Clint:
I'm sorry your "friends" were using you the way they were, but it just shows, by your realizing it, that you may have outgrown them. You seem to be a bright, honest and entertaining person, so just get out there and meet new people, ones that share your interests and values. That one guy comeing around to bum "fixit" money off of you shows their true colors. If you had been with them in the "accident", yeah, it'd be cool to help pay, but THEY ditched you, then wanted you to fix it..don't sound very friendly to me..
Just my 2 cents...
