We live in sad times..

I was looking thru the car section to find a winter beater in Kijiji when I came across this ad…

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-Other-poor-kid-needs-car-W0QQAdIdZ70604535

basically:

I’m 17 years old and I don’t have a lot of money :frowning: if anyone out there has a piece of junk car that they can’t sell or would like to make a young boy the happiest person in the world, and wouldn’t mind me taking it off their hands, please email me and change my life.

Thank you so much and god bless.

Made me think of the time when I didn’t have a car,
but working toward one was better off then looking for a freebie lol.

hmmm maybe i should start asking if people want to donate there spare parts.parts that i need that is

TBH: i dont think thats very sad at all. I remember wanting a car and having no money. Thats how alot of teenagers that age are. It wasnt that long ago for me so i can empathize with him. If he doesnt have alot of money, go work a job and make some. I worked through almost all of my highschool years. Maybe he shouldve had some foresight and if not then maybe he should get to working.

nothing wrong with the ad… who knows maybe someone is looking to get rid of a junker… and instead of giving it away to a scraper, maybe the kid can put it to better use… if hes at all mechanically inclined then he can turn it around… and yes people do give away cars… my dads friend gave him a ford escort back in the day… just gave it to him… was his daily driver for almost 6 years with no major work needed ever!

There’s nothing wrong with the ad itself but i personally dont see how its a sad story. I think its sadder that parents are giving out keys for brand new BMWs, Benz’s, and other expensive powerful cars without a second thought in their head.

^^ i second that.

But with the ad, honest, this kid is a douche. You cant go around asking for free things, you’ve got to work in order to recieve, maybe he will eventually get something for free, but that is just a little to much wishfull thinking. Im practically in his age group, and ive gone through 3 cars already, worked hard for everyone of them, im technically poor aswell, yet i feel alot better then i did with just wishfull thinking. Besides… if your poor, how the shit do you expect to work on/fix/drive/maintain any type of vehicle? yet alone support your own self?
Being 17, insurance alone will rape you up the bum.

0.02$

No truer words were ever said…except maybe “Season is gay” :slight_smile:

But in truth, I can somewhat feel sorry for people who are spoon-fed because they’ll realize what it takes to earn something eventually.

See, that’s the stupid thing. If someone really had a car that they would be willing to either scrap or give away… how safe and decent do you think it’ll be?

In the end, he’d probably have to put in so much money and his car wouldn’t be so “free” anymore.

And I’d laugh at that kid when it comes to getting insurance + getting the car safetied + e-tested + paying for gas + paying for maintenance.

He should just take the bus.

^^word up. transit ftmfw!!

he shuld stopp begging and bumming and get a job. christmas is coming… lots of stores waiting to hire for overtime cram hours . he just a lazy ass awaiting free items… when i was 17 i was working my ass off 7$ an hr for my 240

lol, exactly. Good and interesting points from everyone!

haha I know it might of sounded strange from my title of the thread towards the ad for some, but it’s just funny how some kid can expect a free car, he’s broke, and then hope to f’n drive the thing let alone if its running or he’s mechanically inclined, hows he supposed to afford insurance or gas these days and at his age…

many things come to play which leads to the sad times conclusion…haha you gotta think outta the box.

Meh. I know of a few people who have been spoon-fed their entire lives and are en-route to med-school. :confused:

Chances are they’ve got it made, even if they did milk their parents dry.

meh working your ass off for cash is part of life and every teens gotta go through eventually… =D
once he realizes nothing in life is free then he’ll go look for ways to get money

lol i love how he puts god bless.

He will sure need something lucky up his butt to get a car that works for free.

Also i noticed that no one mention how gas price will also rape him. Old car due for the scrap yard( free car)= Gas guzzler

And i was 17 a few years ago and it was not that hard to get a car for cheep. Bought my first for $250 and it was working and drive able. And for that age group, as a 2nd dary driver its at lease $2000. i Know primary at that age on a 240sx was $5500 for me.

Good luck to him. gotta have balls to ask

hahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahah …

hahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaha …

all aboard the sucker train, get a job!

That’s very very true man.
I rarely see a “dumbass” spoonfed nowadays.
All spoiled teens/young adults are like mad smart in terms of education.

Not true. Having an expensive education does not mean you are “mad smart”.

lol most of the spoiled teens that I know usually are the lazy slackers in terms of the school life, guess they wait for their parents to hook them up in the future somehow if they decide to give up…

Sam Your Gay! Capslocked!!!

True, though he did say “in terms of education.”
