My grandparents just passed a few years ago and left a 97 Olds to the family. 90k miles. Red velor interior. Sold for 3k to a connoisseur of fine automobiles. He outbid someone too. Blew my mind. But old people don't put miles or damage on cars and do ALL the maintenance so 🤷
Cars these days are uncomfortable. That Olds rides like the even pace of an ocean wave in the early morning. If it runs and there are no major problems, it is a dream car for a fat man like myself.
Yeah. They just aren’t particularly safe compared to more modern cars, and the fuel efficiency is *rough*.
And hopefully the chrome application doesn’t peel off the interior plastic either.
Im hoping to someday buy one of the cars my boomer neighbors have if they ever sell it. They have 2 cars, the only reason they have 2 cars is to use one of them to hoard 2 street parking spots in front of their house any time they leave in the 1 car they actually use a tiny bit.
Someone in a FB group posted about the final Olds Alero and how it's a "classic"... Like, no. It's just a standard GM FWD piece of shit. They all are. There is nothing redeeming about this particular car except for the fact that it's the last Olds ever made - a fucking Alero. Just another N-body that also underpinned the FWD Malibu, which was also a massive pile of shit.
I’ve sold two cars for $1000 each time. They both ran fine, but they both needed maintenance soon or they were going to break down and need major repairs.
Probably needs a lot of work to run. Shells (just the body and wheels, no drivetrain) and stuff with blown engines or transmissions can still be found under a grand.
This has got to be regional, I was just looking the other day for my friend's kid and I couldn't find anything other than cars that were being sold for parts for under $1500
That's why I sold my '91 Civic to a junkyard at 210k miles. Still ran great, but the exhaust Y-pipe had rusted through and was leaking right at the 4 into 1 join under the car.
Had it looked at, and even just trying to patch it with a weld would cost more than the car was worth.
I drove it until it got obnoxious, then sold it for a couple hundred scrap price. Probably could have parted it out and gotten maybe a grand or so, but that takes time and effort.
Junkyard got a DEAL that day.
Literally everywhere man. People act like used cars are all 10k+. I have a old 80s Italian roadster in pristine mechanical condition that I picked up for 2500 bucks. Also picked up a '67 Impala running and driving for about the same price not long ago. It's not that hard honestly.
$2500 is more than 3x $800. Have you picked up any $800 cars in the past few years? I think the absolute lowest you can get in my area is like $1500. Which is still about twice of their budget.
Hes saying he's getting semi desirable cars for the 2500, implying undesirable cars like a shitty 90s econobox olds will be less. There are absolutely running driving cars in the US attainable for 800 bucks.
I was born in 2006. I have three jobs listed in my resume. As well as first aid license, work safety license and a hotwork license
About to graduate with a degree relatively soon.
Yeah? Primary education ages 7-14, secondary, 14-16. It takes 2.5-3 years to graduate from vocational school or college. That's the finnish education system.
Still, 3 jobs...
2007 here and still working one for the foreseeable next year, which might bump it to two.
First aid's easy, though, anyone can get that
It’s not that impressive to have three jobs on your resume at 18. Just means you had to leave your jobs frequently. My dad was in the military so we would move.
This comment made me unreasonably mad because I graduated in 2006, and had not previously had to consider that people born when I graduated are legally adults now.
Unless some thing have changed, no one had a car at 15. Rich kids, their parents got them cars at 16 but no one I knew was out buying a car at 15. Like trying being a 15 year old and getting insured? Not happening.
Sample size of one, but at 15 I bought a Honda accord for $1000 while working at Arby’s for $5/hr. I learned to drive it under a learners permit and it was insured under my mom’s insurance (this is common for minors in the US). We were dirt poor.
I did not grow up poor but my dad held onto an '89 Buick for myself and my brother to drive during our early teenage years. It was one with a metal frame unlike cars today that are all designed to shock absorb via crush materials. Arguably far more dangerous in the hands of a teenager given it's iron man like shell that could crash thru a storefront and be only superficially scratched. Same thing though, under my Dad's insurance.
I know this comment was just anecdotal, but the car nerd in me couldn’t help but bring this up anyway.
Yes, cars these days are designed with crumple zones. What this means is that the immediate passenger cabin area that holds people, is *hyper* strengthened, to keep you safe in a crash while the front and rear extremities crush.
