[0:00]When this young man stepped out of his Camaro Z28 at his girlfriend's birthday party, three of his college friends began to laugh at him. Each showing off their brand new BMWs. One of them, Asher, said, Sorry, Grandpa, you're too broke. We don't hang out with junk collectors. Dylan walked past them, holding a neatly wrapped $300 gift and approached his girlfriend with a smile. Happy birthday, Luna. She looked at the box and felt disgusted. I hate cheap stingy guys. Ew, is that some leftover food? Please stay away from me. She turned and walked off to dance with Asher. He was left heartbroken. Dylan went to his uncle's that evening and blamed him for everything. I paid you $25,000 for this junk. You scammed me. But his uncle simply smiled and showed him an old dusty muscle car in his garage. 1970 Chevrolet SS. I bought it in 1995 for $2,000. I fixed a couple of things. Guess what? I just sold it for $160,000. The new owner will pick it up tomorrow. Dylan was confused as he continued. Flashy things fade quickly. But the old ones go up with time. Invest wisely. Four years later, Asher drove his girlfriend Luna to a dealership. When they stepped out, they saw Dylan outside, inspecting and cleaning two freshly delivered muscle cars. Asher walked over and said with a fake friendly smile, Long time, man. You don't look that bad. Guess you ended up cleaning rusty old cars after all. Dylan smiled politely. Good to see you too. The ex-girlfriend quickly said, Oh, Dylan, my boyfriend's here to buy me a Porsche, right, babe? Asher nodded as they laughed and walked inside. Moments later, inside the showroom, tension rose. Asher told the manager, I want to trade my BMW for that Porsche. The manager shook his head. That Porsche is $72,000. Your car is worth $50,000. Asher's smile faded. Just then, Dylan walked in. What seems to be the problem? Luna quickly snapped, Can't you see we're speaking with a manager? Go away, poor boy. The manager immediately interrupted. Ma'am, this is our boss, the owner of this dealership and three other branches across the city. They were both shocked and embarrassed. Luna quickly left her boyfriend and grabbed Dylan's arm. I didn't know. Dylan, you're amazing. You left me to suffer alone all these years. It's unfair. Wait, you're still single, right? Let's go on a date. Asher desperately said, Bro, please, help me out. I'm in a lot of debt. Dylan shook his head in disbelief. You both laughed at me when I had nothing. I value loyalty and true friendship, which you both lack. Please excuse me. He walked away, leaving them speechless and shocked. Drop a heart if he taught them a lesson.
