Wow
So I spotted a 1m coupe a few weeks back in my town. I went on the forum trying to see if I could locate the driver no luck... So I run into him yesterday and tell him great car. He tells me it\'s okay I wanted something better. He was about 17 years old. I laughed and said yeah jokingly should have gotten an m3. Kid says no I wanted a gtr but parents a cheap..... Really what a jerk

It seems to be a big American thing to buy your kids cars - not so much here in Oz.
I was told if I wanted a car I had to save my own money and buy it myself - makes you appreciate it more I think. |

That's nothing. I live in a town with way too much money. At the local high school down the street a kid got busted a few years back after the shady character he was working with got busted selling the kid's M3 for insurance fraud. The kid arranged for his car to be 'stolen' so he could have the insurance money as a deposit on a Bentley!!! Life must be tough when your M3 isn't enough to impress the kids! (I wouldn't know I had to take the bus or walk to school.)

The kid is quite ungrateful. I appreciated any car I got as long as it ran reliably and had heat (it's so cold here). Parents should have gotten him a gtr and a 20 million life insurance policy.

WOW. What an ungrateful prick! I wonder though.....I find that a lot of people that are given permission to drive their family member's exotic car say these types of comments to kind of compensate for the awkward feeling when someone complements them on the car. I am not a psychologist, but from personal experience those comments, in my opinion, come from compulsive liars. He might just be driving his dads car.....and I hope so because he does NOT deserve to be driving it.
Might be over thinking.... He may just be an asshole ungrateful idiot. |

I would never buy my kid a brand new car. I worked for everything I have ever owned and I feel like it made me who I am today and how I appreciate everything I bought with my own money and am 100% independent. Some people have it the other way. To each their own I guess.

At 17 i still was taking a bus from school/work. At 18 I brought my own VW golf that unfortunately i totaled due to it having suspension issues (heated springs) and bold tires, which i couldn't save in the rain.
But now at 19 i have my e36 M3 that i payed for with my OWN money and pay $240 a month for insurance + gas/all of my expenses all by myself. I greatly appreciate my car (even though it has a lot of problems), it was my dream car and i love every piece of it. I can't imagine complaining about having a brand new 40,000 handed to you that you dont have to worry about whats going to brake next, but again...in LA, i've seen brand new M5's/M3/335s/range rovers handed out to kids so doesn't surprise me at all. |

I can't really complain, I had a brand new C230 when I was 16.
Lease payments were pretty cheap, around $400/month. My parents paid for my insurance, but I paid for the car and the gas. They signed for it though; no way a 16 year old could lease a new merc
