The son has been told by his dad (my buddy) to sign my buddy's name to the title. I am supposed to receive the keys, the title and the car. I don't think the problem is the son. I think the problem is the D-I-L, and her vocal talent in swaying a reasonable man's mind. And is also why my buddy suggested to hold off calling his son until tomorrow (Friday), to coordinate picking the car up. That will limit the time available to the temptress / blabber-mouth.
