You know what my folks said to me when I asked them to help me out with cash for a car?

NO.

So I saved any cash I had and bought my own car. I appreciated it more that way cause I worked for it and didn't get it handed to me.

Everyone I know that has had parents buy their cars for them have crashed them. And also maintain it for them. And expect them to pay insurance and rego for them too. They don't appreciate the car and just thrash the crap outta it.

Aint that the truth.

[Fev]

i thrash my car.. but in a nice way, not trying to do donuts, just going through the mountains... spiritedly.. giving it a nice workout

Well my perants bought me my car, 10g or so, i pay insurance rego and everything else, mechanics regurly checking up on it always washing it., So it is my car and i look after it as it was 100K car as iv loved the EL for years and am only 1

Using "daddys" money is when your perants buy you a car when you are 25yrs old, not when you are 17-18 and most likely struggling, yes some poeple work from 15, i was in a different position. So i must be a daddys boy, i might get a sticker done for my back window.

may be they should have paid for better schooling?

[Fev]

maybe they did, which is why he couldnt buy one himself as he was too busy studying


and whats with everyone in whinging all the time about spelling mistakes?!. so
fu[kin what, only pompous a$$holes can be bothered to spell check everything they say, get a grip and grow the fu[k up

[Debzilla_108]

the fact that he spelt it incorrect in 2 diffrent post more then once in each means to me he doesnt actaully no how to spell...

i just think its crazy that he thinks that its ok to use his parents money to buy him self a car...and thats what they are there for... i think not...parents are there to take care of you while you are small not to buy you a car for you to get around..

i didnt even bother asking my parents for money as i know what they would have said.
i bort my own first car was a gemini and then a commo wagon and then i got a loan by my self with out there help to get my Fairlane and i feel really good to know that i have achived so much by my self.

[matty88]

I have a KF2 TX3 that I just bought.... absolute rocket for a NA car 97kw on tap. Not cop bait at all either

[Fev]

well if your going to be like that. its spelt Bought. not bort.

theres nothing wrong with your parents buying you car, whether its a beemer or a corolla, some kids just dont have the time to save the money for this as they are studying, after school sports, Uni etc and if you were their parents would you wanna be their personal taxi service for another couple of years? stuff that.

im on my P's and i currently drive an 86 model landcruiser but im looking to get a AUIII XR6 any time soon

[Fev]

the good old landcruiser, i learnt in a 100 series landcruiser, put my L's off cause i didnt want to drive the damn thing lol

[JACK250]

I am just about 15, and own my XP ute 100% myself, and I wasn't just handed the money, I worked for it from since I was 12 and have also made money selling things on ebay. So when I am on my P's and it is restored people will probably say 'well how could an 18 year old have payed for that, his parents must have bought it for him' I will be able to say I have payed for it and worked on it myself. So what if your parents give you a hand buying your first car? Unless it's a brand new BMW or something what's the big deal?

Hahaha ya big girl! :P I'm going to learn manual transmission (my Falcons an auto - as most are) in a 60 series landbruiser with a 250,000km old clutch, I kid you not. About an inch from the pedal being fully out it starts to pick up haha it sure will be a challenge. I'll hate driving it though because it's slow and I can't hack slow it annoys me haha. I think it's that, my aunty's Camry and the Corolla the instructor has.

Manual EL XR6 one day... :P

[Bobman]

I've had:

* 84 TX5 Ghia Manual
* 88 EA Ghia Manual
* 01 AU2 Ex Cab
* 04 BA XR6

Had the BA for 2 and a half years, but I bought it damaged and fixed it up myself (with the exception of the spray, which I helped with at work).

I worked 3 jobs so I could afford all the cars that I've had and it's paid off. The point is that when parents just buy a car for their kids, they usually do not look after it and do not appreciate it either.

You see all the spoilt kids' cars in Chapel street on the weekends.

[BaYa]

I've had 3, i was giving my first which was a 87 sigma wagon but just before i got my p's i bought and EB falcon on gas, cause i was cheap and now i have a 96 EL xr6 which i got under a loan, but i love it to bits always doing something to it thinking of boosting it one day or just getting an xr6t see what the future brings
