Steven Ortiz Swaps Cell Phone for Porsche:1975 Ford Bronco – Ever wanted a 1975 Ford Bronco to impress the ladies? Well meet 17-year-old Steven Ortiz of Glendora, CA, it took him two years and 14 trades to make his old cell phone magically turn into a luxurious automobile, and you can do it too.
Starting with an old cell phone a friend gave him, Ortiz (who should go straight to business school) used Craigslist to trade up for a better a phone, he gave up the phone for an iPod Touch, the iPod Touch was traded for a dirtbike.
Continuing on, he traded the first bike for better dirtbikes, the dirtbikes were swapped for a MacBook Pro that was switch with for a Toyota 4Runner, which was then bartered for a custom off-road golf cart. And 14 swaps, 2 years later the 4Runner landed him a nice Porsche Boxster.

But unlike MacDonald who had a fanbase and a huge website, Ortiz did it all alone sitting in his room.

Oh my god, I have been basically doing this for forever (and I’m 17) this is so funny! My friends called me retarded for doing this, but i told them it works
Wtf, this is retarded. It doesn’t work. This kid spent 5-6 hours a day for two freaking years to get a $9,000 Porsche. You might as well work part time for minimum wage, you’d get waaay more money.

The real story is how this kid wasted 2 years of his life spending 5 hours a day to only end up with a porsche. Kid could’ve had a mininum wage job for the same time and would’ve had enough for ’2′ porsche boxers and job experience to put down on this resume…
