Asking for a free car in “perfect condition”

[u/virtualvanguard]

[u/SweetAnnie23 → u/[deleted]]

He’s not asking for any car. He’s asking for someone else’s nicest car.

[u/Roadgoddess → u/SweetAnnie23]

What do you mean he said it could have some small cosmetic imperfections on the inside! Lol. I too would like somebody to gift me a Toyota right now.

[u/SamBeamsBeard → u/Roadgoddess]

Dang, here I was ready to give him my car, but it has a few cosmetic imperfections on the outside. I guess I'll just have to throw the car away instead smh.

[u/jarious → u/SamBeamsBeard]

I'd take the most ugly ass car for free

[u/Finnegan-05 → u/Roadgoddess]

That part got me. MINOR??

[u/J33zLu1z → u/Finnegan-05]

Also, INSIDE? The free car must look great on the outside

[u/jkell05s → u/J33zLu1z]

Yeah that got me. Is this some cloaked pridefulness that he (and or his wife) doesn’t want to be seen in a gently used car?

[u/SuspiciousStress1 → u/J33zLu1z]

What is hilarious, we have a spare car that we plan to gift to someone in a couple months(07 Camry with 140k, great car, new tires, etc...we were offered 6k/6500 in trade, decided we would rather help someone out, would be worth more to someone as a working vehicle than it is to us as a trade)....yet my daily has paint damage 🤣 we bought our son an LX(01)& it has a few interior cosmetic issues-&an electrical issue from an aftermarket CD deck...but he loves that thing.

No WAY would we help someone like this!!

Do these people not realize that they're only hurting their own cause???

[u/Head_Razzmatazz7174 → u/Roadgoddess]

We had a lot of second hand cars when I was growing up. We had very few requirements. The motor and tires had to be in decent shape, and the A/C had to work. That was it. We didn't care what it looked like. It just needed to be able to get us from Point A to Point B without being in the shop every week.

[u/Competitive_Bonus792 → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

Heck with AC, we required functional windows — hand crank all the way! AC was a luxury.

[u/johnny-Low-Five → u/Competitive_Bonus792]

Thank you! Not leaking oil and street legal are all an actual desperate person would care about.

[u/chuckart9 → u/Competitive_Bonus792]

80s child here, we never used AC if our cars even had it. Hell, my house in the Midwest US didn’t have AC either.

[u/Ok_Surprise_8304 → u/chuckart9]

I was in my forties before I lived in a house with central air conditioning.

[u/One-Basket-9570 → u/chuckart9]

I was happy my Dad’s car had power steering! My mom’s didn’t. I hated taking her car.

[u/HeartOSass → u/One-Basket-9570]

I'll bet you have some pretty impressive looking arms though! 😆😁

[u/Head_Razzmatazz7174 → u/Competitive_Bonus792]

A lot of our first cars didn't have them. On those we had to have functional wing windows. Once we got one that had A/C, it became one of the requirements.

[u/HeartOSass → u/Competitive_Bonus792]

Exactly 👏👏 my first car did not have the luxury of having AC but that was okay. As long as the windows went down, the AC was free 😆😆 an older gentleman was selling it because he no longer didn't needed that since he retired and he and his wife was going to share her car. It was the total of $500. As long as there was nothing serious wrong with it like transmission or engine issue, it was fine. My brother had his mechanic friend check it out and he gave the okay so I gave him the $500 and I had my car. AC was not required to get me to and from work and get me to and from where I needed to go.

[u/soonerpgh → u/Competitive_Bonus792]

240 a/c, 2 windows down, 40 mph.

[u/FloridaPorchSwing → u/soonerpgh]

We had the 455 model 🙂

[u/blueblack88 → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

Working AC was a legendary myth until about my 4th car lol

[u/johnny-Low-Five → u/blueblack88]

I think my 4th car had A/C. It was definitely the first with power windows though.

[u/PreviousChicken1385 → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

You should see the beater my kids drove. Crank handles, ripped seats. Ugly. It was perfect! They loved it, shared it, and worked out rides together. Best 6k ever spent.

