DAD SELLS SON'S SUV AS PUNISHMENT

Fed up with his son smoking weed and “acting all thug,” a Florida dad sold his teenage son’s ’98 Ford Explorer on Craigslist. Allan Gieger Jr. says he did it only with his son’s best interest at heart. “I’ve been having some issues with my son over the past year,” Gieger said. “I don’t want to see him struggle the way I did.” Here’s the Craigslist ad:
“I have my son’s truck up for sale that I bought for him as his first car, he thinks it’s cool to drive around with his friends smokin’ dope and acting all thug and especially not showing me and my wife the respect that we deserve. This was a vehicle to finish school in, get a decent job and get a head start on life but (he) chose to throw it all away because his friends would rather have an influence on him more than me, Now he can put those Jordans to use walking his ass off on these hot summer days! It has ice cold air and power and everything, It’s dirty as hell inside and out because he didn’t respect it and take pride. I just put new tires on it that he never paid me for because dope was more important, If you live on the Westside I’ll take $250 off the price just so he sees it every now and then so it’ll remind him of how good he had it.”
The truck sold in two hours.
* Gee, how long ’til the kid has dad whacked?
* Now, to get another car, the kid’s gonna have to start dealing.
* Anyway, it’s time his friends did their share of the driving.
* One clue that the kid might be spoiled: He had an SUV in the first place.
* How dare this kid act like basically every parent out there when they were that age?
* You ever talk to parents these days? It’s like they have two different histories.
* One is what happened and the other is what they tell the kids.
* You see these soccer moms looking like pillars of the community? Well, some of us remember how wild they were back in the day.
