STOCKHOLM (AFP) - 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.
"I thought at first he was joking with me," 19-year-old Josefin Justin told the paper on Thursday.
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 30,000 kronor (4,000 dollars, 3,215 euros).
"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 couldn't 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."

That's beautiful, I can totally see where the bloke is coming from, what's the point of a Porsche if you're old? It's a wonderful admittance of utter desire in the face of hopelessness.
When I'm old, if I didn't have any kids who were stoked about my cars, I'd give them to beautiful women.
"Here love, the keys to my Suzuki Jeep, watch out for the hole in the floor"
"Darling, you are so beautiful I'll give you my old mini-The snag is it needs a new engine"
"You are so beautiful, I was inspired to make the overture of giving you my other mini, the whole thing needs to be totally rebuilt"
"I was moved by your elegance and poise to offer you the token of my full race garden tractor, I must warn you that whilst it will pull wheelies, out accellerate most supercars it has no front brakes and if you hit it too hard, you'll lock the back ones up"

I don't see it as desire, ie 'if I give you my car I would like/expect you sleep with me', just generosity. She probably can't afford to run or insure it but she can always sell it on and a few K to a 19y/o waitress is a lot.

No I see it as desire, he knows he can't sh*g her, but this is the next best thing for him, making a beautiful woman feel grateful too him.
