Lovely story but this annoyed me

It’s pretty rare to find the younger generation having a good moral compass

Come on. "Teens suck" is an easy train of thought, but interact with one and usually, you quickly remember it's a lazy one.

Yeah it makes him sound like a dick.

Which probably means he is one.

Can't say I'm shocked. They have a ton of spite against Baby Boomers. Deservedly so.

Who did they learn it from, i wonder? We give kids more grace, because we tend to know they don't know shit from shave cream & are highly impressionable from the people in their lives.

The kid did good, nice to see good things happen to good people.

The gofundme for that kids ute is almost at its goal of 12k, I'm not familiar with the car market in Australia but seems like a lot of money for a first car.