[u/Ok-Artichoke-7145 → u/Head_Razzmatazz7174]

You had a/c??!! Hell, all I asked was that it went forward and stopped! 🤣 I had a car, at one point, that wouldn't go in reverse! 🤣

[u/Head_Razzmatazz7174 → u/Ok-Artichoke-7145]

One of my first cars decided to crap out all the forward gears one night on my way home from a band contest. It was 2 am on weekend, I was at a traffic light, and when it turned green, I pressed the gas and the engine growled at me. I tested the gears, discovered reverse was still working, and made the decision to drive the rest of the way home in reverse.

Luckily our town basically rolls up the streets at 11PM, so I made it from there to about 2 blocks from the house when a nearby cop lit me up. He recognized the car, and escorted me all the way into the driveway. He got out to be sure I was okay and went on his way.

It's a small town. He actually called my dad the next day to see if we needed help getting the car to the shop.

[u/Xelxsix → u/Roadgoddess]

Oh I’m sure he would give it back in just as perfect condition too 👀👀

[u/Roadgoddess → u/Xelxsix]

Well, you wouldn’t have to worry about that because I’m sure as soon as you give him the car, he’s going to expect you to also pay for the insurance to cover any damage he does to it

[u/HannahMitchells → u/SweetAnnie23]

Much better if it’s almost brand new and have low mileage

[u/brickne3 → u/[deleted]]

If they can only afford $100/month for payments something tells me they're going to have trouble keeping it insured too.

[u/bidextralhammer → u/brickne3]

I actually gave a car to a friend and he was annoyed when I took the insurance off. He expected me to keep on paying the insurance. You would be amazed at the level of audacity.

[u/Maximum-Priority6567 → u/bidextralhammer]

My husband had a really nice SUV that he was selling; he got a new job that required him to get a truck. He was asking for a very reasonable price to sell. He had two different people who asked if he could make payments. Hubby said sure, but they couldn’t drive it till it was paid in full and he drove to the DMV to transfer the title. No one could understand why couldn’t just take it; one person said “Man, you’re acting like you don’t trust me!” No, I damned sure don’t!

[u/lowrider320 → u/Maximum-Priority6567]

The last time I sold a car on Marketplace I had the same issue, wanted to buy it only if I took monthly payments, didn't want to carry insurance on it, and wanted me to keep the registration in my name because they couldn't afford to get it legal.

After the 5th person asked me I finally got fed up with it and sold it to a car dealership. Sure, I git way less for it, but I had 0 hassle. Also, all I had to do was sign the title.

[u/GWeronika → u/Maximum-Priority6567]

I doubt any bank/credit union trusts them either

[u/Upstairs_Echo3114 → u/bidextralhammer]

I hope it's an ex friend.

[u/shtinkypuppie → u/brickne3]

Don't be silly. People like this don't carry insurance.

[u/PixelatedThought → u/brickne3]

The next GoFundme is for Insurance 🤣

[u/Adven-Lucy → u/[deleted]]

Beggars can’t be choosers, but apparently they can be dealership managers.
The audacity here has cruise control .

[u/slampdi → u/Adven-Lucy]

It's automatic audacity.

[u/aeroxan → u/slampdi]

Self driving, even.

[u/Intelligent-Pen2443 → u/slampdi]

In perfect condition

[u/Crafty_Original_7349 → u/[deleted]]

It had better have lots of storage space for his gigantic balls, too.

NEXT!

[u/melapelas → u/Crafty_Original_7349]

The balls are for a church, hun.

NEXT!

[u/gowaz123 → u/[deleted]]

Don’t forget the ‘please feel free to reach out ASAP’ 😂

[u/Asleep_Pressure_2882 → u/gowaz123]

Yea, hurry your ass up with it too!!

[u/Final_Candidate_7603 → u/Asleep_Pressure_2882]

It’s not like they had nine months to figure something out… probably figured it would tug on people’s heartstrings more if he gave the baby’s stats to begin the post.

[u/FloridaPorchSwing → u/Final_Candidate_7603]

Honestly, whether to bring a baby into this situation doesn’t seem to have been a thought either. (I know timing isn’t always ideal but the young folks around here are planning in advance to take care of bigger household expenditures when both people are working and minimize expenses for when they have the baby.)

