2.) Well, you get a bunch of parking tickets, and then one day it gets impounded, and then you have to gather the money to get it out, and some time goes by, and you go to try and con your way out of this mess, and they say "Oh, they took that Jeep to some other yard," and then some more time goes by, and no one really knows where it is...
When I asked (silly me) he said "Ma, you gotta chill. You worry too much."
I no longer ask.
If he calls and tells me he was in an accident, I can say "Gee, Jon, I'm sorry to hear that," and if he says "Hey, Ma, I'm gonna buy another Jeep," and I say "Gee, Jon, that's great," and when that one gets wrecked, I'll say "Gee, Jon, that too bad. I hope you're okay...."
