Well my brother needed a car and came to his little brother. I just happen to have 2 xb's and really only use the Camo so i gave him the BSP. I think i just made brother of the year... :D Or i am just :crazy: Oh well he is happy..

Damn! You are a great brother! And crazy..

Holy ____! are you loaded or what?

Holy ____! are you loaded or what?

What does it matter, he helped out family.

Holy ____! are you loaded or what?


:rofl: :rofl: I wish !!!!!!

well it matters alot- he is announcing to the world that he gave it away ( to give something away means to me that you own it)........So either your loaded or stupid....
I mean, give your brother a 1990 honda Civic, not a new xB....

Generous... And very wise. I would've kept the Camo too.

Well since i am not rich and not stupid, maybe i just think my brother is worth more than a honda... And i am only announcing a good deed, and the fact that i have created a new Scion owner..

Are we jelious???

good work, my bro would never do somthin like that 4 me

Well, I think It was awfull nice of you!

Man lucky brother!!

Good "Carma"

I have given away cars and a house. Nice to know that others can too.

No, I'm not loaded. Just figure, what comes around...

Plus, now you have the right to kick your older brother in the balls at any time for any reason.

Scion xB: 15K
Getting back at older brother for countless noogies: Priceless.

Very cool of you man.
If I could afford it, my brother could use an xB, but I can
barely afford the one I have! LOL

I am trying to talk my dad into a Scion though...he needs a
new car badly, I just don't think the box is his style.

Either way, good deed!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :bow: :clap: :clap: :clap:

why did you have 2 xBs to begin with? You just wanted 2 colors to switch every other day?

What a good brother you are. I wish I had a brother to give me the tC I have right now.

Where were my two brothers when I bought my new xB! :doh:

Your definately up for brother of the year. :bow: I don't know if you crazy, that depends on how your brother responds to such a great gift and how close your family is in general.

Kudos anyway.

good for you..

i gave my 99 grand am to my sister.. and seldom let her drive my xb.

tax write off.

I would do the same for my brother as well if I could.

Props.

I gave my older brother a piece of gum, does that count? I just felt generous. On a serious note, I am still in shock that you would do that for him.

...and I thought I loved my sister!

You rock man!

My brother does stuff like that for my middle brother in need. . . a word of advice from the experienced, if you are willing to listen:

My brother completely spoiled the other brother, but it happened gradually. You see, after awhile, charitable acts you make will happen at fairly common pace, and it will become expected. . . hmmm how do I put this? It's like this, your brother (if you are too nice, which in my opinion, you are) will not learn the value of such deeds unless you give an opportunity to realize the value. And you COULD be an A-hole and make him give you gratitude, but he will never respect you for that (you'd be just like a father figure that sons love to hate). Or you could be even more charitable and not ask for any gratitude (which IMO is much worse). When in a jam, he will ask and expect the same kind of treatment, and will resent you if you bail out on him.

I know this sounds kind of iffy, and non-scientific, but it has happened to my family, my friends' families, and countless examples that I can personally recount.

It goes like the old cliche: give a man a fish, you feed him for a day(and he will expect fish from you tomorrow). Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

You could feed him with charity for his entire life by simply giving things to him, but he will never amount to anything of value, nor value himself. But if he becomes self-sufficient, he will have far more pride in himself, and will truly be a man, rather than just a brother. This doesn't mean that you truly apply to this, but I'm being charitable by giving my most sincere attempt of giving you advice without offending you.

My solution, to give value to your gift, is to make him pay for the car. . . not with money, as it is too late to change the terms, but with self worth. I'd make it so that he had to accomplish something, in order to keep his car. Whatever vice it was that made him in need of charity would be the problem to address. If he crashed his old car, he must learn to drive normal. If he is low on money, he needs to get a job and maintain it. If he drinks too much, he must stop. Whatever. This is your chance to make a positive impact, beyond just lending a hand. It is your chance to help make him a better person. That's the true definition of family. . . a group that works to better eachother, even if it means you can't be the nicest guy in the world. After all, what would children amount to if parents gave their kids everything they wanted. . . *ahem* *Paris Hilton* *ahem*

And I have been criticizing a lot, but I do it because you seem like a really good guy, and wish the best for you and your brother. Beyond the criticisms and lecture-like posts, I want to applaud you. Even if I am right(which isn't always the case), and you totally ignore me, I want to applaud you. Family values are so low nowadays, that sibling rivalry never ends, and families work more to compete against eachother, rather than help eachother. You are good, good man. I'd shake your hand if I knew/met you. It takes a lot to sacrifice that much to help someone. And ironically, it takes a whole lot more to help family (as you do it to help them and not yourself). . . most charity to random people is shown by studies (and logic) to be done for the purpose of self fulfillment, meaning that people donate to make themselves feel better or rid themselves of guilt. Donating to people you know, or people in your family is charity in one of its purest forms.

very honrable, noble and kind of u to do that. if i had a brother, or any siblings for that matter i would do the same, if i could.