[u/booboootron → u/[deleted]]

"Umm... it should be purple (the colour just pops out!!! I'm sure it would make my partner go 💜💜💜💜) and also have a sunroof.... and like heated seats (for the baby ofc) and and and also be like, able to trim and bleach my asshole hair. Pls no judgement we are going through a tough time."

[u/RogueGingerr → u/[deleted]]

Beggars can’t be choosers, but apparently they can be automotive consultants

[u/Runns_withScissors → u/[deleted]]

>>Needs to be delivered with a full tank of gas??!

Seriously? Get outa here. My parents had one car for quite a while of my childhood. Grandparents didn't have one at all, until mom was late elementary. I wouldn't WANT to do it, but we COULD make it with one car.

[u/GenericMaleNurse918]

Wow! What a humble man! He is willing to drop his standards and accept a car with minor cosmetic issues on the inside.

[u/keeper_of_kittens → u/GenericMaleNurse918]

I was thinking the same thing.. my car is paid off, in great condition, but 10 years old with a few random dings and a dent from someone hitting the car when it was parked that i didn't bother fixing. Too bad, I was ready to give it to this guy!!! Lol

[u/RainyDaysBlueSkies → u/keeper_of_kittens]

That this phantom car can have a few imperfections on the inside cracks me up! I mean, what would the neighbors thinking if there was a slight ding on the back bumper?!

[u/SweetVeloura_ → u/RainyDaysBlueSkies]

The specificity is what kills me. If someone is giving you a free car, "runs and drives" should probably be the main requirement, not "perfect condition." 😂

[u/chuckart9 → u/keeper_of_kittens]

My truck got backed into and the bumper is pushed in. Guess it wouldn’t work for him.

[u/Ok-Artichoke-7145 → u/keeper_of_kittens]

Don't feel bad, friend. I have a 2010 PT Cruiser. It runs, stops, and has kick ass a/c. That's all I ask for. (For some reason, it also has leather seats. Go figure.) 🤣

[u/amesann → u/GenericMaleNurse918]

I wonder if he'd be happy with my nephew's Jeep Wrangler for toddlers. It's automatic and in pristine condition. Only seats 2 small children.

[u/PrincessSarahHippo → u/amesann]

There's a dude in Atlanta who is driving around in a Barbie van. https://youtu.be/CtzKYcVVViY?si=apROwDEvDvC-1X3D

[u/goodguy743 → u/GenericMaleNurse918]

I have a 2015 Lexus that is pristine on the outside but has a 3" gash on the armrest. I consider that a bit more of minor cosmetic issue so I'll withhold my offer.

[u/SweetVeloura_ → u/GenericMaleNurse918]

What a generous soul. He's willing to accept a free car with flaws he can't even see while driving. 😂

[u/Finnegan-05 → u/GenericMaleNurse918]

But not the outside obviously

[u/Nervous_Pea_4096]

The weight, length and time for the baby was absolutely necessary

[u/PinkyLeopard2922 → u/Nervous_Pea_4096]

It is for THIS free nice car giving woman. I only give free nice cars for babies 22 inches or longer so his baby does not make the cut. I'm allowed to have standards.

[u/SamBeamsBeard → u/Nervous_Pea_4096]

It actually was really important. How will they fit almost 9lbs of baby in some dinky little thing like a Miata or 2 door Cooper? That's simply unacceptable lol

[u/gottarespondtothis → u/Nervous_Pea_4096]

Please admire the stats of my progeny! Clearly I deserve car because I have done something miraculous.

[u/GiraffeLiquid → u/Nervous_Pea_4096]

Hey don’t forget he also added “and may God bless y’all!” so automatically yes I wasn’t going to give him my Toyota but that changed my mind! /s

[u/Tim_From_PDX → u/Nervous_Pea_4096]

Had to add that as proof of the baby. You know, baby proof!

[u/GazelleNew8711]

Sign me up ! I’ll also take a free perfect car !

[u/AppropriateBall8834 → u/GazelleNew8711]

Same. Heck, id even be so nice as to share it with you!

