That’s an impressive savings for a 23yo. Imagine all the work and discipline going into it. I wonder how much work and discipline he put into betting on Hertz.


And Hertz of all companies. My experiences with them have been uniformly awful; they always try to charge me for insurance or services which I explicitly decline, and their customer support is openly hostile. I'm sure they were a competent company at one point in time, but betting your life savings on a company that is apparently surviving on fraud is bold.


But all of that shitty behavior is actually good for the shareholders (in the short term) they were essentially seeing how much you could abuse captive and or ignorant customers.


Parts may have been gifted to him. If self earned yes impressive.


Pretty normal if you manage to save a lot and start working during highschool.
