note to self: smack jit for being a dumbass

over the past few days, i have turned into a detective. see, my fiance's friend, who we all lovingly call "JIT" (his real name is either jose or julian, but everyone calls him jit), has done yet another stupid thing. let me start from the beginning.

russell met jit about a year ago at work, this kid is like a barnacle. he just is very clingy. we felt bad with him b/c his mom is lazy and doesn't work, his dad doesn't come home for days (we assume he is w/ hookers), he has a younger brother & sister who don't know what the hell is going on. they got kicked out of their apartment b/c they didn't pay their bills for months, so they moved into this hotel that jit was paying for. they stayed there for a couple months, then jit's mom hit him, so he moved out. he wanted to move in w/ us for $50/week, but this other guy offered to let him stay w/ him for free(dumbass). so he's been there for months now. this kid was tricked into buying a car for $800 that wasn't even worth a nickel. it was a stick shift which he doesn't even know how to drive, so the family he's been staying w/ was driving it around when he paid for it. oh, remember how they said he could stay with them for free? they ended up charging him $50/week and he paid for all the groceries (there were 6 people living in that apt. too) so he felt like he's been taken advantage of (duh) so he moved to an apt 20 miles away in the ghetto w/ no car. (he sold the p.o.s. to that guy for $500) he said he would ride the bus, but that didn't work out so he said he wanted to buy a car...

russell said he would take him friday (today) to go look b/c jit doesn't know shit about cars, obviously. he couldn't wait till today so on tuesday he went and bought: a '96 4-dr civic w/ the check engine light on, and the speedometer and odometer were broken, and this car has 150k miles on it. WAIT...it gets better. so after russell checks the car out, he says this car is a piece of crap, you need to get your money back. so someone said "you have 3 days to get out of any contract, florida law" so they looked at the contract he signed. those assholes at that little R&J auto sales pre-dated the contract 3 days! so he is SOL. so basically, i am trying to contact the florida fraud hotline, and the lady on the news who does consumer fraud investigations. we need to sue them, this car is going to end up costing him over $9,000 in the next 2 years. this poor kid can't do anything right, he is like the guy from winnie the pooh w/ a rain cloud over him where ever he goes.
