Stockholm, August 18: A waitress in Sweden thought her elderly customer was joking when he offered her his Porsche as a tip, but he kept his word and gave her the keys to the car, daily Aftonbladet reported on Thursday.
“I thought at first he was joking with me,” 19-year-old Josefin Justin told the paper.
Justin was waiting tables at the Njuraanger cafe in sundsvall in Central Sweden when the man, who had recently retired and was dining with a group of gentlemen, asked her age.
When she told him, “he said I would get his Porsche as a tip”.
“At first I was a little suspicious but I didn’t get the feeling he was hitting on me or anything, he just seemed really nice,” she said.
She got his phone number and the next day when she called him, he said he remembered his generous offer. Accompanied by her father, she went to the man’s house to pick up her new car.
It turned out to be 1979 Porsche 924 worth 4,000 dollars.
“It needs a little work, a paint job among other things, but we checked it out and everything was fine,” Justin said.
The man, who asked to remain anonymous, told the paper he could not really explain why he gave her the car.
“I was just sitting there in the restaurant and looked her in the eyes and saw an angel and thought to myself ‘the Porsche, she should have it’,” he said.
Asked if he had any regrets, he replied, “no, absolutely not”.

I had a friend who had a 1964 Volvo in 1979. He needed a generator, but Volvo and all the car parts stores wanted $100 smackers for a rebuilt. He noticed that the Bosch generator had a part number beginning with "113-". At the time all right hand drive (Not UK) VW parts began with "113-". So he called a parts store and asked for a rebuild generator with a part number "113-...." and got one for $50.
LOL! I said the same thing to myself....
Can we mix and match?
Last two girls and first car.
Oh, and the cars look cool too.
