    How amazing is this story. The fact that he said he was going to help his buddy and his buddy's mom out financially because of their inability to work right now speaks volumes about this young man. This was an unfortunate accident. Thank you, Dave and crew, for helping this young man out. That speaks volumes about the men you all are. Blessings on you all from Proctor Minnesota!

      @@PatientXero607 Cut the kid some slack. Working while going to school and has been raised right to want to give all his earnings to his friend and friend's family, so he seems able to learn from his mistakes. As far as expensive brands, he works at a golf club (high end from the looks of it) and they probably have uniforms for employees. The Jeep was used and had been wrecked and put back together (badly) so he probably got it for a good deal.

      @@troycurrie7784 Good eye; the clothes he wore earlier in the video didn't appear to be overly extravagant or expensive and Dave went to his work place to hand over the jeep, where the lad was clearly wearing a uniform (I didn't know it was a golf club though). Heck, the hat had STAFF written on it!
      As you said; Its clear he felt and took responsibiluty for what happened and I commend him for going the extra step by freely giving his wages to his friend and the friend's family while the lad is unable to work.

      He seems like a good kid that genuinely feels horrible for causing injury and inconvenience to his friends and their families. It's not often you hear someone forking over their wages to pay for someone being out of work until the have been sued for it. Especially when they are probably making 8 dollars an hour, which Max probably is.

    Owning a Jeep Wrangler myself, I understand how devastated this young man must have been. His concern for his hospitalized friend is admirable. And his gratitude to the team for recovering and reconstructing his Jeep is a joy to witness. Yet another heartwarming story of how Heavy D and the Team selflessly share their time and resources to do amazing feats of generosity and goodness. They provide inspiration and a much-needed testament to the goodness of mankind. He and his incredible team are truly angels on Earth. Three things I like about Heavy D include his incredible selflessness, kindness, and compassion. But that wouldn't be complete without adding heroism, courage, strength, intelligence, integrity, and perseverance; yet also vulnerable, loving, and protective. Let's face it, he's an incredibly beautiful man in every way, that anyone would be honored to be friends with.

There are very few men in the world that would do that for that kid and all the other people you help and other things you do that most wouldn’t even think of. I’m old and disabled but I try to help people when I can. It’s only small things but I’m sure it helps in a small way. My brother passed away last Oct over and he wanted me to have his 92 Toyota pick up that he loved more than anything else. While he was in hospice someone stole his truck. The police found it abandoned. They tore it up broke the steering column and ripped out all the wiring. It’s now sitting in a shop in Hemet ca they have supposed to be fixing it but every time I call nothings been done. But I promised my brother I would get it fixed and keep it, so that’s what I’ll do. Just one of my small things I’ll eventually get done. Seeing what you do inspires me more to keep going and fulfill my promise to him. Keep up the awesome things you do and I’ll try to keep doing my small ways to help people when I can. If everyone did these small things and keep spreading the help it makes the world just a little bit better. I’ll keep watching you to help me keep helping when I can. Thanks to you and your crew! God bless!

    I have to admit that I was not in favor of rewarding this kid who made some pretty obvious mistakes that got people hurt. However, when he said he was working to repay his friend’s lost wages that he caused, I was immediately on board from that point on. That takes more moral fortitude than the majority of people possess these days. Good on him and good on you guys as well!!

      Yeah plus we don't know if it was only his mistake. Of course he was the responsible driver but if the group dynamic said "Let's go the more dangerous way. Let's not use seatbelts.. etc", it would be hard to say it's all just his fault and he deserves all the punishment, especially at 16...

Just shows everyone out there, that good things do happen to good people and don't you miss the opportunity to help someone other than your self. It could change your way of thinking for ever.

    Good drivers have "experienced" adverse times. That is how they get good! This kid will be a much more conscientious driver going forward. I hope his experience saves a life by simply telling the story.
    I told my son the story of me rolling my jeep, he's told his friends. While you never know if the storytelling worked, he has a friend who is less crazy driving than a year ago when he got his license.
    It's extremely important for the more experienced to teach the inexperienced to develop better thought process in these kids. Boys will always be boys.
