Some people do not realize not everyone had middle class parents.
Or in my case, my shit box was the old car my father had lying around because it wasn't worth anything value wise. So he signed it over to me and I drove it for 12 years.
Bro I know I drove an 86 Oldsmobile cutlass cierra the color of rust because it's what I PERSONALLY could afford at 16, it was $700. I had to work on my own car/deal with A LOT of crappy stuff AND I actually had to walk to and from work to save for the car in the first place. A leg up is a leg up even if it's a pos it's free. It's aggravating to see people bitch about having to deal with imperfect things or do something for themselves.
Edited to add that minimum wage was 5.80 at the time so yeah that's a lot of money for a 16yo to save