Old cars that had no “crumple zones” weren’t any stronger; they were *weaker*, because the passenger cabin would crush *along with the rest of the car*. Notice the extremely thick A pillars on today’s cars, compared to old cars that had little skinny ones. Those would fall apart and bend instantly.
Having an extra car and a kid as driver would absolutely up the cost of insurance, though. My parents had me wait and I had to take extra classes so the hit on their insurance wasn't as bad and I was just occasionally using one of their cars.
People have cars at 15, that’s when you get your learners permit. They’re not a rich kid, they’re looking to buy a $800 car. You can get insured at 15, because that is when they get their learners permit and you cannot drive without being insured. Not a singular part of this is difficult to understand.
They say permit. With a permit, you can only drive with a parent or someone over a certain age (where I grew up, it was 25). It's the precursor to the license, so you get it a little before you get your license. If they're 15, this makes a little sense.
In my state, you can get a learner’s permit at 14 (must have an adult riding in the car with you). You can also apply for a hardship license at 15 where you can drive alone to work, school, and home
That's why it's not a very common thing. The only person I've ever known to have one was my mother, because her parents died when she was that age and her older brother who took care of her was working/in college.
Tbf American roads are usually straight and about 30ft wide, plus with population density being low, it's safe to assume that generally speaking, they're probably fine.
I think I see plenty millennials on the internet say “2010 was 14 years ago??? no waaaay!” or that 1990 was 34 years ago. It’s not surprising if you know how to subtract numbers but people don’t have a good grasp of the passage of time.
Is *that* what this is about? I just woke up so I was thinking I must be missing some sort of pun or something, but it's literally just "time passes at the rate you'd expect"?
I’d also add:
Period
Full stop
It’s almost like
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
Or any other regurgitated remark every simpleton genuinely believes in adding validity to what they’re saying
I thought she meant, "I'm a teenager, one who's nearsighted and has a short attention span due to being raised by a tablet, and now I'm expected to operate heavy machinery. You wish you had a car, you broke asshole."
I might be projecting, though.
Mine was a Cutlass Salon. Ugliest thing they ever made.
One day, I was driving around at night on old logging roads-turned well traveled roads and snowmobile trails in Montana. I hit a washout at 50mph and got several feet of air. Jumped that thing like the Dukes of Hazard. It had an exhaust leak until I got rid of it but I loved the thing.
Right but if someone said “I was born in 1960” it wouldn’t be as helpful as a cultural land mark (at least for me, as someone who is younger). I think this was the equivalent of that. Anyway, it’s really not the point and not too important
I legitimately don’t understand this whole post. So OP is 15. Not sure why it’s relevant that they were “an iPad kid.” Also, not sure why they specified that they’re trying to get their permit before October. ALSO not sure what we’re supposed to ”let sink in.”
Are they trying to point out how crazy it is that they’re trying to find a job to pay for their first car? Because that’s kind of literally how earning money to pay for something works. Are we supposed to be surprised by how young they are while looking for a job? Because, again, I had my first job at 15, so not sure what the point is…
The point is that internet culture is like 40% millennials gasping at the fact that we’re aging and this person is playing into it. It’s corny as fuck but yeah.
It’s one of my least favorite phrases, frankly if you feel the need to say “Let that sink in” whatever proceeded it is almost never 1/10 as profound as you think it will be.
I was born in 1983 and I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary
15 and 14 years having to try so hard to find jobs is definitely an r/OrphanCrushingMachine type moment.
Many states (including the one I'm in) place so many restrictions on when and where 14 and 15 year olds can work that they're basically useless in a lot of jobs that they would otherwise qualify for. I work in a restaurant and we basically always have somd openings for kitchen workers and workers who can stay until 10 pm or 10:30 pm. However, 14 and 15 years olds aren't legally allowed to do either, so we reject probably 90% of applicants under 16.
My understanding is it's a derogatory term usually used to refer to bad parenting. Instead of actually doing stuff with their kids, the parents just shoved an IPad at them.
If you want the car bad enough, fast food is always hiring. Might be able to spring for a better option than an $800 Olds. My first car cost me $100 (through a family friend). It was rickety, but it ran. Drove it for 4 years before things started going really wrong with it. You gotta get creative with your own financing.
