explain to me how i'm a moron because i know the value of a dollar while 60% of my school drives cars 2x the price of mine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
my dad is a cheap ***? hardly, and i'm surprised you'd make a comment like that because me wants me to work for things. i am honestly happier when i sweat my *** off for something than when someone is like HERE TAKE IT! kind of like how i hate those "super pills" on tv. sure i cycle supplements, but cycling requires more exercise than anything. sitting on your fat *** hoping that somethin that looks like an m&m will shed weight is being retarded.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif that m&m thing was funny.

As for your dad... learn to recognize a joke //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

I know your dad doesnt give you a **** thing because he want you to know the value of a dollar. You need to realize that many peoples parents arent like yours //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. I mean your dad wont even let you spend your money on things like cars...(stuff that makes you enjoy your time and have fun).

If ya have the money use it( im talkin spare cash... with investing a good chunk of your worth for sure wether it be stocks property etc.) My point is if ya have the money then use it...what goods money if ya dont enjoy it.

As i mentioned earlier though.. an 18 year old driving that $$ of car you gotta be ungodly rich. If not that would be dumb as shit. I'd rather buy a house in need of some TLC in a nicer neighborhood and fix that b!tch with some buddies the first year of college. The next 3 years you have your own house to party in(wether you let dumb foks trash it is up to you). You would be saving around 15k, having a house and not an apartment(or worse... a dorm), and you'll more than likely make a few g's off the house.

To the original poster, I hope this car will be register in your parents name for now. You are looking at a yearly insurance that is more than most people cars //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

If ya wanna keep arguing, go for it lemans. Im simply stating do hate on people that have the money to buy their kid a car, and are willing to do it.

I'm not gonna keep going back in forth.

I think David and his father have the best attitudes regarding what they believe is ethical and moral. More families with money should be like them. Take note.

Getting stuff for your academic achievements got old after 5th grade. After that, if you got something, cool; but to actually have a choice or a selection on what you want, that's just terrible. That's why I'm glad I never got an allowance (even though we were required to do chores and stuff). Getting rewarded for doing good or for what you're expected to do is insane.
It's not the kid's problem...it's the parent's. The kid can't be blamed for it, however he should at least come to a realization of what his whole life has been about.

Actually,positive reinforcement is the best way to raise a child, but there is a point at which it excessive.

With that said, having gone to a private school and having very rich friends, I have seen what getting cars for gifts do to kids. Everyone of my friends that didnt pay for their cars fuked up their life in one way or another. My one friend didn't graduate, my other friend didnt get into community college because he was too lazy,so now just sits on his *** all day at some dead-end job. The other kid I know gets hella shit for his bday and all that, and just doesn't seem to appreciate all the shit he has, and is a bigass lil ***** who is hella whipped by his girl.

Moral of the story-save the money for college,get a 20k car, and save the 30k for college...invest it in starbucks or something...

while i think that this guys parents are going overboard on a graduation gift, i dont see any kind of problem w/ buying him something as a gift for graduation.......me personally.....my son might get some stuff that will help him w/ college.....but once my son graduates from college he'll get the full amount of the money marekt account i've set up for him....which by that time should be somewhere around 50 or 60k.....but my son wont get any of that till after he's learned the value of a dollar.....all that being said....i'd go w/ the charger if it was my choice....

Who wants to bet that car will see a ditch by the time he's a sophomore?

I'm being nice...I've seen more than a few of the "gift cars" my friends have acquired meet other cars, with not-as-nice results...

I wouldnt bet against that, has he posted in here lately?

OH STFU up people.... cause if you had the chance to get any of these cars you know you would... and you wouldnt complain.

I would take the charger.

Its sweet that you guys have that much money. Wish I was that lucky

I did, and I bought my own deville //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. it wasnt brand new or anything, but whateva.

And honestly, if my mother offered, I wouldnt accept it. Maybe ask for something else.

I will proudly raise the //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bsflag.gif.21f42eccd34b7d1eb1608fb1b59b69c3.gif over this thread because nobody else seems to want to.

...and since I read a bit of it. Having come from an upper middle class family I have long been interested in people's thoughts and obvious jealousy/contempt for those more fortunate than they are.

I would think that keeping your mouth shut and taking pleasure in knowing that you have more sense, compassion, and street smarts than a spoiled kid would be enough. Especially since name calling in these situations is useless. I would agree that working for everything you have is very commendable and forms a character of high moral stature.

I had a friend in my freshman dorm that had NO friends because he was from a quite wealthy family and he was oblivious to how he would subconsciously rub it in within peer groups. People would often ask me how I put up with it and I would always just tell them that he was a nice enough kid and I wasn't phased by his faults. In this instance all his family had done to him is create a person that had severe social deficiencies and thus a hefty handicap for himself when he is off on his own.

For my graduation I received like $50 from my grandparents where my older sister had gotten about $500 from extended family for hers. I guess I graduated at a weird economic time? But for my 21st b-day I was given a used Mustang with only 5k miles on it. I was told that other than college, which my parents paid for, it was the last "big" gift I would ever recieve..... the car was also an early college graduation present...though I'm still not done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Does this make me a spoiled "rich" brat? I would think it hardly does. There is a segment in society that lacks humility and as a result they are egocentric and highly self-centered. What I find funny is that there is a dichotomy in the system where the same aspects can be often found in the "name callers." Where it seems like they are so different yet eerily similar.

i agree to you, But to go on a caraudio forum and ask which car he should get when its totally his decision kinda shows a shade of his character. not to add that the choices of his cars are pretty impressive. Weve never met the guy so we dont know how he really. I believe rich kids should practice, in their behavior, some modesty or else they will be stuck on being ignorant to what others go through. my 2 cents?
