OT: 3 or 4 loaners?

Submitted by KevbosLastingLessons on

I'm no lawyer (outside of bird law, of course), but if pryor's lawyer wants to claim that the number of loaners isn't 8 as reported, shouldn't he know EXACTLY how many? It's pretty easy to differentiate between 3 cars and 4 cars isnt it? I don't know if I'm reading too much into it, but it just seems that he just indirectly revealed that he is in the process of picking a number to make his case, meaning that both numbers are likely incorrect.

I think this just means they have created, er found, paperwork for 3 cars and hope to be able to come up with something for the 4th.  This story continues to stink, despite the recent justification offered by TP and his (suddenly wealthy) mom.

I grew up in a fairly well off family, and had 1 car at age 16-17, a worse one from 18-24, and on occassion drove my mothers 4x4 Jimmy with leather when I needed to try to get chicks.   I don't know why its hard to figure out.    Who are these people?

My parents own a business and I drove 3 cars from sophomore year of high school until now.  11 years.  This kids mother is poor and he's driven 8 in 3 years.  Something is up.

In high school I drove a 1986 BMW 3 series that broke down several times weekly and was missing the door panels. It was probably the biggest pile of junk in the high school parking lot, and that's saying something. But I always told the ladies "I drive a BMW" when they asked because it was priceless to see the looks on their faces when they saw my car because you know they were expecting something nice.

I had to give that bad boy to the junkyard a few years ago because it needed some minor mechanical work that exceeded the total value of the car (approx. 3 bags of bbq chips and a pair of used sneakers if I had to guess it's actual value). I actually miss it big time, though.

I don't understand this argument of loaner cars.  When I take my car into the shop, they give me a loaner only if I PAY for one.  I've only known my parents to get a "free" loaner and that's probably b/c they drove a luxury vehicle.  This is auto-loans.  Not the local Lexus dealership.

To me it stinks of improper benefits.  What 19-20 year old kid gets not only one loaner, but multiple.  Is his car really getting fixed that often?  How is he paying for that b/c that sounds expensive.  Merchandise exchanging expensive.

I'm surprised every reporter within 500 miles of that dealership hasn't gone to try to get the loaner cars for long weekend trips out of state that they give out to Pryor like lollipops.  If he didn't get any special discount not available to the general public, this should be easy to come by.

Improper benefits? If he has been in enough accidents to need 8 loaner cars, forget his license, how much is insurance?

I'd like to see how he paid for that insurance bill every month.

How might that conversation go?

Kniffin: "'Sup, Terrelle? You already back again?"

TP: "Need another ride, man. You keep giving me these @#%ing pieces o' sh-t."

Kniffin: "Now, remember, Terrelle. We talked about this the last time. Cars need gas to operate. You need to fill it up when the needle gets near 'E'."

TP: "Man, maybe I need to take my b'ness to another dealer."

Kniffin: "All right, Terrelle. Here are the keys to the 350Z out back."

I wonder what happened to that nice Dodge Charger he traded in for his Nissan that it needed to go.  Bitches weren't giving him enough action, so it's time for a new ride.

  I always just thought ncaa athletes driving awesome cars where the norm. I remember seeing alot of buckeyes in crazy expensive cars going back to the late 80ies early 90ies, I'm sure sure folks in columbus are just kind of numb to it. I remember Lawrence Funderburke rocking a porchse back when he was playing for OSU and Eddie George had a pimped truck . I also Remember David Boston getting turned away from a club entrance for being underaged lol. When we laughed about it ( after we realized who he was) he started talking to us and wanted to race me