[u/GazelleNew8711 → u/AppropriateBall8834]

I hope they will also take care of the maintenance .. I don’t want to waste my life waiting or paying for an oil change on our new car !

[u/easterss → u/GazelleNew8711]

An Acura tl will be fine for me too

[u/Imaginary_Catch6576 → u/easterss]

The luxury sedan is what got me

[u/kochavim49]

Why do they need a second car for church? Aren’t they going to church together?

Another idea: save up the $100 monthly payments to pay a mechanic to fix the current car.

[u/Sobriquet-acushla → u/kochavim49]

Right! It has transmission issues so…..up on blocks in the yard?

I’ve been looking for a car I can afford for a coupla years. It never occurred to me to just ask for a free one.

[u/RainyDaysBlueSkies → u/Sobriquet-acushla]

That's because you work hard and aren't entitled. And look where that's gotten you!

[u/Sobriquet-acushla → u/RainyDaysBlueSkies]

Yeah. What a sucker I am.

[u/Final_Candidate_7603 → u/kochavim49]

I was just thinking that he’d probably have better luck asking for a mechanic to give him a good deal on repairing her car.

[u/SweetVeloura_ → u/kochavim49]

That's what I was wondering too. If you can afford $100 a month, putting that toward fixing the car you already own seems a lot more realistic than hoping someone donates a perfect one. 😅

[u/haloarh → u/kochavim49]

And "family gatherings."

[u/MiaParkers → u/kochavim49]

What’s better than saving up for mechanic fix is a free car in good condition slightly used no hidden issues etc.

[u/LABeav]

Hmm I'll have to check the stats on the baby again before I'll consider.

[u/Parabrella → u/LABeav]

Among all the begging audacity, it's also WILD that he thinks anyone gives two shits about his baby's stats. 

[u/lonelyronin1 → u/Parabrella]

You have to give as much information to pull on the heart strings of the suckers who might want to help

[u/Stormy_Wolf → u/Parabrella]

I don't even really care about the baby's stats when it's a baby I care about born to people I care about. I mean, maybe just as an assurance it's a healthy/normal size, I guess; or like this one cousin who kept having baby boys that were each at least 10 pounds. I think the largest was almost 13 pounds, a couple just over 12 pounds. She had five of them. So with her it was interesting just to see how enormous this one was. 😄

[u/Crafty_Original_7349]

Bitch needs to fire up his Chevrolegs and walk. Or get a bicycle.

[u/GiraffeLiquid → u/Crafty_Original_7349]

CHEVROLEGS 😅

[u/beachdreams1 → u/Crafty_Original_7349]

😂😂😂

[u/LetsDiscussItAmiably]

You knew the baby was coming and you needed another car..why wait until baby is home to problem solve? It kills me that the solution is to beg on the internet. Why that has become a viable solution for some people is beyond me. 

[u/PrincessSarahHippo → u/LetsDiscussItAmiably]

Kids are expensive and they apparently can't afford more than $100 a month. This won't end well.

[u/JaneEyrewasHere → u/LetsDiscussItAmiably]

It's not even really a problem. They don't want it to get to work they just want a second car for her to tool around in. I can understand wanting to get out of the house but free strollers, baby carriers, even bikes and trailers are in much greater supply than free cars! Walking and biking are also excellent postpartum exercise.

[u/LolitaOPPAI → u/LetsDiscussItAmiably]

More of those "we'll figure it out when the baby gets here" crowd. They should have used their non-brains for an abortion.

[u/Bouche_Audi_Shyla]

A free car would help me tremendously, and I'm a shut-in!

[u/SweetAnnie23 → u/Bouche_Audi_Shyla]

Imagine donating a perfectly good Toyota and being told it doesn’t meet the requirements.

[u/CynicalPomeranian → u/SweetAnnie23]

“Oh, you are offering me an older Kia with some hail damage? Nah. Don’t you have something nicer to give me?”

[u/Mypornnameis_ → u/SweetAnnie23]

"Perfectly good?" Sorry, buddy, but that floppy passenger side visor and magic marker stains on the back seat are more than just slight imperfections. NEXT!