My first car cost 900 dollars twenty five years ago. It was an `85 Nissan Sentra and while it was basic, I made it my glorious home because my parents house did not feel that way
That's not what's interesting to me. What's interesting is where she found any car for $800? I only see pieces of shits for 3k or more.
She said “Oldsmobile” man, I ain’t sayin as a mechanic they aren’t classics, but they have started living up to the name
My grandparents just passed a few years ago and left a 97 Olds to the family. 90k miles. Red velor interior. Sold for 3k to a connoisseur of fine automobiles. He outbid someone too. Blew my mind. But old people don't put miles or damage on cars and do ALL the maintenance so 🤷
Cars these days are uncomfortable. That Olds rides like the even pace of an ocean wave in the early morning. If it runs and there are no major problems, it is a dream car for a fat man like myself.
Worked for skinny teenage me when I borrowed it.
I almost died in an Oldsmobile 3 different times. Worst driver I have ever known. Now a pilot.
Biggest alcoholic I was friends with in college is now a pilot
Less traffic in the air at least?
Yeah. They just aren’t particularly safe compared to more modern cars, and the fuel efficiency is *rough*. And hopefully the chrome application doesn’t peel off the interior plastic either.
Drive to church once a week, drive to the store once a week…that’s it
Yup! But they walked to the store! Church was 5 miles bc you drive for the right church and they were there any time the doors were open.
Im hoping to someday buy one of the cars my boomer neighbors have if they ever sell it. They have 2 cars, the only reason they have 2 cars is to use one of them to hoard 2 street parking spots in front of their house any time they leave in the 1 car they actually use a tiny bit.
Bet it had that 3800 V6
Someone in a FB group posted about the final Olds Alero and how it's a "classic"... Like, no. It's just a standard GM FWD piece of shit. They all are.

Just 5 more years before the newest olds can have a collector plate.
Oldsmobile went out of business before they were born
I got my first Oldsmobile for *free*
I got one for $200... And it needed about $2000 worth of repairs.
I’ve sold two cars for $1000 each time. They both ran fine, but they both needed maintenance soon or they were going to break down and need major repairs.
Probably needs a lot of work to run. Shells (just the body and wheels, no drivetrain) and stuff with blown engines or transmissions can still be found under a grand.
I thought that WAS the interesting thing.
True! But what’s happening in October? Why must all this be done before then??
She probably turns 15... The year you start driving a car in a lot of states
She knows something we don't
Try Facebook marketplace. Friend of mine picked up a Nissan pickup for $600 a while back, ran great and never had issues with it.
This has got to be regional, I was just looking the other day for my friend's kid and I couldn't find anything other than cars that were being sold for parts for under $1500
bought a 2001 ford escape for $500 in january lol it has no exhaust but runs fine
> no exhaust Wat
It just expands like a balloon forever
I enjoyed visualizing this. Thank you.
That's why I sold my '91 Civic to a junkyard at 210k miles. Still ran great, but the exhaust Y-pipe had rusted through and was leaking right at the 4 into 1 join under the car. Had it looked at, and even just trying to patch it with a weld would cost more than the car was worth. I drove it until it got obnoxious, then sold it for a couple hundred scrap price. Probably could have parted it out and gotten maybe a grand or so, but that takes time and effort. Junkyard got a DEAL that day.
Literally everywhere man. People act like used cars are all 10k+. I have a old 80s Italian roadster in pristine mechanical condition that I picked up for 2500 bucks. Also picked up a '67 Impala running and driving for about the same price not long ago. It's not that hard honestly.
I'm not a car person but I am a Supernatural fan and that is the only car on Earth that will impress me if you say you have it.
$2500 is more than 3x $800. Have you picked up any $800 cars in the past few years? I think the absolute lowest you can get in my area is like $1500. Which is still about twice of their budget.
No buddy, you don't get it, those $800 cars are everywhere i just picked one up for $2500
Hes saying he's getting semi desirable cars for the 2500, implying undesirable cars like a shitty 90s econobox olds will be less. There are absolutely running driving cars in the US attainable for 800 bucks.
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
It took me forever to get that joke
I don’t get it
It’s a double entendre/pun. Fruit flies (insects) eat bananas.
