Corrections please!
I think this is the first time I don't agree with Rusty's corrections

"Iba en carro con mi amigo y lo escuché muchas veces decirle a su esposa "te quiero y te amo" porque se le había olvidado su cumpleaños.

"Iba en carro": In Spanish only the driver "maneja", the others "van en el carro/coche/automóvil"

"escuché": The preterite must be used here because it's an action that only takes place once.

"Se le había olvidado": It's talking about the past. The Past Perfect sounds better. I'm not sure the Preterite is correct, it sounds like translated literally from English.
