    My first reaction to that random guy bidding: "what a c*nt" seconds later "what an angel!"
  • He wasnt about to let a kid spend his life savings for his deceased fathers car. We need people like this
  • @frogmouth2
    The man knew a kid shouldn’t have to waste so much money just for the memory of his dad. What a dude.

    I just bought my father's car. He passed away last month so I know how he feels. Happy to hear it worked out.
  • @powellpker
    he even clapped for the guy when he lost the bidding.. What a good kid
  • The fact that the kid clapped when the guy outbid him shows just how much of a man he is, he didn’t let the rage blind him.
  • This truly restored my faith in humanity.

  • @jezwc
    Wow this is an incredible story. The boy claps for the man who just crushed his dreams. Then that same stranger gifts it over. Both gentleman are heroes in my book and exemplary humans. Lovely story
  • The ending was so wholesome
  • @bsilkwood8272
    Dude just spent over 16k to make a kid happy. Thumbs up man!
  • @bystander_1893
    Imagine if the dude didn’t give him the car and just left
  • @solidsnakedred
    I appreciate the "stranger" and I appreciate the son being raised properly and getting out of that chair for a hug. Be a blessing to others not a nightmare
  • @exdre8559
    I bet at first he was like: what a scumbag he literally bought my dad's car
  • @iepineapple
    A good car, a sad story, and that man who out bid everyone was a real hero here. Hope this young guy's doing well
  • @ghostinng274
    I feel like that guy was willing to spend as much money as possible to help him get his dad's car back. What a damn legend.
