<<You guys really can't be calling him a spoiled brat or calling him a dick...you have no idea what his overall situation really is. You just know the very little bit that he has told you here. For all you know, his mom may have taken that money and spent it on herself, or who knows what else. And even if the money DID go to support him, why can't she just tell him that when he asks?>>


It is irrelevant what his situation is. He is bitching that his Mother owes him an explaination of where the money went. Sorry, but that is none of his business, unless he was sleeping in a cradboard box while his Mother was living in a posh hotel eating Bon-Bons.

And if they got 11,000 for the car, why would she be upset if he wants to spend a total of 7500 of it on a new car?? That still leaves 3500 left over. >>



I still want to know who paid for the car in the first place, if his mom did and its in her name and her insurance why should he get it, he ruined a car and should get money to get something faster so he can do it again??

<< Before your 18 you OWN NOTHING. Bottom line. >>


That's BS. If you work and buy your own stuff, it's yours. Bottom line.

But anyway, back to the topic...
I agree with the general consensus that this guy is a spoiled little brat I don't care how rich a family is, if they do everything for their kid and buy them frigging Integra's, they'll turn into spoiled brats! Part of this could be jealousy though...since I had to pay for pretty much everything except for shelter/food/etc. and this includes college. My bank account is empty plus I have a loan.....I just try not to think about my financial situation So yeah I'm jealous of spoiled brats!!! ya bastards have it so easy /rant

 

[boyRacer]

Ha ha ha...you're getting flamed like a mofo. Well just to make you feel better, I know people 'worst' (if you think this is on the border of being soooo bad) than this. This guy is 23, and his parents bought him an S2000. They gave him two 50,000 credit cards and a condo. He goes to vegas every week on his daddys plastic card, stays at Mandalay Bay suites and whatever else rich boys do. This guys isn't even done with college yet. WTF? His parents drive like a 4runnrer and they're still working their ass off. Anyways, I know some of you people know kids with Ferraris or what not, but I hate people that have way too much money. Maybe I'm just jealous. Ha ha ha. I am.

She could tell him. He didn't ask her for the money. He just wanted to know what she did with it.

Well, if you collect $11,000 in insurance money for a car, don't you think that money should go back to a new car? That's the point of the insurance....so if you wreck your car, you can get a comparable car to minimize the loss. Duh.

 

[Servnya]

I'm with AmusedOne on this. To say that you hate the woman who has taken care of you your whole damn life is pretty fvcking pathetic. You should be grateful for everything she has done, and will no doubtedly continue to do for you. I can't wait until you come to a rude awakening and get a taste of the real world.

Two words - grow up.

<< They are your parents, they don't have to tell you a damned thing about their money matters. >>



If his father died and the money was supposed to go to him, then he does deserve to know every little detail about where his money went.

 

[StageLeft]

Well "you don't need the motor swap, and changing parts doesn't add value to the car, and don't you think you need food clothes." she IS right that it doesn't add value to the car. Not really anyway. You throw a $4500 engine into a $3k car you can bet your ass that car won't be sellable for $7500. No way, no how! On the other hand it seems your money to spend.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Who paid for the teg? Who payed for the mods?

You're right about insurance, they don't give a crap if you have a $2000 stereo installation or whatever. So in that sense, you're right about actual value of the car (it does add value). However, an engine swap in a normal/semi-normal car does not add much value to it. Look in the local paper - cars with "new engine" or "rebuilt engine" go for less than cars with stock engine and a bunch of miles.

Really, if you didn't make the money, then it's not yours. What about your mom? Does she work? How does she plan to live when she gets older and can't work? I understand your situation with your father dying and share my condolences. My father is in very poor health and probably will not be around more than a year. I have 5 other siblings in my family and my parents never made much more than a modest living. My father saved and has life insurance/etc, which makes up a pretty decent chunk of change for after he's gone. Yeah, it would be nice to spend the money on new cars and other toys, but what about my mother? She needs that money to live on, and I get the feeling your mother does to. Unless you see that she is frivolously spending it, I don't think you can say anything. I don't think you can blame her for asking you not to work, it was a better deal for everyone involved.

Personally (I'm 19 & in school full time), I feel bad because I don't have a job and just make a little money doing odd jobs, while my other siblings did/do have jobs while in school and beyond. Maybe you should get a job and then you won't have to worry about getting money from you mom (me takes same advice ).

Well I'm sure he doesn't mean he HATES his mom. But, generally, and this is probably flame bait, but I do relate and I have proof since I am taking an Asian American class. Asian parents generally provide almost EVERYTHING possible to their children to guarantee, ahem, GUARANTEE that they succeed in life. Which leaves out no excuse for their children if they fail. And if they do, then the parents sorta takes it as their own failure. Now, today's generation (where i belong) of asian kids take this for granted, cars, food, shelter and i guess it sort of 'abnormal' when parents do not want to give you something less than what YOU think you should get. I am generalizing of course, but I presume this applies to most. I for one would have to work my ass off for my own car since I did crash my car, and it was MY fault.

