cars are overrated anyway. nobody is going to look back at high school and remember you riding the bus. i ride the bus everywhere, mass transit ftw dude.

how do you get through highschool with out a car? and how do you blow all your money on ski gear so you can't afford one?
get your friends to drive you until you can afford one.

I'm a senior in high school too. I have a car but it never gets used often because I'm doing online classes at home this year. If I was going to regular school I'd either get a ride from someone or ride the bus. Saves a lot of gas and it's free. Bring and iPod and just chill

is that not what a college fund is for? I don't see what's so sad about parents and family setting up a college fund for you.. obviously you're not going to pay for skis, gas and liqs with that but that's why you get a job. I bought a truck before I'm out of HS so I don't have to worry about paying for that while I'm in college. and I have assez des skis. So I dunno it seems like it would work for me..

Whats wrong with that? You make it sound so bad. I wouldn't say my parents are "rich" my dad is just a smart with his investments and finances and built up mad equity and created a college fund. Go cry somewhere else and stop hating on people being supported in college by their parents. For the record, my parents pay tuition, rent, and food. I do everything else.

seriously? fuck off. quit trying to make kids sound like some spoiled kids because their parents care about them enough to set up college funds and manage money correctly for them. my parents aren't rich by any standard but my dad set a college fund for me early and knows how to spend money wisely. i got a car before college just recently and it will be payed off before i start college...quit being an asshole for the hell of it.

That's the short and sweet of what I was trying to say. And frankly that's how it should be. How the heck is anyone supposed to pay for college if it's basically impossible to get a job that pays more than $20 an hour sans college..?

I don't have a car. but my dad said he would probably give me his 96 5 speed accord EX. I love that thing.
other than that, I have 2,000 to spend, and with that im gonna get a shit car.
so I hope the accord works out.

Word. on NS it seems unless you're paying for EVERYTHING you're a rich spoiled snob... My parents are supporting me now because that's what parents and family do. no, they're not buying me everything and anything I want but I work for those sort of things. If they're still supporting me in 10 years.. then yell at me all you'd like.

im a senior with an 08 jeep....i kinda need a car though because my school is 30 min away from my house and i dont have a bus...but whenever i have a free period i usually just walk or longboard around to get food or whatever....i dont really see a huge need to have a car if you live relatively close to your school/job....i would much rather live 10 min from my school and just longboard there everyday and not have a car, especially with the price of gas around here

I'm a junior with no car. I wouldn't mind the bus and such if i didn't live so fucking far away from everything and if taking a bus into town didn't take like two days of planning

stop whining you little bitch, most people have gone through it. i was in the same position as you except the thing is my dad has 3 cars and wouldnt let me drive any of them, taking the bus is fine, you may not look as 'cool' as all the other kids but you'd save a fuckload of money on gas.