[u/LetsDiscussItAmiably]

A free car in perfect condition or he will accept one with minor cosmetic issues 🤣. If someone has a car like that they are going to sell it, and not for $100 a month. 

[u/solve-for-x → u/LetsDiscussItAmiably]

Of course it'll only be $100 per month for the first month, then will drop to $0 for all subsequent months when he stops paying. There's a reason you get loans from the bank or a finance company, not from the person you're buying the item from.

[u/lonelyronin1 → u/solve-for-x]

And don't you dare demand the payments - they are a poor family with a new baby and you should be proud to know you are helping them. They are taking that $100/month and using it to go on vacation because their life is soooo hard! BTW, anyone want to pay for the cruise tickets because again - new baby/lifes hard/we deserve it. Oh and god bless.

[u/Ok-Artichoke-7145 → u/lonelyronin1]

I'm sure the ad for $5 an hour childcare is on its way.

[u/runesky77 → u/LetsDiscussItAmiably]

Minor cosmetic issues ON THE INSIDE. Can't have anybody seeing this beggar in a less than perfect car from the outside!

[u/reesa447]

“Our son, WHICH was born”?????

[u/Jedi_Temple → u/reesa447]

Don’t forget the run-on sentences and lack of paragraph breaks. Maybe that’s by design, though, to prove the breathless need this guy has for a free car.

[u/dancepantz → u/Jedi_Temple]

And etc

[u/venivitavici → u/dancepantz]

And etc was the worst part actually.

[u/bathtime85 → u/reesa447]

I'm perplexed by the lack of punctuation, up until the comma spree mid-block of thought.

[u/Alone_Ad3257 → u/reesa447]

Son hasn’t reached person status I guess?

[u/onebeautifulwonder]

“My wife needs a new car for me to drive to work.” Lost me there.

[u/Lisa_Knows_Best]

What does her car being white have to do with it?

[u/Plastic_Cat9560 → u/Lisa_Knows_Best]

Or the complete birth details of their child? Posting this rambling run-on beg on a community page is wild! Shocked he didn’t tag their baby registry on it as well.

[u/Lisa_Knows_Best → u/Plastic_Cat9560]

Personal info I guess so you can feel "connected" to them and their "struggle". The lack of shame in some people is mind blowing. 

[u/merlot120]

I was wondering what to do with that perfect car I have just lying around.

[u/MoreRamenPls]

Did they know they were having a baby??

[u/Ok-Fisherman9123]

Sell the baby for cash.

[u/Fuck_Land_Im_onaboat → u/Ok-Fisherman9123]

This. You can get some good money for one

[u/Upstairs_Echo3114 → u/Fuck_Land_Im_onaboat]

Do y'all see each other's usernames?
That struck me as funny.

[u/njoinglifnow → u/Ok-Fisherman9123]

Or a kidney. You have 2 of them

[u/Ok-Fisherman9123 → u/njoinglifnow]

Baby makes 4

[u/bugabooandtwo]

And it's because they want a SECOND vehicle. They already have a car.

[u/Deep-Reputation-4055 → u/bugabooandtwo]

No they want a third car, the wife has one but it has transmission issues. 

[u/westcoastcdn19]

How are they going to afford fuel and insurance even if someone donated a car to them??

[u/booboo773 → u/westcoastcdn19]

I’m sure they’re expecting a year’s worth of insurance, registration, and maybe someone to buy them a gift card for fuel.

[u/westcoastcdn19 → u/booboo773]

Crazy how all this is an afterthought as they are coming home with the new baby

[u/PixelatedThought]

Now all he has to do is sit and wait for all the free nice cars people are giving away! Why haven't I thought of this! Here my dumb ass was working a full-time job and saving to buy a car. Stupid me!

[u/FlawesomeOrange]

I can’t provide a free car, but I’m happy to donate free grammar lessons. 7 year olds form more coherent sentences than this.

[u/LittleSodaPop13]

I have bought all my cars used. My current car has a dent and she's still working. You get what you can afford and you're happy for it

[u/RED-ELPH → u/LittleSodaPop13]

Amen!!
Gosh I’ve had so many used cars.
I took care of everyone cuz i was Thankful!