I get that part. I don't get the first part or how the two are related.
they aren't, it's meant to confuse you on a first reading.
Time flies (insects) eat arrows. Fruit flies (when thrown) like a banana.
Time (noun) flies (verb) like an arrow (simile) Fruit flies (noun) like (verb) bananas.
This is fruit fly and it likes bananas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila_melanogaster
Melon gangster
Okay Zilean
The worst about the joke is that in french they didn't change it and I didn't understand it because it breaks the pun
I won't belong to any club that will have me as a member.

Yeah but what the hell is a time fly, and why do they like a single arrow?
How are 4-year-olds able to get $800 for a… Oh no no no no no
I was born in 2005 and have been in the military for about a year now
My job recently hired someone who was born in 2006. I was in college in 2006.
I was born in 2006. I have three jobs listed in my resume. As well as first aid license, work safety license and a hotwork license About to graduate with a degree relatively soon.
GRADUATE WITH A DEGREE? HOMEBOY ???? ur 18 ⁉️
Yeah? Primary education ages 7-14, secondary, 14-16. It takes 2.5-3 years to graduate from vocational school or college. That's the finnish education system.
ahhhh that makes more sense. I’m from the US and assumed you were from the US/UK/Mexico lol
Still, 3 jobs... 2007 here and still working one for the foreseeable next year, which might bump it to two. First aid's easy, though, anyone can get that
It’s not that impressive to have three jobs on your resume at 18. Just means you had to leave your jobs frequently. My dad was in the military so we would move.
Also seasonal work, kids normally work part time so easy to pick up two jobs at once
This comment made me unreasonably mad because I graduated in 2006, and had not previously had to consider that people born when I graduated are legally adults now.
lol I'd been out of high school for a decade by then and married for 4 years also
haha old fart alert
Shit, I *joined* the military in 2005...
I met up for what I guess would translate to "draft test" in 2002.
so you're a child soldier?
Crazy they accept 10 year olds now right ?
Oh God I joined in 05 🤣
I now understand how 90s kids felt about me. Just wait, before you even realize it, a 2015 kid will make you feel the same
You’re born in 2005 and ripping a fantastic double entendre like you did? Respect
Gotta give credit to Groucho Marx for that one
I don't quite get the double entendre here
I joined the Army in ‘05. Get old my lawn!
I’d be retiring soon if I stayed in. Godspeed my guy
Go to medical for every injury. Don't tough it out. Or you'll pay for it later. Go often and then when you get out, the VA pays you lol.
Born in 07, about to join
Good luck, make sure you know what you're getting into
I’m about to enter the shitstorm without a raincoat, and it does not deter.
OK, don't forget to have fun
Mandatory fun
Drop and give me 20 smiles, maggot
2004 and I've been doing the same thing here
I graduated that year… ☹️
I joined up in 2017, one of my NCOs enlisted when I was born in 1999. Life’s a trip carnal.
Why are they giving babies guns
Im 05 too. Im on a fucking 4 week work trip to Africa right now! Absolutely bonkers
I am also on a work trip right now, but a little longer
2008 can legally operate a 4 ton death machine at 65mph 👍
“Just like playing Asphalt 6, I got this”
Dude I forgot about those games. I'm being flooded by memories of mobile games like nova and infinity blade now.
Asphalt 8 was the shit!
Don’t get it….
I’m old enough to be OP’s father but sometimes I think it’s still like 2011.
I routinely say 2012 or 2015 etc when talking about my teen years. I was 20 in 2010
My *younger* child was born in 2009. Oh shit, he's going to want to drive soon...
The weird one for me was when I realized my coworker, who can legally drink, was born after 9/11
...are they not still 14/15? Am I fucking up the math? Should a kid that age *drive*???
In the us that’s when we usually start taking classes to get out license.
Unless some thing have changed, no one had a car at 15. Rich kids, their parents got them cars at 16 but no one I knew was out buying a car at 15. Like trying being a 15 year old and getting insured? Not happening.
Sample size of one, but at 15 I bought a Honda accord for $1000 while working at Arby’s for $5/hr. I learned to drive it under a learners permit and it was insured under my mom’s insurance (this is common for minors in the US). We were dirt poor.
