it would be a lot easier to laugh along with yall if anyone was actually helping. The only money donated so far has been my own.

You have gotten multiple suggestions (which you’ve ignored) because you are married to the idea of the go fund me because instead of doing something helpful and useful you need to be the hero to these two young ladies. You clearly want to help them, which is great, but in your mind the only way to do it is to buy them new cars and be their knight in shining armor.

man, you gotta just relax. this is a real post, your feelings about your friends are getting you mad on the internet. you were always going to get made fun of for this thready, that's a fact, but there are lots of other things you can do to help your friends other than asking strangers on the internet, or buying them a new car (??)

you do straight up come off as a bit manic, so just remember this thread is not life, the forums are not life, and you have not failed your friends. you've been up all night and you're posting like it: log off

- Blast him on FB/social
- take him to small claims court
- literally do anything else besides set up a GoFundMe

those are at least two of them I've seen in this thread but instead you've been obsessed with protecting your honor or some poo poo and fighting with people rather than doing the bare minimum that doesn't involve a GFM

In fact, it's not at all heroic that you want other people to do your work. You're asking everyone else to give you money so you can be the hero, which is unheroic as heck dude!

Small claims court would be way below the amount of money we are talking about here

and you can try to say I am doing this for selfish reasons all you want. I tried to offer a way to remove myself from the scenario.

He's the one causing the problems. You'd need the two women to be on board fully with what was suggested though. Just curious, whats the reason he has given for not giving them the cars?

So, as I said, you aren’t looking for advice, you just want money for the GFM which is literally the “least amount of effort” thing you can do. You know what’s a good thing you could do for free? Have them talk to a lawyer to see if they’ve even got a case (they do). If this guy’s that much of a scum bag gently caress his life up or at least put a little fear into him.

Or just wait for a GFM that’ll never happen while your friends are potentially sexually assaulted by the guy that also stole money from them.

What she said made me feel good. So I blushed. What's the problem here? She made it clear she appreciated what I was doing. That made me happy.

everyone I am done with this thread. Forget about it. I am moving on to another idea. I'm glad everyone was able to get so much amusement out of this. I am a pathetic neckbeard that is desperate for approval from these women so much that I would buy them cars for attention. Yes that is exactly what is going on here.

Serious suggestion, OP. It's a tough situation, your friends really need your support, clearly, and you're doing a good thing trying to help them, even if your plan didn't work out exactly how you wanted. There are some tried and true steps, however, you can take to help them. Just remember, as unfortunate as their circumstances might be, you are not the first to find yourself in this situation. People have been dealing with similar stuff for ages, and every step has been honed and perfected to ensure the best result with the least amount of headache. First, look up who the sheriff in your county is, then write and record a rap song about how much that other guy sucks, make it go viral, get invited on national television, receive two cars from President Biden, and finally give the cars to your friends.

Sad news friends. Post kntfkr has revealed has revealed themselves as a ROGUE and VILLAIN. They took advantage of the fact that I am a cartoon character with no free will to swindle me into TOTALLY UNWITTINGLY signing over the title to this car. They placed a piece of paper in front of me and asked to me sign. Of course I assumed it was an autograph request so I did so without hesitation. Apparently it was a Transfer of Title.

OP as the forums FOREMOST EXPERT in Swindled Car Recovery I ask your assistance in creating a gofundme to replace this loss.


In the meantime I will be driving by backup vehicle, but it's just not the same.
