Raceview: car roof crushed overnight

We have a number of people in our street who all woke up to a caved in car roof today. I believe many had smashed windows also. If yours was impacted, please report it to QPS so they can all be linked.

Hopefully someone has footage 🤞

20yo son wants to get a $35k car loan

It goes against everything I've ever taught him. I've told him I won't bail him out if he screws up. (But I would 🙄)

Do I convince him it's a terrible idea? How?

Or do I just help him find the best comparison rate?

He works full time, but hasn't been there long (~5-6m) I'm kinda hoping he gets rejected for a loan, but he has $7k for a deposit - half he saved, half is his tax return, so he might get approved? His only expenses are fuel and board. He could easily save the full amount for a car in this price range if he wanted too, but he's got his heart set on "this" car.

Agh 🙄 Parenting is hard.

EDIT: He just asked if I would be a guarantor on a loan. I responded: No. Sorry, I cannot risk my credit and home for you to have a huge loan for a depreciating asset. Hopefully it gives him something to think about.