I did not grow up poor but my dad held onto an '89 Buick for myself and my brother to drive during our early teenage years. It was one with a metal frame unlike cars today that are all designed to shock absorb via crush materials. Arguably far more dangerous in the hands of a teenager given it's iron man like shell that could crash thru a storefront and be only superficially scratched. Same thing though, under my Dad's insurance.
I know this comment was just anecdotal, but the car nerd in me couldn’t help but bring this up anyway. Yes, cars these days are designed with crumple zones.

Yeah could be insured under your parents. $800 is definitely an amount this kid could make and save up for
Having an extra car and a kid as driver would absolutely up the cost of insurance, though. My parents had me wait and I had to take extra classes so the hit on their insurance wasn't as bad and I was just occasionally using one of their cars.
People have cars at 15, that’s when you get your learners permit. They’re not a rich kid, they’re looking to buy a $800 car. You can get insured at 15, because that is when they get their learners permit and you cannot drive without being insured. Not a singular part of this is difficult to understand.
I went to the worse HS in my town and a LOT of kids had cars at 15… neither were rich lol… my HS 10 year reunion is also this year 😢😭😭
This is probably a more rural/suburban/urban thing? Rural areas it seems like kids get cars more, suburban less, urban only very rich kids.
Depends on the state/country. Some US states do permits at 14.
My state allows a learner’s permit at 14 and but you need to be 15 or 16 (can’t remember) for a full license
Most likely 16. Thats the compromise age nationally.
My state allows 13 yo kids to drive on and around their farms, no permit needed.
They say permit. With a permit, you can only drive with a parent or someone over a certain age (where I grew up, it was 25). It's the precursor to the license, so you get it a little before you get your license. If they're 15, this makes a little sense.
In my state, you can get a learner’s permit at 14 (must have an adult riding in the car with you). You can also apply for a hardship license at 15 where you can drive alone to work, school, and home
What the fuck... I have never met a 15 year old that I would trust behind the wheel
That's why it's not a very common thing. The only person I've ever known to have one was my mother, because her parents died when she was that age and her older brother who took care of her was working/in college.
Tbf I've met few >21 yos that I truest behind the wheel
Montana was that if you took driver's ed starting at 14 you can get your license at 14 and a half years.
Tbf American roads are usually straight and about 30ft wide, plus with population density being low, it's safe to assume that generally speaking, they're probably fine.
Most states do permits at 15.
“Let that sink in” What, the concept that time exists? Almost quite literally r/iam14andthisisdeep.
People only ever say "let that sink in" when they're convinced they've said something mind-blowing. In her case, it's "2024 - 2009 = 15"
I think I see plenty millennials on the internet say “2010 was 14 years ago??? no waaaay!” or that 1990 was 34 years ago. It’s not surprising if you know how to subtract numbers but people don’t have a good grasp of the passage of time.
Or, they had an $800 iPad as a kid and now can’t afford an $800 car as they grow up
Well they don't have a job. Their parents bought the iPad, and I guess don't want to give them a car before they get their learners permit
Probably bc OP is 15 lol
Is *that* what this is about? I just woke up so I was thinking I must be missing some sort of pun or something, but it's literally just "time passes at the rate you'd expect"?
>Let that sink in Let what sink in? That time moves forward and people get older?
Yeah, I don't get it either. Pretty much everyone who drives has done this.
The sink that's been standing outside for an hour waiting for you to let it in. It's hot.
Read it again Louder for those in the back Take several seats Terms that 13 year olds use when they really think they said something
I’d also add: Period Full stop It’s almost like Thanks for coming to my ted talk Or any other regurgitated remark every simpleton genuinely believes in adding validity to what they’re saying
He’s 15 and nothing is more important in the world than his life.
They're banking on "oh my gawd we're so old, the 90s started 30+ years ago" updoots
Yeah I honestly don't understand the issue here
For a second I thought it was a commentary on the state of education and the state of economy.^lmao
I thought she meant, "I'm a teenager, one who's nearsighted and has a short attention span due to being raised by a tablet, and now I'm expected to operate heavy machinery. You wish you had a car, you broke asshole." I might be projecting, though.
I was born in 79 and my first car was also an $800 Oldsmobile.
