[ (Kind of. Slightly. Still is. If Tim had his way he'd have a garage full of machines.) ]

--and needed a reliable ride to school anyway. Plus, I think he figured I'd get into more trouble without one?

Honesty hour, though -- did you ever give a joyride a shot, anyway?

[ Hey. Tim definitely remembers being fifteen, and being told he wasn't allowed to do something. Pretty much just a challenge to do it anyway. ]
