Seriously...

Wow! I missed the original post. But it sounds like someone tried to get funding for their build.

A guy at work posted a gfm for a Lamborghini. It was a joke. He put that he really wants one but is lazy and doesn't want to work and said he would give a ride to any givers. One girl scolded him for it so He wrote a response " no ride for you". Believe it or not he got a couple donations. He never cashed it out, just wanted to see what would happen.

He knows what a nice 455 build would cost because hes hoping to get 10k LOL. Some people have a lot of nerve.
I'd like one myself but my wife won't give me the funds until I blow my 350 up haha. Plus the fact, I'm getting cheap now that 50 candles landed on top of my birthday cake this month damit!!

That was his first post and I hope his last. What a schmuck. I hope this was posted as a joke. Otherwise I hope his 350 blows and he raises $5.00 or less.

The guy that I mentioned at work did his as a joke because of some of the unbelievable reasons people were asking for help. One example from go fund me was she partied away her rent money and needed rent money and food for her kids. Looooosssserrrr.

Quickly rethought, deleted in 5 minutes. I work way too hard for my money to just give it away. I COULD use some cash for a 455 build though.
So far no donations and I don't see that changing.

Me too, it's not in my allowance, I have to do with my smallblock for now. 50 is around the corner for me also. I will have those pics of the Buckets sent to you soon, Eric.

And he has not been back since... What is it with people? They expect everyone else to pay for things they can't afford. I've seen go fund me's for people to get married, have kids, hobbies, etc... If you can't pay for it, don't do it! These sites are enabling a new class of people, the freeloader class.
