I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your dad has sacrificed a lot more for you than you are going to for him.

Funny stuff. Not going to flame FBI.

I'm just glad my kids aren't as selfish and spoiled. Your posts really make me appreciate my kids.:D

ARGH! My dad is taking my car tomorrow so he can drive some client up north to some deposition for some stupid trial, he is putting 140 miles on my engine and only offering me a lousy 50 bucks. I'll have to spend 10x that amount in engine repairs later on. Now I have to drive to my class in a blue mini van, how embarrassing, this really bites. :|

if your car is that big of a piece of sh1t that it is going to cost you 500 bucks because it was driven 140 miles. take the 50 bucks and buy another piece of sh1t with it. personaly i wouldn't even ride in a car that is going to need engine repairs from driving 140 miles...
and i suppose that your dad is paying for your schooling? you sound pretty damn ungrateful to me. how come i also get the feeling that he probably also gave you the car in question?

Ok, the car is a '99 Chevrolet Lumina with 75,500 miles on it. I spent $100 on preventative maintanance on it every 3 months at Jiffy Lube. Plus I try to keep the mileage down by not taking unnecessary trips. I'm really trying to get this car to last.


yea, that car really better last you if you are uncapable of handling a couple of math classes

Big deal, that's worth all of about $14...

B. I have to drive around town in a god damn minivan tomorrow.
What's wrong with a minivan? Lots of kids don't have wheels, be glad he trusts you to drive his car.

By the way I have an update for you people. This morning I had to drive my mom to work and spend $30 on gas. Then I had to give her $10 for lunch. THEN when I got home the gardener had to be paid, so I had to give him another $60. I'm getting shafted left and right today! All of that on TOP of my dad taking my car. Ok, this is really starting to suck.
That's it. This is just too damn stupid to be real. I'm calling Skoorb Effect.

No, I paid for the gas that is in the tank. His boss is reimbursing him for the trip and I am trying to get him to give me that money too.

why r u throwing such a big hissy fit? i don't know ur relation with ur dad, but is he not the same guy who brought u into this world and raised u? borrowing ur car isn't that big a deal. if my dad asked to borrow my car, i would have no problem with it, much less take the $50. and besides... he's not leaving u hanging without a ride. blue minivan or pink polka dot minivan... it gets from point a to point b.

I would SO drive a pink minivan. That would be awesome.

:D

Oh good lord...

You own a $3,000 car that your parents paid 2/3 of, and you bitch cause they want to use it?

My Suburban cost me $20,000, I paid every penny of that, and my parents can use it any time they want, I won't accept any money for it either...

Sheesh...

I smell a spoiled brat here...

LOL! I hope his dad finds this thread! :D

Then don't take it, hoof it for a day if you're so bothered by the van.

You are ungrateful young man, your father should smack you...

You sounding like a realy anti-social person who thinks their parents are only in their way. Give you Dad a friggin hug when he leaves tomorrow and ask him to drive safely.

Feel lucky you even have parents to bitch about
Oh God thank you, you made the point!!!

Who gives a flying fvck about the living conditions, YOU DON'T PAY RENT for God's sake...

Sheesh...
