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.

that car is for girls. wheres your balls at, in your mouth?

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)

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch by David Uzondu In April 2025, Notion launched Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client that acted as a customizable overlay for your existing accounts. Instead of replacing Gmail entirely, it reimagined how users interacted with their inboxes by offering features like intelligent auto-labeling alongside automated calendar scheduling. Now, a little over a year later, Notion has announced that it is shutting it all down on September 22. Since Notion Mail is a frontend client, most of your Gmail data will remain safe inside your Google account, but the company said that you must export stuff specific to Notion Mail, like snippets, custom auto-label instructions, email drafts, and scheduled drafts, before the deadline. Starting today, June 25, you can export that data directly from the app or the web interface, and this grace period will last all the way until September 21. Once September 22 arrives, Notion will permanently delete all unsaved local assets, including files you attached to snippets. Your existing database syncs and mail blocks will persist, though they will stop receiving new messages after the shutdown. Notion advises that if you or your company operate within a regulated environment, you must transition off earlier than the general shutdown date to maintain compliance. Companies that rely on HIPAA coverage face an even tighter timeline and must transition away from the platform by June 30th. Notion, in its X announcement post, basically said that it doesn't see the point of maintaining a standalone email client, especially when users have shifted their habits toward automation. The platform pointed to its Notion agents, which it claims "more than half of Notion Mail users" already employ to manage emails without ever opening an actual inbox, so it is "going all in" on using these agents to run your inbox. Notion introduced Notion Agents last September at the "Make With Notion" conference, giving users AI-powered digital assistants that can do stuff like run in the background on specific schedules (e.g., summarizing your daily open tasks every morning at 8 AM).
