The speaker recounts an experience in Dagestan, Russia, where they and a group of friends were met with hostility upon their arrival. They were stopped by two cars on a dark road and told to turn around and leave. However, their taxi driver, Magomed, suggested they change clothes at the airport and leave when the hostile individuals had departed. This plan worked, and they were able to proceed to Makhachkala.
The speaker then reveals that they offered Magomed a significant amount of money, to which he initially refused. They later visited him at his home, which they described as modest. They then presented him with a gift of 30,000 rubles, which he used to buy various items at a local market. After purchasing these items, he was surprised with a new car, a 2018 Toyota Camry.
The car was brought to a local observation deck, where Magomed was invited to drive it. He was initially hesitant, but after some persuasion, he agreed. He was shocked when he was informed that the car was his. The speaker reassured him that the car was used, but it was a Camry, which he appreciated.
The speaker concluded the story by thanking Magomed for his help and expressing their hope that he would enjoy the new car.
