    Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
    Last word was the truck was getting paid off. Was supposed to be a short time off. Well things went dark at that point.

    As I understand it, they couldn't reach an agreement on what the truck was worth, and he gave it back to them.

    The young lady is with him in NC, and pretty freaked out over the hurricane. They have bought a house together, and he's selling the family home.

    Assuming that means that these are not walk away leases?

    One of the problems with internet forums such as this, when someone starts a thread, responds to a thread, etc, it's open to public scrutiny.

    BD has pretty much laid himself wide open over the past couple of years on this forum, for better or worse, only time will ultimately tell.

    My advice to him moving forward is, discretion is the better part of valor. Caution is preferable to rash bravery ;-)

    Btw ...I don't blame him for quiting ....but he should have gave notice and payed off the truck at the agreed upon price when he bought it .
