Felon Friends - Rabbit's Used Cars

[@henry7937]

RIP my homie, you are dearly missed by many!

[@shanewoods1980]

Missed so much already, and I’ve never met the gentleman

[@donthewellguy]

Being a convicted felon, in the great state of SC, and having done some time, I cannot agree with you more. When I first got out, it literally took me a year and a half to get a decent job that just took advantage of the fact that I was on parole. Finished parole and left that company… Fast forward to today, I run a well drilling company that I now own part of. I’m married. I have a son who I’m training to be a well driller… Life is good for me. Anyone can screw up in life… It’s how you handle it after the fact that will define the true character of an individual… Great story!!!

[@jessedukowitz6267]

Where are you doing the drilling and it’s oil and gas

[@andrewzabel3691]

Honestly Rob this had to have been one of the most evocative stories you’ve told on your channel. Something about it got me thinking a lot about life, can’t wait to hear the stories of 22.

[@schmoopers500]

Funny enough this auto played, talked about doing shady stuff in the past but always came across as a good dude. Rip Rabbit

"Looked like a Diamond in the middle of a Goats Ass" 🤣🤣😂😂😭😭😭😭😭

[@joshuavinson7343]

If you judge people solely on past mistakes then none of us would come out looking very good. It’s not about whether or not you messed up, it’s whether or not you learn from it. Thanks for the video.

[@mrchikago4420]

Awesome

[@jshumphress13]

I am a criminal defense attorney, and many clients don't want you to judge them (obviously). I tell some of them that we have all messed up at times but it comes down to two things. First, some are lucky enough to never get caught while others aren't so lucky. Second, did you learn from your F*** up or not? If you did, this is probably a worthwhile situation to be in. If not, here is my card.... I had plenty of run-ins with the law in the younger years, but you live and learn and (hopefully) grow as a person. Never too late.

[@Nick-rn7uh]

My uncle Nick is a car slanging cow boy of the Lynnwood Everett lake Stevens area from the 80s and 90s growing listening to his stories and him showing me "a few old car salesman tricks" were always one of my favorite things to do , I started watching these pod casts awhile back while out in the shop working on the whips and it's just like being at Uncle Nicks again. thanks rabbit your alright brother.

[@bigdog8993]

Good ol' Washington State nice 😊 I grew up in Skagit valley little bit further north of Lynnwood

[@markiangooley]

When Miami Vice was popular, an electric shaver designed to leave a bit of extra stubble came on the market under the name The Miami Device. I can’t believe that it’s the explanation, though.

[@jayhaviv4286]

Miss Ya buddy …

[@TheClownfight]

I want to say how much we all just love these stories. But to tell you that I gotta go back and tell you this story - glad I found you through Ed and vinwiki. Rest in power, brother!

[@johnmontag]

One of the best storytellers I’ve ever heard

[@nervotica7991]

Must be one of the best stories you've told yet. Sucked me in completely. Thanx Rob.

[@kennethjones8876]

Absolutely agree my son is a convicted felon . Did his time got out and completely turned his life around and I am so very proud of him ! He is married now and I have a beautiful 2 year old granddaughter that I am completely in love with and she is spoiled by me and her grandmother. Thanks for bringing light to this subject it is proof that people can turn their life's around !

[@krispyle2506]

Rob is what every car salesman wants to be.

[@franzvanjulio5523]

Thanks for sharing, Rob. Great story, as always. Goes to show that we all can use a little forgiveness, as well as a little humility. Be well and keep doing your thing.

[@lange6223]

You continue to amaze me how you can combine introspective stories with humor and such a laid back approach.

[@Hogiewan1]

Thanks Rob. Great story. God bless ya’ll

[@dhass1776]

The RUC on time for Monday morning work entertainment, thanks Rabbit.

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

I have known many con men over the years. I once heard one comment on a guy we both knew well. He said with great admiration. He would sell you a radio. And leave you with nothing but the music.

[@jeffkearney2488]

Damn what a story. And you got a great way with words.

[@dougford5259]

Them old guys who been there and done that are some of teh best friends to have. They are gonna make you smile and watch your back. Hope your old friend RIP.

[@boduke7680]

Getting an early lunch and 🐇 video is already up. Good start to 2022!!

[@NotProFishing]

I love this rabbit stories it just warms my cold car heart

[@ayeoooo]

You channel has been great helping me get through the pandemic. Much appreciated brother

[@joemurdock6032]

I worked with a guy repossesing cars in the Gary/ Valparaiso area... Lets just call this guy "Frank". Getting into repo work I never quite felt comfortable just taking a car that was in someone else's driveway. "Frank" always told me act like you're doing nothing wrong and you're golden. He said if you got keys walk up like you own it, "fire and burn tire" as he put it. If not "hook it and book it"...lol. i only stayed at the job a few weeks and got out of that line of work... repossesing cars in Gary can be scary. So I ran into "Frank" years later and I ask him where he's been (hadn't seen him in like 6 years) he tells me he had gotten 5 years in prison for auto theft. How? He then tells me that 90% of the repossesion orders were fake and they printed those to fool any police into thinking it's a repossesion. He'd always go "repossesing" on a Friday night. Being closed for the weekend by the time the owner called the finance company on Monday and figured out it was a sham and the car was stolen the car was long gone. I had watched this guy stand there and wait for the police and casually have a conversation when they show up, show them the fake paperwork, and the cop tells the owner to let him do his job and take the car! Lmao. Guy was criminally genius and had the biggest balls ever. "Frank" passed in 2020 from complications of lung cancer and covid but this story made me think of him. RIP "Frank"

[@mellamolucero]

love the stories..

[@brooksallenyoung]

I bought my first "classic" a few weeks ago. An 89 town car signature series with 70k miles for 5500 bucks. Replaced the cooling system and going to mostly daily it until car prices go down

“He had a kid with him. I assumed it was his but he might have kidnapped him, idk”

[@rickeycompton5518]

In Nashville Tennessee where I lived 1980's. A Metro unmarked police car sat at 2nd avn and Broadway. Was locked up running a marked car was there trying to get the car unlocked. I watched then went got my plyers, coat hanger and prize tool. Unlocked the car real quick for the detective (other officers were butt heads). Detective said " your in the wrong business" I said No I don't look good in stripes ( prison garb back then).

[@aomar9449]

Great story, such a welcome display of humility happy new year Rob!

[@FTW523.]

What a great story

[@freedom1garage]

Awesome story. One of your best! Can't help but wonder if he passed the skill onto Jr before he passed.

[@sgdtv1368]

Feeling the same way about 21, a lot of good moments but bad ones too

We are all guilty of one thing, sin. I’m so thankful that, in the eyes of the Lord, we’re on a level playing field. He only sees us in one of two ways, you’re either saved or you’re lost. If you’re saved, the past doesn’t exist, forgotten eternally!

[@chipdiamond5104]

I almost caught a felony "aggravated assault" they called it but the fight started on camera and went out of view so they only saw a small portion and no victim ever came forward. It was mutual combat, dude started a fight and got trashed, I rag dolled dude and people called 911 but dude took the L and left. So they had 2 911 calls but no victim ever came forward thank God.. so they just dismissed It..

[@spencer1280]

Happy 2022 Mr Pitts, been loving your stories since i started watching VinWiki, you are my favorite storyteller. I am trying to convince my dad to get one of those Ford Mavericks, but if he doesn't get one, I am gonna get one. Stay safe and healthy brother.
