[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 265723, member: 547749"] No offense...But it's rather offensive to your parents to play up like you can't afford a car so THEY pay for it, and then deck it all out with expensive goodies, isn't it? Rather taking advantage? Why would you expect your parents buy you a car? Feelings of entitlement?
