A Fiat is an expensive car? Which shithole city is that?
Hmmm, I can't help but compare this to the "freaky" lady who used to pretend that she was crazy here in Toronto. She was called out by a reporter who followed her home. She had nice leather furniture, a large screen TV, and certainly was not crazy. That caused a big stink when the story broke.
This grandma though...hmmm. Let's look at this from the other side. She's not spending the money on bad things. The video didn't say if she was living on her own or not. I assume she is because she has bills to pay and all that. A new car will have fewer problems mechanically than a used car. And frankly, she's not going to live long enough to put serious mileage on that car. It will still have significant value that she can pass on to her children. I personally never buy used cars so I see it from that perspective.
The US has crappy health care. That is known. When someone gets that old, and is living on her own, life can be tough. Yes, a new car is suspicious, but it's not a Porsche or anything. It's a small sensible commuter that shouldn't depreciate as fast as a domestic.

Who's the bigger idiot?
The person standing on the corner asking strangers for money? Or, the passers by that give it to them for no apparent reason?
This is why I never give ANYTHING to panhandlers.

here we have one of our resident trolls, starting a thread for the expressed purpose of allowing the usual suspects to bash panhandlers and therefore feeling good about themselves..

But that's not true! You give them plenty. Angry glares, I bet. Heaps and heaps of ill will. You give them scorn. You give the the benefit of your wise sanctimony and offer them the shining example of someone with the ability to consider a fellow human being as nothing more than a speck. You sir, are a fountainhead of wealth for panhandlers. And you even give them something genuinely good, believe it or not. You give them the knowledge that no matter how low they sink, no matter how deep in pits of poverty, mental illness, drug addiction and despair they ever get, no matter that they might lose a limb to frostbite or gangrene, they will at least never be so much of a contemptible asshole as to judge every single individual in a group based on the sensational and anecdotal tales of a scammer or two. They also get to know that even if they spend all their time muttering the word "walnuts!" to the griffins in their beards or shouting at street lights, they'll never be so delusional as to take up such a posture as yours, or believe that such a pose in any way mitigates the fact that they refuse to give solely because they are a selfish and cheap cunt.Who's the bigger idiot?

I used to live in an apartment on a busy intersection that was worked hard by a panhandler. One afternoon while on my balcony I started really watching this guy do his thing. He'd show up every day at 7am like he's going to work, set up on his corner, and then work the traffic for 1-2 hr "shifts" with breaks of 15-20 mins where he'd dip into Timmies for a bathroom or coffee break. His day usually ended at around 4pm. My roommate and I estimated he must have been bringing in over $20-30/hr easily. We lived there 2 yrs and he was there pretty much dry day except Sunday's.
