No car for 7 days.

I like a man that is as good as his word. Those are the individuals you can do business with on a handshake.

Shows respect and self-worth.

Nicely done Mart.

Like Laranger said a man is only as good as his word. If you can't depend on your friends in times of need who can you depend on. At least you should be able to sleep well knowing you have helped a friend in his time of need. Hope he doesn't let his teenage kids drive though!!!

Yeah a man is only as good as his word.There was a time when a man's word was good as gold.At least next time you think before making promises that might put you in a bind. (LOL)

Your Friend is taking major advantage. Borrowing is taking the car to work for a day or to the grocery store. Your friend is putting you out and it's a dick move.

Ya missed this statment didn't ya.

he's asked if i meant my promise because he's like to take his family to Glasgow in Scotland. For a week for a family reunion. Only he can't afford to travel up to Scotland by coach. Plus the family would prefer a car rather than a coach anyway. So i said yes.

I know very well Mart!! Is indeed a good human person. I admire his "chat" with me.

In the life it needs to have trust and alone love to of the people that indeed understand the word "Respect and punctuality."
I have not had people that respect me. Just nobody!
And I have always been good and polite with everybody. Particularly my great love and respect for the women.
And in my job I have had to give different times my car to some colleagues (but I speak of the past). Luckily they have not ruined me my car (or other thing as the fines). And only a colleague (one of the bad dangerous) has always had the fixation to have my car to go to sexual appointments. The manager of the museum has never given importance to this serious thing on the job.

Is a shame those colleagues of my job!

Didn't miss that at all.

I have a question. When you offered to lend the car was your intention to let your friend have it for a week or more? Did you think he would just borrow it to run errands and have it back in a few hours.
