> [@Cliff](#): > > But the sad thing is, Travis has nothing logical to say to defend himself. There’s so many places that are hiring and you can make a decent living from. Rent-A-Center, $10.50 an hour, 48 hours a week. Minimum of 8 hours of overtime. Wal-Mart, Price Chopper… steady paycheck. > > I have two friends working at Rent-A-Center, they _LOVE_ going to work. They repo the shit out of things and argue with scumbags all day. Why do that? He can play poker once a week and make that without working “all those hours” I don’t think Travis will take/has taken anything said in here and thought to himself “hmm, I should get myself in line”…Instead he’s probably at the computer screaming “Eat a dick!” ---

Everybody jumped on he “Travis fundraiser” bandwagon to help the kid out so he could get a new car. WHYYYY did everyone wanna help him out to get a car? Because he had a job… and everyone wanted to make sure he got there everyday. So basically, the fundraiser was useless and everyone should have just let him sit home and do nothing. ---

But the thing is, that wasn’t even really a joke… it was more of what I’ve come to realize about Travis. His whole life was dumped into his car. He worked to keep his car, he worked to MOD his car… everything he did revolved around his car. It’s more of a truthful statement than a jab. He no longer has his car, or a car worth MODDING, so he has no reason to work or put forth any effort. What he failed to realize, working on cars / having a modded car needs to be a HOBBY, not a lifestyle. ---

If I stuff my car into a wall, can we have a fundraiser? That’d be super.
