Oh well, at least it prevented them slamming full speed onto someone on the ground...

If he was going through the AFF program then he had an AAD device on him, that's part of the program (I am certified skydiver).

I had awesome credit and money in the bank, but when my mother got cancer and I had to take almost a year off work to help take care of her (GM's insurance is shitty)...my credit score plummeted and I had to file bankruptcy last year.

I still haven't driven my $500 GTV 6 I bought in 2007. Turns out the body was held together by paint. Didn't start poking at it with a screwdriver until I got it home. Found an $800 '75 Alfetta GT in the junkyard with a bizarrely rust free body. Combining the two is my long term project. Somehow I still don't…

First Jalopnik link my Girlfriend clicked on. Slowly she's becoming a car person.

Exactly. The only part they got wrong, was not doing the transaction at the DMV.

I bought a 'cheap' Alfa GTV-6 a few years ago. Even though it could use several grand in sorta non-critical repairs it's still a reliable enough driver.

Proof that despite what has become common place with many dealership practices, someone comes through to help out someone in need. Awesome!

So let's see, a guy buys a BMW, non-running without doing a proper diagnosis or research into worst-case scenarios, attempts to build a race car on zero budget, and complains when his bad plan doesn't come to fruition? How is this the car's fault again?

Funny description aside, I actually did buy a 328, non-running…

Considering how convincing fakes are hear days, and how sophisticated scammers have gotten, it seems like this kind of thing should be standard in every state.

The corporate-state medical system in the USA was designed to extract as much wealth out of the population as possible. One has to go back to the beginning more than a century ago to understand the progression. Everything is working as designed.

Ever been that broke? When you have no money, finding money for a laptop to look for work, or money to be able to ride the bus to interviews, or money for clothes to fit a new job's dress code, etc... it's fucking frightening. Poverty is a self fulfilling cycle. Add in a serious illness that was unexpected and…

I dunno, seems like they were doing things the right way. They had a need for a vehicle with certain characteristics, they *saved the cash,* didn't go further into debt, and bought a car on the private, used market. None of those decisions sounds particularly unsound to me. In fact, if they had come on Jalopnik and…

I don't know the details of their financial situation, but you would be very surprised how fast medical expenses can drain your account. Even in the age of Obamacare...insurance companies do not really like to pay for even necessary stuff.

It's wonderful to hear some good news! Right Way Automotive.........you are awesome!

There's that faith in humanity thing again

I hope Right Way Automotive gets a lot of business, good people deserve good things to happen to them.
