the worst part is it was sold for only 700 dollars and i have 700 dollars in my bank acount. so i could have bought the car from them.  fuck.

Wait, why were they selling it? You in trouble? And was it THEIR car that they let you use, or did you actually buy this car before?
I need details people, details

my dad was like we'll let you have it, it was my car, and i guess he just got bored and decided to sell it.

Well it was your parents car, not yours, maybe they need some skrilla to support you. Parents don't just have a money plan in their bathroom mang. Gotta thing about the hundreds of thousands of dollars your parents have spend on your in your entire life and realize that they work their ass off for it. Buy your own car if you don't want them to sell it, maybe they are tryin to tell you to get your own shit, i dunno.

I know a kid who bought a car with his own money that he worked for, who's mom one day took it to the dealer and sold it for half what it was worth to buy cigarettes and catfood.

That sucks about the catfood and cigs situation.

Actually it's true. I think my dad showed me a study that someone did, and it says that with food, toys, other necessities, it costs parents about $250,000 until the kid turns 18.

it usually costs 200-300k to raise an average child in the us. average meaning average household income, living in an average area. and its only getting more expensive.

See, if when they'd offered it to you in the first place, you'd said "I'll actually pay you 20 dollars for it", it would have been your car and they would not have been allowed to sell it. Or rather, if they did, you wouldn't be able to get it back, but they would've had to pay you the value at least.

Ya but if your parents sold the car you use for a measly $700 without asking you if you wanted it wouldn't you be upset?  Yes it's their car technically, but they could have at least told him he could buy it if he wanted.

Ya, maybe if you are spoiled little shit.  There's no way my parents spent that much on me, and I'm not dissapointed or anything, I just doubt they have.
If you include college, then ya, maybe.

Yeah, think about 18 years of life. So many different cloths, so much food, toys, etc, etc. Your parent spend 90% of the money they make at work on you. Just suck it up, they're prob buying you a new one anyway when you graduate.
