Default YouTube Actor Allows Homeless Man to Drive His C7 Corvette



It's not everyday a homeless guy gets to drive a C7 Corvette, but this wasn't Larry's average day.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

The kid in the passenger seat looks like, what I believe the kids today are calling, a Douche.

Great story.....great video.

My motto......

"Life should be about helping others without expecting anything in return".

For the posts above, try it someday. You might get some self satisfaction out of what you do for others.

Also keep in mind, the youth of America is the future of America. You were young once also.

And what have you ever done for a homeless person?

What makes him a douche? Our society needs more people like him, especially our youth.

Who needs an Owner's Age Poll when you can just read the comments here?

I was impressed by the fact that the kid was trying to get the homeless guy in touch with his daughters. Regardless of his motives, he did something real nice and if he gets ahold of the daughters it could change Larry's life.

Wow, what a nice kid, if everyone went out of their way to help a man when he is down, think how wonderful this world would be. Great job! Really a nice insight to what people who are on the street face.
Hope he does some more videos.

I cannot agree with you more. During the video, I counted at least eight separate things that the young did for the homeless guy. Any one of the eight would merit the young man a human interest report on the local TV news. Of all the acts performed, the young man present the homeless guy as a regular human being.

The haters need to take long looks at themselves in the mirror.

Most people will look away when they come across a homeless person. This kid trusted him with his Corvette. He could have went around the block for 5 minutes then said "see ya" but he spend a good amount of time with him and helping him out. This might be the start of something good for that guy. Especially if he is able to get in touch with his daughters.

And I'll note, even if the kid did it to get more views, he picked a good way to do it.

I think the kid did a great thing. Regardless of how he looks he took him in for one night. I have money to get a hotel room and buy lunch for a homeless guy too, but I haven't done it nor have I even thought of it. So maybe I'm the douche.

With people getting beheaded and burned alive in the Middle East this was a refreshing sight to see.

To all those critiquing this video, would you rather see videos like this from Corvette owners? "Gotta be careful for those coppas."

This kid deserves big kudos.

I don't know what his motivation might be, not do I really care. I appreciate what he DID. What he did was awesome.

Actions will always speak louder than words.

Obviously the kid did it for the attention and to get views on his YouTube channel so how is that not doing doing something for someone without getting something in return?

If I were a homeless guy with a park bench for a bed, I wouldn't want some punk kid rubbing his $65k sports Car daddy bought in my face for YouTube views...talk about kicking a guy when he's down..