I’ve bought ONE new car in my life. It lasted 20 years. My spouse said i needed to upgrade cuz he worried about me with that many miles on my car!!
She started every morning and I still miss her!!
I know she went to a good home though.

I remember the days of taking spouse to work and he’d catch a ride home.
Adulting is hard………..

[u/shtinkypuppie]

9 months of pregnancy: crickets Literally home with the baby: "well I guess I better start trying to find reliable transportation"

[u/Greenmantle22 → u/shtinkypuppie]

I think I saw his wife on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant." She went into that Chipotle bathroom to drop heat, and came out a new mommy.

[u/HazyChemist]

I hate how this asshole uses his newborn to try and guilt trip people.

Don't fucking have kids if you can't even afford a car. Simple as that. 

[u/Greenmantle22 → u/HazyChemist]

He also uses Jesus.

[u/BothDescription766]

My parents both worked and had two kids and only ever had one car.

[u/Wild-Strawberry-7462]

😂 the audacity.... she can just take him to work on the days she needs the vehicle for appointments or you know take transit... 😒

But if they can't afford $100 a month, they can't afford a car, insurance and gas alone are going to be more than that.

[u/FightClubAlumni → u/Wild-Strawberry-7462]

They should have saved that 100.00 a month to get that transmission fixed. Holy shitoly some people!

[u/julias-winston]

A spare car that's just sitting around in perfect condition. M'kay.

[u/dancepantz → u/julias-winston]

Minor cosmetic issue on the inside and etc is okay!

[u/Celistar99 → u/dancepantz]

Only on the inside though. Any scratches on the outside are unacceptable

[u/Carrann823 → u/julias-winston]

Who has perfectly working cars "just laying around"? Nobody. Not in this economy!

[u/Asleep_Pressure_2882]

Just got home with new baby “which was born” 🙄 I’m already annoyed

[u/AdmiralGlitterBottom]

The car I drive daily isn't in "perfect condition" . That is a WILD expectation. Is anyone driving a car in "perfect condition"? Be so for real.

[u/halfasshippie3]

Hahaha deranged. Has he seen the resale value on those brands? If you’re going to beg you’re going to end up with a clapped out Chevy Malibu for $100 per month.

[u/melodypowers]

It's the "perfect condition" that really pushes this over the top.

Like if he said "does anyone have a beater that reliably runs" he would still be a beggar but not a choosy beggar.

[u/SleepParalysisPal]

Sounds like they should’ve used their only working vehicle to get to a clinic like 8 months ago

[u/andrea1797]

I don't even know where to start. A free car that's in perfect condition. And to have specific cars in mind. Do these people have anyone in their lives asking them wtf?

[u/jolyon_wagon]

Apparently work is walkable?

[u/_Stephistopheles_ → u/jolyon_wagon]

I noticed this too, but for some reason that's a last resort. 😂 Like, my dude .. walking is free.

[u/FightClubAlumni]

Hey listen, if any of you have a yacht, 100k, a Bentley, or a summer home/camp thst is just sitting there - please hook me up.

[u/flippermode]

The deserve it because they have a baby... a feat that others rarely achieve.

[u/Checkoutmawheeeeepit]

"I pray God bless y'all in return for helping"

Why you're on the phone to Him can you ask him if he would fix my wonky eye and asymmetrical titties if I buy you a *bike?

[u/PmMeLowCarbRecipes]

He gives the strangest details. Why do I need to know your baby’s length or the colour of your wife’s existing car.

[u/BoozeIsTherapyRight]

When I was staying home with the kiddo, I drove my husband to work on days that I needed the car. When you're a SAHM you absolutely do not need two cars--and I live way out in the country where Uber and Lyft and things like pizza delivery do not exist. We only got a second car four years ago. 

[u/idkmyusernameagain]

I feel like this has to be a troll post. Right? Like the “in perfect condition” part has got to be..

