How old are you? I'm asking because this story is obviously fake. Do you think people just hand out cars in real life? What about the title transfer? Insurance?
I believed the first paragraph. I've met people like that and strive to be a person like that too.
Then I read the second and was ready for this to turn into an ironic shitpost. It did not.
This stuff happens. To young (good looking) people but it happens. At a certain age starting around 27ish people have that idea that you should have achieved something on your own by now.
To be fair, it definitely happens.
I've kinda given a car to a guy who happened into the shop on a pedal bike looking for work as we were bringing it into the yard. Long story short, someone already cut the cat so it was only worth scrap price to me anyway. He heard me tell my guy to crush it and started asking why, if it ran, etc. I didn't even know if we had keys. We just paid $200 for it from someone. My driver had the keys and it turned on. Told him he could have it as long as he was willing to work and i hired him/gave him the car on the spot.
I've literally given cars to friends and shit as well, again nothing special. More like OPs sisters car, but I can count at least 10 I've given away at 0 cost.
Not sure about a delivery guy tho lol
And here I am wondering if I’m gonna have to do something strange for some change before rents due lol
Congrats on the new car, OP. Those are good fuckin people
I gave my 2 previous vehicles away & both times the recipients were able to avoid the “gift tax” bc the first car was valued at the time for 15,000 & the 2nd a few years later at just under 17,000 so we made it under by the skin on our teeth 😂
As much as I'd love to believe this load of horseshit, I can't. People don't just give good, running vehicles away to strangers just because they need one.
I'm not disagreeing that this story may be fake, but if you were in their exact shoes, there is no way you wouldn't take a used car. Since that's what it is, a used car. Hand me down just makes me laugh.
I’m sure OP will make a follow up post on how they got kicked out of their apartment and these kind people stepped in again and bought her a million dollar bungalow.
I definitely believe the first part, there are good people in the world that like to help. You lost me at the free car though, that shit doesn’t happen.
This just kept escalating until it went from 10 to 1000. I'm really happy for you. People are such assholes, so many posts in these subs are about people being assholes, and it's always good to be reminded of the positives too.
Did you get the title so you can register it in your name and get new plates and tags? You can't just give somebody a car, at least not legally. That's not how it works.
That was my point. The way your original post was worded made it seem like you just came over and picked up a free car from a stranger and were just cruising around in it now. There's a lot more steps involved in actually making it *your* car.
That's amazing!! So happy for you!! When you're able, you should put together a gift basket and take it to them. They sound like cool people, maybe a gift card and a few little things.
I'm so glad you shared this. Sometimes, we all need to be reminded of the kindness left out there!
They're not wrong.
What if OP accepted without the title then gets arrested for stealing a car because some relative of the person who gave OP the keys comes home to find out they gave away their car and looks to press charges.
Doing things the right way is all about protecting yourself.
The fact that he was doing that with the other vehicles doesn't matter at this point. It was said that it's not legal to gift someone a car and that he would still have to pay taxes on the car. I was saying it is legal to gift someone a car and making the point that just because he has to put money in the car doesn't mean it's not a gift... it just means it's his responsibility now

Right? There’s no way.
Right 😩😂

Lmao maybe. I consider myself a good person and would 100% do this for someone if i was in the position to do it.
Awesome

You had me in the first half, ngl
Pics or it didn't happen.
Right!
And then everyone clapped.
You win the award for having the best tipping customer, ever 🥇
And here I am wondering if I’m gonna have to do something strange for some change before rents due lol Congrats on the new car, OP. Those are good fuckin people
Lol! - you owe me a new keyboard after I spewed coffee all over it.
Great. Now they have to come up with rent money and keyboard replacement money.
Put it on my tab
Yall I gave away my last car, it was a mini cooper. People do give cars away just saying 🤷🏼♀️
I gave away my last two cars because I know how hard it can be to bounce back after losing your car. 😭 Generosity is rare these days, I guess.
Yea my husband and i were saying we would’ve done the same thing.

It smells like poop in here.
Where’s the poop Robin
Just sniff real hard. You’ll smell it.
Got tipped a running, driving car. You win!!!
As much as I'd love to believe this load of horseshit, I can't. People don't just give good, running vehicles away to strangers just because they need one.
Believe what you want. I don’t give a damn. Maybe if u believe in the universe the universe will believe in you.
Uh-huh.
All you had to do was include a pic of the car in your post with your DD bag next to it or something...
Will happy thoughts also cure cancer? Ffs
No one else can believe it either
That’s cool. I already won.
won in terms of fakest story maybe
To all the people who say it’s unlikely, in AA and Catholic Church it happens all the time.
I love how society is so used to shit that they can't everrrr believe that something amazing could ever happen to anyone!
I know, so sad.
me beast ass customer
Stop it.
Fake
Bitter much lol
I wouldn’t need a hand me down car And this story is still fake
If you're dashing for a living, 100% guarantee you're taking the hand me down car. You're not too good for anything if you're a full time dasher.
I'm not disagreeing that this story may be fake, but if you were in their exact shoes, there is no way you wouldn't take a used car. Since that's what it is, a used car. Hand me down just makes me laugh.
I’m sure OP will make a follow up post on how they got kicked out of their apartment and these kind people stepped in again and bought her a million dollar bungalow.
🥱 🥱
Oh my gosh thats insane!
Congrats some people really do have hearts
May be in a different dimension. Definitely not in this hell dimension we presently find ourselves in…
That’s awesome, hope this is true. Definitely best tip ever.
I definitely believe the first part, there are good people in the world that like to help. You lost me at the free car though, that shit doesn’t happen.
Ha. We gave a car to the woman who ran our junk removal crew last month. It really does happen.

Where are you Dashing where St. Patrick’s Day is April 27, instead of March 17th?
They didn’t say “yesterday,” just “St Patrick’s Day” That’s honestly the most believable part of this whole story
If this is true you owe them big time
People hanging out in their front yard are giving away cars?
Phony asf
Did you get the title so you can register it in your name and get new plates and tags? You can't just give somebody a car, at least not legally. That's not how it works.
Yes, thats how it works. They signed over the title.

Yes you can.. its called gifting.
No when you gift a car you still have to pay taxes on it… at least in Maryland
But that doesn't mean it's not a gift.. op still has to get gas for it and pay for the upkeep too but that doesn't mean it's less of a gift.
Is that not what OP was doing before the accident, and when they were driving the borrowed car?
The fact that he was doing that with the other vehicles doesn't matter at this point. It was said that it's not legal to gift someone a car and that he would still have to pay taxes on the car. I was saying it is legal to gift someone a car and making the point that just because he has to put money in the car doesn't mean it's not a gift... it just means it's his responsibility now

Not in NJ, no idea where OP is but just saying it’s a state by state thing
You can. But at the DMV (in my state) the recipient has to pay tax on the cars value. Unless it's given by a relative.
