You know what?  I understand your situation but I think that if he truly
didn't want to give you the ride he'd tell you and at this point if he
doesn't that's his deal, he offered you tried not to impose and he said
that's bs well, so take him up on it then see how things go from there if he
doesn't want to give you a ride on a snowy day all he has to do is say hey
man I don't want to do this today or ever and you can just say ok take it as
long as it lasts.
