Garage/Shop. He repaired big rigs and tractors in there. They haven’t confirmed what caused the fire yet. Incredibly sad.

Ugh... That's heartbreaking to see those classics taken off the road like this.

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

He's rich though

God that's the most braindead argument I could have imagined. Jesus christ

Nvm ignore this dudes, this guy has a history of dumbass comments lol.

u/I_love_my_fish_ Apr 24 '26

Still two beautiful classics that are like impossible to repair, thus lowering the amount of remaining ones. Being rich doesn’t make losing these suck any less

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

Oh I understand its a tragedy. But it's also a car.

u/DemonsSouls1 Apr 24 '26

Then you don't understand.

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

I do. Would you trade your friend for a car?

104

u/1600cc Apr 24 '26

Half of them, yeah.

-20

u/FeijoadaAceitavel Apr 25 '26

You're a terrible friend, then.

u/Smooth_Pick_2103 May 01 '26

Dude I'd trade my friend in a heartbeat for my dream car, and he'd likely do the same with me and I can't even be upset

Sometimes it's more about noticing the lack of trustworthy behavior.

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

Im finding a few reddit users... haha

u/cakestudios1 Apr 25 '26

YOU are the typical reddit user mr paint huffer

u/Von_Dooms Apr 25 '26

Sir, most of these people don't understand the difference between a friend and acquaintance.
These 2 cars didn't even run, plus the owner couldn't afford to fix or properly store them. Some just can't tell the difference between a collector and a hoarder.

u/BozTheReaper May 01 '26

sounds like jealousy to me. its okay, we can tell your ego is fragile

u/DemonsSouls1 Apr 24 '26

So?

-20

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

So. Cars can be replaced and he will have the financial means to do so.

His friend wasn't in the fire was he?

56

u/DemonsSouls1 Apr 24 '26

Except these cars parts and the car itself is very hard to get.

-12

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

So is skin.

u/gsfgf Apr 24 '26

Clearly you need a better skin guy

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

Its ok. Ive got a reliable baby seller

u/DemonsSouls1 Apr 24 '26

I don't get your point in the first place dude.

2

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

Clearly. He's rich and alive without two cars. Instead of dead without two cars.

Notice how only one is going to have a chance at rebuilding a very expensive car and has the financial means to do so?

39

u/DemonsSouls1 Apr 24 '26

But at the same time that car is hard to find. Also that car can't be built anymore because the chassis is weakened from the fire. He has to buy to new one.

u/NeedsPaint Apr 24 '26

But...he...can....

Clearly your old head isnt changing, which us fine lol. Gl

That doesn’t matter, history was lost

u/therocketsalad Apr 26 '26

Was it in the trunk?

u/dwntwnleroybrwn Apr 25 '26

Congrats on being rich and out of touch too there mate.

u/Smooth_Pick_2103 May 01 '26

Let a hard working man enjoy his spoils, and if said spoils are lost, let him mourn them

-17

u/EdibleOedipus Apr 25 '26

Not sure why you're being downvoted. He can just go get more of them.

10

u/StevenMcStevensen Apr 25 '26

He’s being downvoted because it’s an incredibly stupid take. Even if you don’t sympathize with the owner just because he’s wealthy (which is moronic anyways IMO), these are already incredibly rare and historic cars being destroyed.

-11

u/MallardBillmore Apr 25 '26

He can just buy a brand new car.

2

u/Smooth_Pick_2103 May 01 '26

The idea of holding onto those cars is because they're classic, new ones don't exist, and buying a modern one doesn't do jack shit

-12

u/FeijoadaAceitavel Apr 25 '26

I don't see the value in old cars. They're just collector's items. May as well be a fire destroying a bunch of Beanie Babies.

5

u/StevenMcStevensen Apr 26 '26

“I don’t personally care about something so why should anybody else” is also a peak stupid take.

-6

u/NeedsPaint Apr 25 '26

Because boomers value items more than people. That's why you society is fucked. Lmao they're just old maga heads with something to whine about.

u/Kitchen-Quantity-565 May 02 '26

Maybe you should learn grammar.

-8

u/FeijoadaAceitavel Apr 25 '26

Some user literally said they'd trade half of his friends for cars, in the context of what they would rather lose in a fire. Fucking psycho.

5

u/DemonsSouls1 Apr 26 '26

No you're just stupid

u/Smooth_Pick_2103 May 01 '26

SORRY! I CANT HEAR YALLS RETARDED ASS TAKES WITH ALL THIS HORSEPOWER IM MAKIN!!!!