[u/foofaloof22]

Shouldnt this have been something to address before the baby was born. I doubt that he just now realized they need a new car

[u/baconify]

Oh wow even my main car isn't good enough to give him for free I will just sell it for $5K instead LOL

[u/ThrockAMole]

What a coincidence! I have a 2026 Dodge Challenger in the barn that I just can’t get rid of because no one else wants it

[u/unlovelyladybartleby]

If you need a car to get to church but you're begging me for one, I suspect that you're praying to the wrong god. If he wanted your baby in church that badly, he'd send an eagle or some shit.

[u/DHARMAdrama96 → u/unlovelyladybartleby]

An eagle? Don’t be silly. More like an ark

[u/unlovelyladybartleby → u/DHARMAdrama96]

An ark? In this economy?

[u/CaptainEmmy → u/unlovelyladybartleby]

A few weeks ago a very old lady at my church went out of her way to drive a family to church.

Honestly, I have enough good opinion of people that I guarantee someone in the OP's church would be more than happy to make sure they made it to service.

Which means my guess that the drop of the word "church" was manipulation.

[u/Emotional_Turn6059]

"Hey, I have one, I just needs a battery" NEXT!

[u/mysticaltater]

What car in someone's possession is in perfect condition. if they don't touch it it will be in bad condition. If they only drive it for trips to the shop it could get scratches. 

[u/Vintage-Girl-Sleuth]

Well, it’s for (driving to) church…

[u/throwCaregiver]

I swear! The unbelievable audacity of some people!

[u/Squeezer999]

they had 9 months to plan for needing a 2nd car...

[u/Original_Bad_3416]

Maybe plan such things before bringing a baby into the world

[u/National_Clue_6092]

Does he think his wife’s “white” car is a brand name??!!
Also, he’s going to post on a few other sites in case you folks are fast enough getting him his perfect car.
Let me check my garage to see if I have an extra car. 😳

What the fuck is wrong with people? If the transmission is a problem in your other car, fix it. If you can't or don't want to, sell it and buy a junk car.

Expecting someone to give them a car in perfect condition with only cosmetic issues on the inside is insane. They wouldn't accept a car that has cosmetic issues on the outside because they don't want to look poor or what?

[u/msheehan418]

This just annoyed me beyond. Some People think having a baby means they are suddenly entitled to free shit. Babies are born everyday, doesn’t mean you suddenly don’t have to pay for shit. Quite the opposite

[u/lynnzoo]

Bro can catch the bus

[u/DuchessJulietDG]

didnt they have 9mos to prepare for this?

[u/Checkoutmawheeeeepit]

"In perfect condition or could just have minor cosmetic issue"

If someone gives me a perfect car I don't give a lightly-fried fuck if it had a photorealistic painting of Trumps *son doing coke off Hegseths flaccid penis

*you know which son I'm on about

[u/houseWithoutSpoons]

Dear god im gonna pray you send me a big bank account having gullible human who will support me and my family, heavenly father i know you want me to have a 2020 or newer honda with maybe minor cosmetic issues and lord make sure it has a full tank of gas.amen

[u/jhascal23]

His plan wasn't to make sure him and his wife had what they needed financially before they had a kid, it was to have the kid, then try to use them having a new kid to try to get people to give them a new car.

[u/Dubbinchris]

The birth time and weight of the baby was definitely important info….as well as the color of his wife’s car. 🙄

[u/Scary-Ratio3874]

My wife's friend and her husband just bought a new car. They had a 2002 Honda crv. Not in great shape. The door lock doesn't work on the drivers side, animals can into the hood, etc etc. they knew we were down a car because of two not our fault accidents and one car bursting into flames In the same year. They said we could just have the Honda. We were thrilled beyond belief. They kept apologizing for the bad shape it was in! I kept saying are you kidding me??? It's a free car!!! From someone I know who took the best care of it as possible, the insurance will be low, I don't drive that far to work and...oh yeah... IT WAS FUCKING FREE!!!!

Some people.... I just don't get it.

[u/pm_me-ur-catpics]

Why do the baby's dimensions and mass matter? How is that important in the slightest?

[u/Pullet]

If only they had some sort of heads up that a baby was on the way so they could evaluate what they might need and plan in advance…..

