I've hung out with him many times, knowing him the truck probably isn't registered to him, I'm sure he doesn't give a damn about credit reports and wage garnishment. He hasn't worked a legitimate job in 10 years or so.
He may not care, but his wife probably will.
My understanding is that since CA is a "community property" state, you would be able to go after his wife's assets if you were to receive a judgement.
Someone else here mentioned his wife runs a successful business and is the primary breadwinner, and you know what they say about happy wife, happy life...
