Basically you're saying you hate ungrateful people, so do I in that case. I'd be hyped if my mother brought me a car - any sort of car. Car is a car and people should respect it, all it counts it gets you places where you want to go. Also I want to be myself and be mature and buy myself my own car because if it breaks down I don't want to crawl to my mother and say "Pay for the fix for the car" which isn't not right to do anyways.

I can understand where you are coming from in this post. The way i see things is like this, I came from a very wealthy family and lived in a very wealthy town. My High School at the day of graduation, kids were getting Mustangs, Challengers and etc. My parents made me work for my stuff. I had a job at 16 years old and worked my butt off to get what i needed. Now, if your parents help you out with some stuff or even lend you some cash. I do not see a problem with that at all. The only time i see a problem with things is if your parents buy you a $75,000 car and you make no effort to work and are lazy and also if you bash people on their vehicle cause they worked hard for it and it may not be as good as yours. I bought my first car and it was a piece of crap

Now i drive a Jeep Rubicon 4 door because i worked for it and worked hard.

Also for the record. Three kids i went to school and got very expensive cars died in motor vehicle accidents.

I have a few friends that have had family members pay for their driving lessons and car. They've never bragged about it but I think it's better to work towards something like that on your own.


They'll never know the true value of owning that vehicle because it was handed to them with little to no effort. When you are able to pay for your own vehicle you will appreciate it that little bit more because you know that you worked for it.

Also - people that brag about their car yet did nothing to get it themselves or achieve any sort of goal to get it piss me off. By brag, I mean CONSTANT boasting and talking about how important they are and acting superior. it's really annoying. If your parents bought it for you because they wanted to, then I understand and it's cool to be humble and all but going to the extent of bragging about it and acting like you run shit is so embarrassing

I can understand this, some people just come from more money than others and some have parents that spoil their children. The person your describing however sounds very ungrateful

I can agree that ungrateful people and people that have no idea what a dollar is worth are quite annoying. My parents HELPED pay for my car in the sense that they paid for it upfront so that I could get to and from college and work, but when I had enough money paycheck wise, I had to pay it back which I thought was very fair and have since paid for my car and what not.

I agree with this as well. Spoiled suburbanites. I'm one too but I pay for my car so

Its not that bad if the parents buy the first car, after that it should solely be your own responsibility.

My family was never steady with money, we would always be kind of struggling.
There were times when I was really young we wouldn't have any electricity for a couple days because my mom couldn't afford the electric bill being a single mother.
She really taught me the value of things and pushed me to always work hard so I will never have to struggle when I'm older.
So I was never able to get a car, I lived in the town and would skate to my job. So there wasn't really a need for a car.

It's crazy how much kids at my high school got their parents to buy them brand new luxury cars. I was always jealous because they had it easy their whole life and they just brag about their cars when they never worked a day in their life.

I'm 19 now, moved out, my girlfriend and I got our own place in a different town.
Still pretty much in the heart of the town, still skate to my job & pretty much everywhere else.
I don't see the need for me to be getting a car anytime soon. (plus gf has a car gg)
