In the Money

Most young, egotistical guys brag about how they came into some hard core cash from either working hard, gambling, or selling drugs. In Astoria, guys brag about how they came into money by being hit by cars. This is a conversation I witnessed between two young hoods last night on my walk home.

Dude 1: Man, I'm waiting on about 18K from a suit from gettng hit by a car. Can't wait till that shit comes in.

Dude 2: Seriously, man. That's how I got my 35K, gettin' run over by some freak. And when I turn 18, that shit's rolling over to 72K. Sweet.

I heard about this. This is an infamous trick often used by people in Queens because of the sharp turns in the roads and the sudden stop signs. Some people exploit this opportunity and purposely place themselves to be a target. When they get hit, they sue the other drivers.
