You're right. I am no one to be saying he can have no input. I am not the one that raised an unappreciateive little snit who cries because he doesn't like the kind of car I am purchasing with MY hard earned moeny, with NO contribution from him other than the occasional tank of gas he remembers to refill. But if I were his parents, I would tell him to STFU and start coughing up some cash if he wants to have say in things. MY house, MY rules. MY cash, MY f'ing car. Get it now?
If the car is not for him why would he say "i dont like the idea but i also dont have a job" and "they then laughed in my face and they said, makes you appreciate the idea of a ford focus eh?"
His parents are obviously getting him a car, or at least a family car that he will be driving and their little joke is to teach him to be more appreciative.

You must live in some fantasy land where all parents run their homes like a dictatorship and exclude their children in the decision making process entirely and have their kids grow up to be those who are considered anal whores. I mean when you grew up, your parents must have asked you nothing and done everything without any regards whatsoever about your thoughts and feelings? Must have been nice living in an environment considering you want it to be reproduced in households across American without knowing anything of the situation aside from 150 words written anonymously on the internet.
Hmm, he has no job, but somehow he has a car? How is he paying for the gas, insurance, maintenance, etc? Kickbacks from mommy and daddy? Possibly. As for how old he is, apparently he is still living at home, as his mom had to go "upstairs" (his room?) and break the news to him. As for him not wanting his parents to get a car on the losing end of blah blah blah... it's their fvcking money and I should hope they know how to spend it wisely themselves, and not need the financial counseling of their no job having child.
Now, have a nice day, and when you brush your teeth tonight before going to bed, please remember to rinse with Liquid Plumber.

It must be nice how you're still avoiding the fact that you don't know any of these things and are making assumptions, although likely assumptions. I guess you've never heard of someone living at home merely for the financial benefits? How about not currently having a job because he got fired?
Yea, they should ignore their stupid children because they're younger and obviously don't know as much about everything as the parents do. It must be the same way with everything, with all the other members here posting about how their educated parents need help with computers. But of course, they must be lying because the parents are older and hence must understand the workings of something they don't understand better then their child who has been playing on it for prelonged periods.

You are probably in your teen years and want to drive something a little better. I know I did when I was younger, and it's hard to see how hard your parents actually work. The Excursion does guzzle gas and it probably cost an arm and a leg to fill up. Going with a smaller car right now is probably a good idea since gas prices are pretty high (even in Texas). Until you get out in the real world and try to make ends meet, try to put yourself in yourself in their position. It's hard to see now but as time passes you'll look back and understand. Trust me.

Chris' Dad: "Hey son, how would you like a ford probe gt?"
Chris: "I wouldn't like one, they're crappy cars."
Chris' Dad: "Oh, well I'll just take the one I just bought you back."
Chris: "What?!"
Chris' Dad took the car back, and Chris had to buy his own car with no help from his dad It was a '96 GT... I prefer the '89 GT model over all others, personally...

jesus people, chill out
If my parents would be getting a Kia, I'd be pissed. Pissed because they didn't make the best choice, money-wise. Not only because I don't like Kias.
My dad bought an XG300 when they came out and when he got home, he told me I would be disapointed of the car he had just bought. I was. He ended up selling it a year and a half later because his warranty was over and it kept breaking up. He lost a lot of money on that car. See, parents aren't always right.
Another funny story: my mom was buying a new (new for us) car a few years back but she didn't tell me she had bought one until she came home. She got in the house and told me she had bought a car today, the same car as our neighbor, an old Mazda 323. For a second, I felt like crying. I was trying to find good points about the car. "Oh well, it will be cheaper on gas", and... and.... well I couldn't find anything else. But I got in the living room and saw an Olds Cutlass Supreme outside, I was pretty happy to see that instead of the 323!

no one is bitter about his parents hooking him up.
they are giving him a hard time about whining about what his parents choose to GIVE him.

yea, no kidding. Instead, some asshat has to get up on his soapbox about "paying for your own sh!t" and ruins a perfectly good thread.
on a similar note. two of my sister in-laws have Focus's. they have pretty bad gas mileage, at least compared to our sunfire. They don't seem to be any more reliable either, I know the one has been in and out of the shop a lot, could be an isolated instance, who knows?
Jesus christ you fsckers need to grow up. No I'm not talking about the OP but to most of the people who replied.
When you were a teenager I'm sure you didn't ask for anything or complain did you.