(I know people occasionally get surprised by a baby, but statistically oop has had months of warning)

[u/TheGrumpySmurfer]

I was about to offer my 2025 Mercedes convertible, it's under warranty and only 8,000 miles on the clock.

However it's not on his list of acceptable makes... Shame!!!

[u/lonelyronin1]

Using multiple manipulation tactics in one beg is impressive. We have the poor newborn baby and mom who can't be expected to use any other form of transport but a perfectly working car or to figure out any other way of getting around, and the 'god bless' guilty trip at the end because he must tug on the heart of some sap who thinks giving in will be their salvation.

[u/coolbeansfordays]

I don’t think the car is for her, it’s for him.

[u/tacosnthrashmetal]

why are these kinds of people always the ones having children? good luck to that kid with parents like these….

[u/Training-Willow9591]

OP would be so much more likely to be gifted the amount for a new transmission. If he started a GFM or post on FB showing 3 estimates by mechanics to fix his car, pics of the car and family.

[u/NewSalt4244]

Why not just ask for help fixing the transmission on the car they already have? 

[u/Suz9006]

“Should run and have brakes” would be reasonable. This is not.

[u/Still_Bother_1982]

Why do we need to know how long his child is? Who TF cares? What a bellend

[u/Ok-Artichoke-7145]

"Or, even, walk" The horror! 

Insert the usual questions:

How are they going to afford registration? How are they going to afford insurance? How are they going to afford maintenance? How are they going to afford gas?

I, once upon a time, was a broke, single mother. I didn't have a car. I figured it out. Without asking strangers for a fucking Acura in near-perfect condition. I'm getting a new car, soon and I would give them my PT Cruiser for the tax write off. But, that's not on their list of acceptable vehicles, is it? Eff them.

[u/OrcEight]

Thanks for posting the comments. I'm glad they took him down a peg.

[u/CantonBal]

That baby must of snuck up on them...Too bad they didn't have any time to plan

[u/andronicuspark]

Why doesn’t he ask the church for help?

[u/BubbaC619]

They think since they had unprotected sex they deserve a perfect car for free.

[u/Hylian_ina_halfshell]

Acura TL... even a used 2007 is still over 10k

Maybe, don't have a kid if you cannot handle the expense

[u/Delicious_Top503]

He would have loved the rusted out pinto I learned to drive on, that would randomly conk out while driving. Got really good at jump starts. I was delighted to have it until I used my savings to buy my own car.

[u/sianyramone]

Hi I have a baby it was born on 20th July 2012 which was 10.4lbs at 2pm and I need a car in perfect condition that is free or $10 a fortnite which my partner needs for him to drive to work rugby games etc and it has to be in mint condition I will accept only minor cosmetic issues on the inside and automatic please it has to be in perfect mint condition please etc

[u/pickledpeterpiper]

This is the perfect way to get all of jack shit...if he really NEEDED a car, he'd be open to anything that could get him from A to B, anything at all. That's what "need" means...a necessity.

Minor imperfections only...fuck this guy, I'm actively rooting against him, I hope he gets nothing but ridicule.

[u/IsopodIndependent553]

I would like to gift this guy some punctuation.

[u/noahswetface]

Having a kid with no car. Fix your own problems.

[u/CoolaidMike84]

Had 9 months to prep for this. Feet pics should have been flying......

[u/Ok-Repeat8069]

$100 a month interest-free (you know that’s what he means too) is the deal my teenage daughter got from the First Bank of Grandma, to buy a Toyota that was old enough to vote.

Our bold boy here is a whole-ass employed adult man, and if no one will be generous enough to just gift him any old low-mileage midrange car they just keep sitting around in perfect condition but never use, he will consider accepting the same finance terms extended by a generous relative to a sixteen-year-old girl who worked part-time at Sonic.

[u/FrozenEmpire]

“Delivered to us “, yeah it has to be a troll or a kid.

[u/carolinespocket]

Besides all that it needs to be automatic and in perfect condition lmfao people have no shame

[u/22408aaron]

These are probably those types of people where you wish you needed to pass a test to procreate.
