I wonder how much he paid on the truck after he took it back from his friend and employee that drove 100,000 miles in a year instead of completing projects.

I am sure that insurance and registration were less than the remainder of the loan.

He also had a Focus SFE we wished we could have kept, but we couldn't afford the payments.

The dash said 50 MPG, but it dropped while I drove it as carefully as I could.

He had chains. Those are usually good enough, right?
My friend once asked the financing company how many times over he had paid for his vehicle, and then asked if he could be done paying for it, and they agreed.

Contracts are negotiable, especially when you've already been so generous.

Regarding chains in AZ, yes they are plenty enough. Probably any tire with tread is fine.
