Wow..... Is it really going to be YOURs or your going to be driving his? And is it going to be like a 2001 or something?

It's a 2005 model and it will be MINE ONLY. :D guys I really don't want you to think I'm a spoiles little bitch becasue I'm not. I just think I deserved it since I have been saving up since febuary and yet she's only paying $300 (i payd the rest) and won't let me put my $1200 computer together.

Say you bought $900 worth of computer parts and all you had left was to buy a new CPU. The CPU is in your house and yet your mom won't let you put it together until 24 days. How would you feel.

Also my dad has worked VERY hard for his money. We as a familey deserve it.

You said before she paid $685? :confused:



She let me use her credit card to order $685 worth of parts. So technicly she's paid $685 but I have to give her $300 back.

I got the money little bit at a time. Mostly from birthday, holidays allowance eBay. I purchased $365 worth with a monitor and speakers back in May. I just recently bought my MSI K8N-Neo4/SLI and my Xclio 450BL I think in September or August. Which by the way is a good PSU I researched.

A 60K car that will be worth 10K by the time I get it. Just think my dad drives 140 miles to and from work on his work days. He's gone on Buisness trips at least 3 days a week. (Hints why my parents are getting divorced) So by the time I get it in about 3 years it will have atleast 100K miles on it. Plus they are redesigning the 2007 Escalade.

You seriously aren't going to limit your car choices to Escalades are you?

Do you realize they get 17 miles to the gallon(highway)?

You could spend 50k on an escalade, pay twice as much for gas, or get an economical car that gets 34+ miles to the gallon(city) for 20k. Think of how bad ass your computer would be with the extra 40k...

Or you could at least INVEST that 40k, and a few years later have like 50-60k

-Still I don't blame them for giving you a big car for your first driving years, I foresee a lot of wrecks :) I had 2 minor wrecks with my old 94 Explorer, it finally gave up on me and I have a 04 Civic now(payin for it with the money I get from my college job), and I love driving 400+ miles before I have to fill up my 13 gallon tank.

Thats a 3 year old car and it's worth 30k, hardly a $10k car, I'm assuming yours has all of those things, right? And yes I know, it's not the trade in value, yada yada yada but thats how much it'd cost to buy off the lot I'd assume.

Yes, you are spoiled. Please don't say otherwise.

You think deserve a new computer because your dad worked hard for his money? Yeah, that's logical.
