NO! Damn rich kid..spoiled kid. You have a car; be happy!

[Descartes]

It seems you're pissed off at those who are more successful than you, regardless of how they obtained it.

Do you think everyone should work two jobs and be pissed off at life to derive any value from it?

 

[MichaelD]

Most of you are missing the point completely, as usual.

I'm not pissed off that I had to drive a crappy car. Because back then, to me, it wasn't crappy! It was a Low Budget Cadillac! 😎 I knew I was lucky to have one in the first place, unlike most of you little spoiled brats that feel that you're OWED a new Eclipse or something.

For those of you that work and pay your own insurance (or help pay it) good for you. You should be proud of yourselves.

For those of you that don't have to work b/c mom and dad either won't let you or they jsut don't bug you about it b/c they make plenty of $$$, good for you. You have no idea how lucky you are.

Just remember that once you become an adult and actually have to work for a living that the world owes you nothing.

All you little spoiled bastards can kiss my poor ass. You have a frickin' car. It runs...it probably even has a CD player. Be happy, dammit!!! :| You are SO spoiled; you've no idea.

My first car (in 1985) was a 1978 (seven years old...fourth owner) Chevy Nova. L6...ate a quart of oil/week, no AC, vinyl bench seat up front, no radio. I was IN HEAVEN! 😀 It was wheels, man. It was "Mike's Mobile Hotel On Wheels." 😎

Back then, if you had a car, PERIOD, you were The Man.

Got news for ya, youngins'; you don't need to be Vin Diesel to be KEWL and L33T; you just need a car that runs.

So stop whining, you big bunch of pussies. Be GRATEFUL (what a concept, huh?) that your parents scraped together enough change to GET you a car to begin with.

OK. I feel better now.

You are one bitter person. You think you're the poorest guy who has ever faced this planet. You are like a jealous little kid: "The others always get stuff and I don't *cry cry cry*". Get over it already. There ARE people who are wealthier then you, deal with it.

You're such a tard. Where in this thread did I whine about "you have a better car than I and I'm jealous?" I didn't. So you can take your flaming rhetoric and shove it up your ass. I don't begrudge anyone anything. What I do have a problem w/is ungrateful little sniveling snobs.

Am I jealous that I didn't have better? Of course I am.

Close enough.

You think that a parent who buys their kid a 350Z or a 3-series bimmer is going to just cut them off? Chances are the kid will float through the rest of their life on the financial foundation of their parents. Who cares?

You just SOUND like a jealous brat. In about every thread someone asks a "What car should my parents get me", you whine about, how they are spoiled little brats. Why do you bother to read that thread?

 

[MichaelD]

I read it b/c:

1. I can
2. I'm interested
3. If it's a real thread like "my parents are buying me a USED car...help them make a good choice" then I try to help

If it's another 16 year old whining that he wanted an Eclipse but got a Corolla instead...then I TRY to keep my mouth shut. Really.

No, I'm not. If you think I'm bad now, you should've seen me when I was 16. :Q There's a reason I look like this. 😉

Anyway, IMO, you are just bitter, that's all. Ei, we also need these kinda peeps 😉

My first car cost me $75. It was a 1978 Mercury capri. Bought a used head and cam at the junk yard for $125 and fixed it myself. Drove that car for about a year and a half.

I agree with you 100% about the kids not learning the value of money. I had to work for everything I got. My dad did give me a 1969 camaro for graduation. But we had been working on it for a couple years and I had already put about $3000 into it. Hell that car was the reason I got my first job. My old man told me either I get a job or he sells the car. I had one that same week. Bagging groceries at Sentry.

You spoke my mind!!!!! I really like you Mike 😀

<-- is currently driving a 10 year old Ford POS that I curse every time I get behind the wheel. But the engine runs like clockwork (after spending many a weekend working on it), it has 4 wheels, has a good mileage and i even put in a CD player that is loud enough to acoustically drown out any problems it has had in the past (what you don't hear, you don't fear).

