Default Today at Freddies...

I got out of my IS350 and stopped for a second to respond to an email on my PDA and a dude came up to me and asked for a jump. At first I thought it was the usual "Can I have a buck for gas" scamms. But the dude was serious. I looked over and he had an F250 V10 super duty pulled in across some spots with a huge trailer on the back. Told him sure, pulled up the IS350 and gave him a jump. Now, when it was done I thought of the irony of the whole thing. It had to take some ***** on his part to ask a Lexus for a jump

Just glad he didn’t ask for a tow

Why would it take anymore ***** to ask someone with a Lexus for a jump as opposed to anything else?

I don't see the connection or irony between an IS350 and a Ford Truck. Please explain.

Someones car breaks down and he asks someone else for a jump, I don't see any irony in that. The only circumstance where it would be an irony would be if a new luxury car like an S550 or LS460 asks someone with a ~$1000 car for a jump.

I don't get it either? Are you trying to say that his v10 ford truck has too much power to ask a v6 3.5 liter is350 for a jump? Well if a truck was a v4 2.5 liters than it won't be much of a truck. I don't think theres much comparison between a truck and a luxury sedan.

PS: my neck is pretty red cause of sunburn, lol.

hmmm, since he said it was a redneck area, maybe the "rednecks" there look down upon all japanese cars (small displacement, small dimensions, not american made) and a prime redneck specimen (w/ F250 and trailer) has no choice but the ask a for a jump from a japanese car? is that right?

I think I am over analyzing this topic....

When someone asks you that they are out of gas and their car is broken down the block and if they can have a dollar for gas. People have also used "My girlfriend is about to have a baby and we are out of gas can i get some change" also "Can i get a ride to _______ because its an emergency" and so on. the first time it happened to me i locked the car and ran.. haha now im used to it and just say no and walk off.

people stand at a gas station and collect dollar bills all day?

this is a nice scam, have a girl (any girl) go to a gas station, ask for the bathroom key.. while leaving the bathroom accidently drop a ring, pretend she cant find it, and then tell the gas guy that its really important and she'll pay whoever finds it 1000$ cash, and give him a business card, and she leaves - then you dress up like a homeless man and get a shopping cart to push around with some cans in it, and walk by the bathroom... bend over and find.. ooooh this $1000 ring, (make sure the gas clerk sees you)

look at it nicely and smile knowing its worth alot, and walk away (past the clerk) he'll offer to buy it from you since he knows its worth 1k, u can get a couple hundred, and then walk off, take off the disguise and jump in your or your girls is350 laughing, because the ring was really worth about 25 cents, and the business card given to the store clerk didn't have her number on it
w000t

saw that one in a movie somewhere
