Why not? If we can give someone with a family who needs a nice car, and cannot afford one give it to them. Generaly someone who is in a situation like that isnt goign to drive around aimlessly because they can. It would still allow them to get to point a to point b quickly and hopefully more safely then whatever rusted out pos they were driving before if they were even driving anything.