/recalls sour memory

I *had* a car. It was my uncle's old 89 Celica ... it was rusting, needed work, and me and my dad were fixing it up. And it was going to be mine on my 17th when I got my G2 license.

Then my other uncle ran it with no oil and left it under a bridge where a chunk of ice caved in the roof. 🙁

No, I'm not joking.

ouch! sorry to hear that! Are you going to get another beater or are you now wheel-less?

I never complained about my first car - I had no reason to.

Lexus powah.

 

[RabidMongoose]

I guess some people that receive a lot from their parents when they're children end up as 'spoiled & annoying' people that feel like the world owes them everything and act arrogant.

And some people that don't receive much from their parents end up as jealous annoying and bitter people that feel like they know hard work and responsibility and act arrogant.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

as long as your parents teach you that money should be valued and instill good values into their children I see no problem in a parent buying their child a car. My parents are supporting me all the way until I finish college and start working at a REAL JOB, not some minimum wage summer job. I don't expect them nor do I want them to support me after I am done with college. But while they are supporting me I'm not going to protest if they get me a car.

 

[jonmullen]

aye men I just want a car...hopefully my parents will get me one b4 school starts.

There's difference between being greatful and accepting leeway with a purchase.

Let's toss out an example all of you should be able to grasp; computers! Your old P233, while working fine, is quite a dated machine and has been upgraded about as far as it'll go. Your folks offer to buy you a new Dell, with any options you want (their words), just pick.

How many people would
a) Order themselves a top of the line uber-machine
b) Order a machine with what are accepted as medium/high-end options for the time.
c) Order a machine with factory defaults
d) Decline the gift, as you machine is doing what you want.

Bonus question if you picked a or b: The machine come, and instead of what you ordered you have machine c. Do you
a) Call Dell, ask WTF happened to your machine
b) Call parents, ask what happened to the specs you gave them
c) Say nothing about the incorrect machine, because it was an unasked for gift anyway.

This was based on a situation a friend of mine was in last year.

Let's see where it goes 😎

-- Jack Kain

I've bought every computer I've had... so I have no idea what I'd do in that situation. 🙂

That was over 4 years ago. Still have no car to call my own, but I'm second in the chain on the Civic.

[PoPPeR]

well if I picked the computer and something else came, i'd call Dell because if I ordered it they most likely screwed it up. If my parents ordered it then I'd call Dell first anyways and ask what my parents ordered to see if it's correct, and if that's what they ordered then i'd ask my parents anyways because my parents don't even know how to turn on a computer and chances are more likely they screwed up and didn't decide to order something other then what I asked for. As far as cars go, my parents think they know a lot about cars and thus will never buy a Mazda 6, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, or Domestic cars. In other words they'll only buy Toyota/Lexus or Honda/Acura. Of course there's nothing wrong with those, especially if you want reliability which I assume is what kids should be getting, but even for themselves they wont buy anything but those.

Haha... this reminded me of something. Where I went to college, there were a LOT of spoiled rich kids. A lot of the spoiled rich girls were social work or education majors, because they wanted to "make a difference in the world." I hope they at least realized that "making a difference in the world" doesn't pay enough for them to afford a BMW like the ones mommy and daddy bought them. I couldn't help but laugh at the 4 student teachers who rented a 3000 square foot apartment in downtown Indianapolis - like they'd ever be able to afford that on a teacher's salary! I was quite happy with the 600 sq ft $395 a month apartment I lived in. I had to sit in a car listening to one of those obnoxious social work majors go on and on about how she'd never buy clothes at Old Navy, because they're just so cheap compared to Abercombie... woah... someone is in for a rude awakening. Unfortunately mommy and daddy will probably always buy her stuff.

Who cares?

Edit: another category of obnoxious spoiled rich kids: the ones who BRAG about their car.