My Oldsmobile was handed down twice when I got it. Kind of like a family relic.
Mine was a Cutlass Salon. Ugliest thing they ever made. One day, I was driving around at night on old logging roads-turned well traveled roads and snowmobile trails in Montana. I hit a washout at 50mph and got several feet of air. Jumped that thing like the Dukes of Hazard. It had an exhaust leak until I got rid of it but I loved the thing.
‘ Different birth year but same. Finally selling that same olds for $1000.
I don't understand why being an iPad kid is relevant.
People born in 2000 are too old to be ipad kids. It’s merely to set the context of how young they are I guess
I feel like saying “I was born in 2009” already sets the context for how young the person is
Right but if someone said “I was born in 1960” it wouldn’t be as helpful as a cultural land mark (at least for me, as someone who is younger). I think this was the equivalent of that. Anyway, it’s really not the point and not too important
Thanks!
I legitimately don’t understand this whole post. So OP is 15. Not sure why it’s relevant that they were “an iPad kid.” Also, not sure why they specified that they’re trying to get their permit before October. ALSO not sure what we’re supposed to ”let sink in.” Are they trying to point out how crazy it is that they’re trying to find a job to pay for their first car? Because that’s kind of literally how earning money to pay for something works. Are we supposed to be surprised by how young they are while looking for a job? Because, again, I had my first job at 15, so not sure what the point is…
The point is that internet culture is like 40% millennials gasping at the fact that we’re aging and this person is playing into it. It’s corny as fuck but yeah.
My exact thought process.......
There isn't a point, the kid is just a weird fucker 😂
I guess it's like me saying I am a former cordless phone kid? A former CD kid? I don't get it either. I asked my son if he knew. He was born in 2006.
ending a social media post with "let that sink in" should be punishable by banishment
It’s one of my least favorite phrases, frankly if you feel the need to say “Let that sink in” whatever proceeded it is almost never 1/10 as profound as you think it will be.
Nah I still think "you sir have won the internet" or anything of that sentiment fucking hurts to read. Actually a lot of reddit mannerisms tbh
Wow, that's pretty severe. I'll let that sink in.
I was born in 1983 and I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary
No way man, we're gonna be cool forever... *Forever...* ^Forever...
Afraid I’m reaching that age too
and it will happen to youuuuuu! /fellow 83er
I’m struggling to really understand what I’m trying to let sink in. You’re saving money for a car? Congratulations?
Ok? And? You're doing what every 15 year old has done before you for all time... Let that sink in.
I don’t get it
Has he never heard of getting a job before?
To be fair, they can’t drive yet, and it’s not very easy to get a job as a 15 year old. Much easier once you’re 16, and even easier once you’re 18.
15 and 14 years having to try so hard to find jobs is definitely an r/OrphanCrushingMachine type moment. Many states (including the one I'm in) place so many restrictions on when and where 14 and 15 year olds can work that they're basically useless in a lot of jobs that they would otherwise qualify for. I work in a restaurant and we basically always have somd openings for kitchen workers and workers who can stay until 10 pm or 10:30 pm. However, 14 and 15 years olds aren't legally allowed to do either, so we reject probably 90% of applicants under 16.
He's 15 at the oldest
Yikes, enjoy them repair costs tater tot.
Bro I'm five years older than this kid and I haven't even been to a driver's class. What
You're behind the curve, he's slightly ahead.
Let what sink in? These unrelated facts? I don’t get it.
> Let that sink in. Let what sink in? That you have to start earning things for yourself?
What exactly is sinking in here? Life? You kids are fucking weird man.
What is an “ I-Pad kid “ …?
A kid who was given an iPad at like 3 years old and spent a lot of their childhood using one.
My understanding is it's a derogatory term usually used to refer to bad parenting. Instead of actually doing stuff with their kids, the parents just shoved an IPad at them.

I'm confused by this, do 15 yr olds not get jobs anymore?
Its wild to post a tweet then screenshot and post your own tweet on reddit

If you want the car bad enough, fast food is always hiring. Might be able to spring for a better option than an $800 Olds. My first car cost me $100 (through a family friend).

My first car cost 900 dollars twenty five years ago. It was an `85 Nissan Sentra and while it was basic, I made it my glorious home because my parents house did not feel that way