<<That's BS. If you work and buy your own stuff, it's yours. Bottom line.>>

In the United States of America, you do NOT own anything until you reach the age of 18. That is a fact. Your parents are still responsible for you, hence they own you.


<<She could tell him. He didn't ask her for the money. He just wanted to know what she did with it.>>


Yes, she could, but I don't feel that this situation warrants a parent answering to a child.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

<< P.S. - I think your a dick just for saying you hate your Mother. >>


Tha't not a fair judgment to make. You don't know him or his mother, and you have no idea how she treats him, etc.

I hate my mom. In fact, I truly loathe her. "Oh but she brought you into this world and clothed you and fed you!" Bullsh*t she did.In her 40 years of life in this world she's worked a total of about 5 years. My mother is a manic deppressive with what appears to be signs of obsessive compulsive disorder as well. She constantly nags and grates my nerves and has been doing this since I was about 14 (I'm 18 now). My father works his ass off to pay for the house, her car, his truck, insurance, and this nice pool table I'm sitting 5 feet from (after working so hard for so many years, he wanted to splurge for once). My father I respect, but that doesn't mean I like him either. He used to be a wife-beating alcoholic and what he's done to my mother I'll never forgive. Damn, I wonder why mom is a manic depressive. :|

People don't have to get along with their parents. I rarely ever talk to either of them. They let me live at home for free - until I start college at Toledo U, which is a $13,000/year school that I will be paying for by myself- so I keep quiet and don't complain.

You have no f**king right to judge him by a few paragraphs of type on an online forum.

<< Yes i know i sound like a spoiled brat that throws a fit when he doesn't get what he wants... >>

While it is difficult to know what the real situation is, judging by your story that statement above sounds about right.

 

[Daniel]

Deeko I'm quite familiar with how insurance works, obviously you get money back, my point was his mom spent the money in the first place buying him a car which he proved he wasn't responsible with, when the car is ruined she gets the money, its not his to play with and choose as he wants.

 

[Sephy]

I really wonder sometimes about the almost lack of friend-type relationship some of you have with your parents. I have a great relationship with my mother, shes like my best friend. She doesn't consider it disrespectful if I don't like her cooking, or the way she may do something. I'm also not afraid to ask her a question like where has money gone from my deceased fathers SS benefits(though I haven't), except I know where it went, my tuition, and had no need to ask. We can talk very candidly amongst one another because we know we respect one another don't think something so small(like not liking cooking, as in AaronP's thread) is that big of a deal. It would be different if I were calling her a f*cking b*tch or something, which I wouldn't. Hate to live in some of your houses, or have some of you as parents.
BTW, I'm sure he doesn't hate his mother, he's just frustrated that he had an insurance claim of over 11 grand for a car that got wrecked, and he can't use that money for the car he wants. I'm so sure none of you have ever said you hate this and that in frustration

 

[SiLEighTy]

sorry everyone for leaving out the detail on how i crashed my car.

There was a turn going into a tunnel..

it just finsihed raining and the road was slick....

Before the entrance of the tunnel, theres these white bumpy things in the road..

When i went over that,, my back wheels lost traction and spun out in the tunnel.

And no i wasn't speeding. I was going about 55 and decreasing speed.

 

[Tauren]

<<You have no f**king right to judge him by a few paragraphs of type on an online forum.>>


Yes i do. If people don't want to be judged by their words, they shouldn't post them on a public forum.

I do not like my Father because he used to beat the crap out of me. I left home when I was 15 and I don't talk to him now, but I don't hate him either. That's called maturity.

 

[OrByte]

Knightbreed- I am sorry it seems to you that your parents are fvcked, but to say you hate them????

Also, your mother's problems seem related to mental health......how could you HATE her for that? do you think she WANTS to be the way she is?

Show some compassion.....be a better person with a little bit more understanding. I am not saying, "you have the perfect home environment you just need to open your eyes" but to HATE is very harsh. Think long and hard.

Back on topic...... I think younger people today just don't know how serious it is to HATE someone

 

[GasX]

Serves you right for wanting to rice out your car...

Get a mustang, dude

 

[avx]

Raise your right hand if you bought your own first car!

Raise your left hand if you had to pay all your own insurance, gas, fix-ups/mods, etc...

Seriously... isn't that fraud?

No. It is considered survivor benefits.

damn i feel for ya...

<<
A money check comes in the mail address to my mom, but says "FOR" then my name, & my sisters name. If your asking how i got social security, i think my dad filed for disablity because he had a very bad heart problem. which killed him at the end.

Do you work? I know it's a stupid question, but I had to work very hard for my money and in a simple second, it is all gone. Where does it all go!??!?!?! Beats the crap out of me though... >>



I believe that it is a form of "child support"? Since an average kid costs several hundred thousand dollars to raise, be glad she is not asking you for the difference
