Dad sells son’s truck online for smoking weed

Possibly inspired by the Minnesota mom who sold her daughter’s truck for skipping class, a Florida father recently sold his son’s truck online. A Jacksonville, Florida, man recently sold his son’s Ford Explorer online because of the 16-year-old’s penchant for smoking weed and ‘acting all thug’ in the father’s words. To add a little insult to injury the father offered to take $250 off the price if the buyer lived in the same neighborhood so his son could ‘see it every now and then and be reminded of how good he had it’.

The father continues…

“Now he can put those Jordans to use walk his a** off on these hot summer days!” his father wrote in the post.

The sale of the truck seems to be working as the father has said that his son has approached him about turning over a new leaf.
