I'd imagine most of us are all too familiar with the group of annoying kids whose constant begging (or even outright demanding at times, spoiled little brats lol) for you to give them free cars. I'm not talking about the polite ones, the genuinely grateful, and the otherwise good-natured virtual racers who I have happily donated literally thousands of cars to between GT5 and FM4. No, I'm talking about the vultures that would have you send them every set of wheels you own then turn around and beg for more 10 minutes later. Before anyone labels me as a heartless scrooge, it is no exaggeration that I've easily donated 2,000+ vehicles to no small number of people. I had 1500+ cars in GT5 and was known to give away one per day to keep from filling it up. On FM4 the "money made in auction house" stat stops counting at 999,999,999cr and I guarantee 50% (probably closer to 75%) of that money was spent on cars that were eventually gifted to friends. Just last week I gifted a real life friend EVERY GT1, GTS, and GT2 car along with about half of the LMPs. Why? He loves racing but has very little time to play and otherwise would never have the money for even half of those cars.
However, the one thing I hate is the group of 10-13 year olds that consistently harass me to give them free cars multiple times per day. Even worse are the ones who say they'll "take any car" when asked, then proceed to complain when the Zonda Cinque or whatever I sent isn't what they wanted. But they never seem to send the car they didn't want back to me, just proceed to incessantly message me wondering when I'm going to send them the car they want now. This drives me crazy, I'm not your personal "free $500,000+ car" vending machine!
The particular offender in question has been my XBL friend for less than 2 weeks. Earlier this morning I gifted him an Aston Martin AMR One LMP and a GT1 C6.R Corvette. A little while ago he messaged me asking for a Reventon or Sesto Elemento. I told him I don't own either of those cars, never been a big fan of Lamborghini. I've got a Miura, a Diablo GTR, and a GT2 Gallardo and that's all I care to keep around.
Over the course of the next 2 hours I received 15 more messages related to when he was going to get his car! Somehow the 5 messages I sent explaining that I do not own either of those cars didn't register. He was apparently expecting me to blow over 2 million credits on one from the dealer just to immediately gift it to him, despite having already sent him that Aston AMR One and C6.R less than 12 hours ago. After all 5 of my explanations that I do not own the car I still got a message asking, "what do I need to do to get the Sesto?" What Sesto? I don't have one! There is not a Sesto to physically give! I don't have some "water into wine" capability to magically transform an Alfa Romeo Spider into a Sesto! What do you need to do to get the Sesto? Go to the dealer and pay 2,100,000cr for it! I didn't know he needed a step-by-step guide on how to purchase a car on his own.
Anyways, the actual funny part! I stop responding to his idiotic assumptions that I'm just going to donate this Lamborghini. Not even an hour later he sends me a message asking for cars because he is low on money! Seriously? It was at that moment I decided I'm going to send him cars. Lots of cars!
For almost an hour I patrolled the auction house buying up every single thing I saw for a 15,000cr or less buyout. Why do it that way? Because hopefully the majority I get are worthless driver level reward cars that can only be sold for 100cr and are otherwise general wastes of garage space.
I have amassed a ridiculous number of Suzukis, Seat Cupras, Ford Kas, Fiat Puntos, Toyota Aygos, Saabs, and other assorted F/E/D class economy cars and hatchbacks (along with some GMC vans for variety). He wanted to keep hounding me for cars? He's about to get 50-100 cars he doesn't want and can't sell for any money, right before I remove him from my friends list! That's right, I have burned close to half a million credits accumulating every piece of junk I could find simply to send all of them in one big clump and remind him he needs to learn to be more specific than "please send some cars" to the next person he tries to endlessly mooch off of!
It just sucks the C1 Corvette is nowhere near as plentiful as it once was. My original plan was to send him 50-100 of just C1 Corvettes I bought from the auction house for cheap haha! Oh well, if he's smart he will use these to do like half of the event list spec series races.
EDIT:
I even went through and sold all the conversion/aero/wheel upgrades off of the cars. Considering I got a lot of them for 1,600cr I made quite a bit of money back doing that. A set of wheels alone selling for 1,850cr already paid for the car, throw in another 2,200cr or so in wheel diameter plus a few engine swaps, turbos, and wings and I was actually making 5,000cr or more profit just selling the parts off a car I paid 1,600cr for hahaha!
