the point is I bought this car myself.  I pay for it myself too.  $2900.  you shouldve seen my first car.  I bout a 1987 bmw 535i for $200.  it barely ever ran.  it had a hole in the gas tank right next to where the muffler broke off.  so it was basically a moving bomb.  I replaced the fuel injectors, the fuel injector monitor, the starter, the fuel filter, the battery, the radiator, all the fuses, the spark plugs, the fan belt, and the front headlights.  I put over 3500 into that car and after I was done it still needed a new gas tank, new brakes because the rotors were pitted, and a new exhaust pipe.  I ended up selling it for $800 just to get it outta my driveway.

yeah dude.  my parents are rick as fuck.  but im poor.  my dad was a doctor and my mom was a vetrenarian.  I grew up in a gated community.  I was always picked on by all the spoiled kids cuz I didnt have all the cool shit they had.  now I live out in the country.  I buy all my shit myself.  my parents still have dial-up and no cable, no satellite.  again, just for effect, damn rich kids.

my mommy and daddy got me a brand spankin 1986 4 runner with 220000 miles on it from my uncle. its such a fun fuckin car, you can unbolt the back top of it in like 15 minutes and youve got yourself a convertable truck. it always runs well besides the fact that it leaks quite a bit of oil, although i just got a new valve cover so its doin better. my only problem with it is that it shakes a little going over 70. im not a poor kid, but why on earth would you buy a 16 year old a nice car?

My parents believe in having a moderately shitty car through high school and college so we don't crash a good car and then for a graduation present - new car. My sister had a Saturn for years, graduated and got a new Jetta. I'll be driving my old Volvo wagon until I graduate and then BAM, new Volvo XC wagon. I did have a 2001 Wrangler for a while, but it was a shitty car and kept breaking so we sold it.

'90 Volvo Wagon with 227K. I got it with 220k on it. It actually runs really well. RWD, and no ABS so it's fun to fuck around in. Transmission is the original one and it's gonna die sometime in the near future I'd guess. My parents gave it to me.

manual transmission is a good thing - if thats what you like. the transmission puts out mroe HP and manuals are fastrer because if you shift right before you redline you get maximum acceleration and performance.

Haha I'm the exact opposite my house is a shit-hole but my dad bys good cars because he LOVES cars. We had a 05 GTO and a Avalanche but we traded those in and got a deal on an 06 Silverado which is mine now. My dad salvaged from 20" chrome rims off of a wrecked car and the grill was $50 so it looks expensive but its really a cheap P.O.S, 1 CD in the CD player, no power locks, no power windows (which sucks when the other window is down and youre driving when it starts raining) But like I said with some pocket change its really a nice ass truck but I have a job that supports the truck payment and insurance.

yeah, I work my ass off at a 5 star resturant making 4.75 an hour + tips....so I make like...6 bucks an hour. I saved for my corolla for like...2 years.  the beamer was a piece of shit.  but I still bogged it before I sold it.  haha.  I need either a new clutch or a new fly-wheel for my corolla cuz a who friend borrowed it said he knew how to handle a manual.  turns out he just knew the basics and ground down my 2nd and 3rd gear.

5 star resturaunt making 1.25 in tips? Harsh. And shit a car is a car when you're young you shouldnt get a fast car because you need to save your money for things like a house or possibly children.
