1
Oh.
2
Hello?
3
You see it all the time.
4
People list furniture, phones, cars, for free online.
5
Then, when you ask them if it's really free, they say...
6
So I asked myself, what if you messaged someone, but the car was actually free?
7
So I got this car a few days ago from my homeboy Jeff at Lake Johnson Ford.
8
Also, I named the car Jeff.
9
Then I went for a ride in Jeff with Jeff.
10
We got the 16 inches right here It's about the size of a large pizza.
11
Got the fresh Ford in them right there.
12
Let's start this bad boy up.
13
Dude, who was driving this thing?
14
Shaq?
15
I'm below average height Hear that?
16
It's a V8 Power windows So we officially bought the car.
17
We got it all cleaned up We went through the car wash
18
and then we took some bomb pictures for our listening
19
and within a few hours hours we were uploading a free car to the internet and we're live.
20
No one has messaged me for this car.
21
Okay well I got a few messages but it was just people calling me a liar, scammer, and 5-8.
22
Why?
23
How do you know that?
24
I don't know if we'll be able to get rid of it online but I have an idea.
25
Since no one believed me I figured I would take Jeff out of the highway
26
and give him to the first person who stops assuming they want it.
27
It's literally unlocked.
28
Just get inside of this car
29
and take it I don't care now we wait would
30
that sketch you out if you saw
31
that really I think there's just gonna be like a dude
32
inside maybe I come with the car baby it's a bundle
33
anyone can take this car someone please take this car it
34
costs zero dollars here this Tacoma is gonna stop this Tacoma
35
is gonna stop look at Jeff over there look at Jeff over there just doing his time Bang!
36
I named the car Jeff, it's his name.
37
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, here we go.
38
Come on, take the car, take the car.
39
It's a free car, my guy.
40
Jeff is trembling.
41
Is this Jeff's new owner?
42
He opened, oh my gosh. Is it free?
43
What the ?
44
He seems interested.
45
Is he leaving?
46
This is so much harder than I expected.
47
Everyone wants to know what the strings attached are.
48
Why can't I just give you a free car?
49
No way.
50
Where's the car?
51
Where's the car, dude?
52
Did someone take the car?
53
Nah, it's just right there.
54
Logan, did you move it there?
55
I moved it!
56
Now, I'm getting desperate.
57
After two failed attempts at giving away this car, I went to OfficeMax to print out like a hundred flyers.
58
Now I'm actually spending money to give away this car for free.
59
Which is stupid.
60
You giving away a free car?
61
Yeah.
62
Oh.
63
Who could possibly walk by this pole and not accept the free car?
64
What the...
65
So these girls didn't actually want the car, but they offered to help us find someone that would.
66
It's really like a referral program, like whoever can give away the most, um...
67
Cards?
68
Flyers?
69
Yes.
70
Okay.
71
You don't like a free car?
72
Uh, I don't want to be doing this.
73
You're saying no?
74
I don't want a free car.
75
Alright, well...
76
We're doing a free car giveaway?
77
Hey guys, you're doing a free car giveaway?
78
No, thank you.
79
It'll be alright.
80
She was wrong.
81
No one accepted my flyers.
82
So next I went to the only place that I know that cars like to hang out.
83
Parking lots.
84
I put flyers in car windshields.
85
I even put flyers on empty parking spots because obviously someone would have parked their car there if they had a car.
86
Who am I kidding?
87
That doesn't make any sense.
88
Next I spent all day reaching out to billboard owners so I can get an ad up.
89
Trying to find the cheapest option I possibly could.
90
$2,500 to $7,500 each per month.
91
Are we really gonna spend that much money trying to give away a free car?
92
We have to do it.
93
We have to do this.
94
What are we doing?
95
Alright, here we go.
96
Oh my god No way dude.
97
Let's go farther.
98
Oh way dude That is wild.
99
It's kind of embarrassing the sheer number of cars
100
that are seeing my face right now There's someone out there that wants this vehicle.
101
That's what I'm trying to see look up there That's me okay, if we don't get a phone call by the end of the night like I quit That was a lot of money.
102
I didn't get a phone call.
103
So I'm running out of options.
104
So yesterday I posted a TikTok about the car and I said top comment wins.
105
Top comment gets the free car.
106
So I'm gonna check who the winner is.
107
Oh my gosh.
108
It has four million views and the top comment is...
109
Oh my gosh.
110
You're kidding me.
111
So after four days and almost $4,000 of trying to give away this car in real life, I decided to check our listing one last time.
112
Now the offers are rolling in.
113
Is this still available?
114
Hello, is this still available?
115
Hi, Ryan Price.
116
What the price?
117
I know, not free.
118
Angela, it's free.
119
What's the real price on the Fiesta?
120
Travis, I'm gonna keep it $3,000.
121
I was about to say I love you just because the, you know, the Iron Man.
122
It's free.
123
It's free.
124
It literally is just free of charge.
125
What would you be willing to pay, Dawn?
126
What a gorgeous name.
127
Good afternoon.
128
Is this still available?
129
Come on, Nyleen.
130
Free.
131
Zero dollars.
132
My husband said there has to be a cash to it.
133
Your husband's a liar.
134
I'm just kidding.
135
Let me chill out without it.
136
How much is it?
137
Please free.
138
I think that's what I says Dang, maria thumbs up It's quick a little thumbs up as well.
139
Ding please don't be hostile.
140
It's free Gosh, man.
141
Everyone asks what's free.
142
What's wrong with it?
143
Only thing wrong with it is
144
that you ain't driving it I am like salesman of the year here I've been at this for hours
145
and literally no one believes that I am actually giving away a car for free I'm literally begging people at this point.
146
Please come take it.
147
Please.
148
Hey, Seuss, it's free.
149
Please take it.
150
Maria, come take it.
151
I'm not playing.
152
Maria was so mad at me.
153
So after hours of DMing people, someone finally wanted to give me a shot and look at this car.
154
My man's Jose.
155
This man is a legend.
156
Look at the question marks, the dollar signs.
157
That's four question marks in a row.
158
So Jose said his car broke down and he needs another one
159
and he wants to know the price to come see it and make a deal today.
160
Look at that man!
161
That's a savage right there.
162
I already know he's got kids.
163
This is literally every dad's profile picture on Facebook.
164
No way is that his real hair.
165
Yes sir!
166
That's my boy right there.
167
So I actually have some challenges for Jose just to make sure that he's actually a good owner for Jeff.
168
First I want to see if this dude's gonna put on his mask whenever he gets out of his truck.
169
Alright, here's the car.
170
Well done Jose.
171
This is it.
172
Oh hello.
173
Hey y'all nice to meet you.
174
Well here can we go for a test drive?
175
Okay okay you can drive.
176
Next I put $500 in the cup holder so
177
when we go for a test drive and I get out of the car we'll see if he takes it.
178
I'm actually gonna go get some a snack.
179
Okay I'll be right back.
180
He's literally so nice.
181
Not only that, but I'm going to tell Jose
182
that I forgot my wallet and asked to borrow a dollar to buy some snacks.
183
Do you guys have a dollar?
184
Oh, no, no, no, just one dollar.
185
Oh, thank you.
186
He's so nice.
187
He's so nice.
188
All right.
189
Thank you.
190
I think it's pretty obvious Jose is amazing.
191
So we drove back and I'm gonna tell his family that the car is theirs.
192
Yes sir.
193
Also for gas, here's $500.
194
I'm honestly shocked at how difficult it was to give away a free car.
195
If this video hits 200,000 likes, I'll do this with a Tesla next.
196
So keep an eye out for 5A dudes on the internet giving away free stuff.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
