_"Steven started with an old cell phone and eventually traded up to his impressive ride._
It didn’t happen overnight, but with the help of the Craigslist website and a lot of patience, Steven made 14 online swaps over two years to get his 2000 Porsche Boxster S."

a 9000 dollar boxster… kid probably could have made way more than $9K if he worked for 2 years instead of spending 5-6 hours a day on fucking craigslist.

maybe he should be paying attention in fucking class rather than bs’ing on his iPhone
also, those wheels are horrendous and there is something up with the hood/bumper fitment. That car is probably a disaster and beat to piss.

I’d bet Newman would trade a cell phone for a 17 year old. 😛
I think this is a great story.

We’ll say 5 hours 5 days a week to be conservative. We’ll say 50 weeks out of the year. Even at minimun wage that is still $9,062 IN ONE YEAR.
I won’t even get into the long term benefits like job experience, resume boosting, work ethic etc. Get off the damn computer and quit worrying about being BALLER in your Porsche or Caddy.
All that aside, we don’t know this kid. He could be working as well… and let’s be honest here, the effort and results are impressive.
