My Parents bought me a new Camry!


Recommended Posts

nice one man keep up the grades to keep the car.

i am 15 and going on to 16 and be driving a scooter, and my parents are going to buy it for me and help me insure it. andi probley put the fuel in it for the first half of the time i have it as i am still at school and have no job. i would pay for some of it but i have bad knees so i can not get a job at this moment in time. but hopefully after i finshed school i can get a job and go to college (payed by my parents). this is probley where i start paying for fuel and some insurace. Then my parents will pay for some of my driving lessons and i pay some, and then i probley get a second hand smart car(www.thesmart.co.uk) because they cheap to run, insure, and it does not use much petrol. plus it going to be good cause it partly made by mercades benz they even made the engine. my parents will go half and i go half.

a basic smart car is about ?7k brand new with a colour i like which adds to the cost and also because it a custom one it also costs.

but i will not take this for granted as i will pay my parents back.

so good luck keeping ur car man let no one diss u because u got given it.

everyone needs a kickstart in life and your parents have just started to help you, people in the uk will probley see what i am saying as stuff can cost alot over here.

spoiled rich kids, that is whats wrong with america these days parents buy their kids cars and send them to nice colleges and they learn not to know how to work for the ol' mighty dollar. get a job rich kid learn to buy ur own stuff instead of leeching off mommy and daddy

Give me a break.

So what if his parents had the money to buy him something nice? Don't be jealous.

I never had anything handed to me, I worked for the car that I drive, the house that I own, and the food that I eat. But that doesn't mean that I think children who have parents who buy them stuff like this are spoiled. They are just more fortunate than some (at least me). Why hate? Be happy for the person instead of ripping him down.

I'll never understand that.

What ever happened to just being happy for someone, instead of calling them spoiled, making fun of the choice of car, or saying they'll never learn the value of a dollar unless they get a job.

Good for him, and congrats on the car.

To everyone else that hates or is jealous --> Shut up, be happy! :D

I figured i'd post this since everyone else is posting there cars and stuff. I am 15 turning 16 in less then a month. They bought me a 04 Camry. Its black. Got it about 2 weeks ago. I got 2 screens installed in the back. Geting some sports rims soon. (Order them allready). leather and everything. The only things I am missing on the car is the V6, No Fog Lights, and no Sunroof. Here I attached a picture of me and my car from the front. Ill take some pictures of the inside with the screens and stuff later on.

Ohh and I almost forgot to mention the girls LOVE the screens..Hehe they think its like "Cool" lol..

(Here is me with my car over @ my friends house!)

dude! You shoul'dve got the one with the smoked headlights.. :o

Actually buddy if you come to think of it the car was like 26k and if we put or If I wanted I could have put in or told dad and we could have gotten the IS 300 fror me but the reason I got this was because I dont want somethingn tempting that will make me wanna race! And by the way you criticizing like you started driiving a beamer. What did you drive when you were 16?

Yvo Hrrm I thnk thats a bit late man. LOL I almost put about 1800 miles on it :) (Drive ALOT!) and hrrm i have hit speeds of 130! Yah I Know everyone told me after I did that!@

I started driving a 96 M3 when i was 16. So i have room to criticize right? damn...get a real car like a BMW, or a Truck you Camry puss.

I don't see why its such a big deal.

If you got something handed to you like that i'm sure you would take it.

I never got a car as a gift, infact I have to make a $258 payment every month for my 2002 Alero and my checks are only like 300 bucks every two weeks, but if somebody would have given my car to me as a gift I would defiantely take it. Would I be leecher? Maybe by your standards, but not mine.

I've had to buy both of my cars, the first one was a 16K BMW M3,b ut I've been making 400 a week since I was 13, so it wasnt that hard just took a while, then traded it in for a Dodge Dakota SLT 4x4, which is a 97, and I've had it for a while. I raised it up 4 inches, and put 33's on it, and just moddified the **** out of it.

i pay for it, i pay for insurance gas and everything. being spoiled is a pain, i was spoiled when younger, but kids made fun of me for it, i have hated spoiled kids ever since, cause i use to be one. If need be I could have got my dad to buy me things, but I like knowing that "i bought this, ha it's really mine, and i wasnt babied."

ur kiddin me right?

LOL... of course I'm kidding. My parents would never buy me a car for that much.... I'd rather they buy me a house... :p

The Porsche has to come outta my own pocket.

I actually took these pictures when I went to a Porsche dealership. Unfortunetly the only thing I could afford at the time was a Porsche coffee mug. :p

It just shows you how pointless these threads are. I could have been an a$$ and started a new thread. Not that I'm jealous, hating or anything like that, congrats on the camry, it's a fine car but do I really care, NO! cause it doesn't affect me in any way and it doesn't help anyone else.

Case in point. It's all well and good to be fortunate, but it is not ok to rub that fact in the faces of those who are not... No one likes a show off, and much less a spoiled little rich kid who is too young to appreciate the gifts he is given.

Put it this way. When everything is simply handed to you, you just take it for granted. You will come to "expect" expensive gifts from your family. I do not envy you. I pity you because I know that were it not for your parents wealth, you would be without that nice shiny car and will be forced to earn it like the rest of us.

Earn your keep. That is the real reward.

Why hate? Be happy for the person instead of ripping him down.

I'll never understand that.

I think it happens bcos its easier to rip into someone than be happy for them.

(Pretty big generalisation, but it applies a lot of the time)

    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
    • I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
