You're right sammy, your mechanical knowledge puts you way ahead of some of these poor(literally) bastards.

There's no doubt that bad decisions play a big part in being that poor, or sometimes limited intelligence, but other times a crappy family situation and a desire to leave school early and get a job to help mom and her 14 welfare babies can leave a fellow perpetually broke for life.

I'd be willing to bet money the above vehicle belongs to a person with an honest job, and not a welfare recipient. Just a guess, but i'd make a gentleman's bet on it.
