a car, you become a taxi service. Some people try to take advantage. When I had the monte and grand national it happened all the time. When I switched to the mazda rx7. It stopped. Lol.
I never changed my friends though. I just simply said no when I couldn't or charged them for gas when I could. Lol.
The trick to giving a ride in NY is do it when you have a quarter tank or less and make them fill u up or at least put half a tank. Lol. Eventually they stop asking.
