So i'm at the local stereo shop right...

and this old dude walks in...like 60+ yrs old...and he asks the manager if he is looking for any interns. So we are all like staring at him like...is he serious. So he goes on to tell us that he wants to learn about car audio and that he'll work for free. He then proceeds to tell us that his daughter and her husband got killed in a car crash and that he is trying to get "in touch" with his parentless grandsons age 16 and 19. He tried everything to connect with them but the only thing they are interested in is car audio so he wants to learn all he can so that he can try to connect with them on their level. Needless to say i think that was the most heartwrenching thing i had ever heard. So of course my dude Nate the manager, says "yes, we are always willing to help out someone like you" So the old started on the spot, and began learning immediately.

i thought that was totally awesome, that is all.

it sounds nice, and maybe if the guy is being for real then it is a nice story, but with scammers these days, dont be surprised if yall get ripped off or robbed. keep that in mind. nice of the shop to consider it and not just kick him out the door tho.

Why can stories about car audio like that never make headlines?

Always about how we're just a bunch of knuckle-draggin', gang baggin hoodlums trying to wreak havoc on society. Nobody ever sees the good side......
