Congrat kid,

Enjoy it while it last... ahhhh Parental love...

first time you bring home some girl they dont approve of the gifts go out the windows.

Also Imports ROCK compared to domestics now.

Couldnt give me a domestic these days with the poor quality and engineering in them.

Now these imports that get great gas mileage, awesome hp from the engineering, plus 10 -15 year life span? Come on..

Hell you can buy a new accord and not have a TUNE up till 105,000 miles.. THATS engineering folks.

well its in Nov but its an Accord Meeting, so only Hondas really, i mean you can show up and the only Yota there, you might feel outta place. lol, they said that they had a Lancer show up and when he saw all 72 honda, and he stayed like 5 mins and people were making fun of his car. lol it was funny, but it was all in good fun, its not a place to go and burn out your car or ne thing like that, we park at a local mall and just chill and walk around and look at each others cars, then we drive around in a big line, its pretty cool.

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!)

Dawg you posted the pic on tech-critic a while ago, you never said the car was new :rollleyes:

As I am getting near that age when I will soon become a parent myself, I really pause to think about things like this.

I actually feel it does a disservice in life to provide children with somethign like that. That's great if your income allows you to help provide things for them, but I think what they gain in physical posessions, they loose in life lessons. I think its important to learn what it means to EARN things and work for them.

I have a freind whose family is quite rich, and I really respect what his father did. Even though he could afford to buy his kid any car he wanted, he made a deal with him. He said if you work and earn money towards a car, I will match it dollar for dollar. At least that taught him the value of what he had. He was also VERy careful w/ the car and never wrecked it.

Me, I had a little Geo Metro, and I was GRATEFUL as hell for it! I worked my bootey to contribute towards its purchase, and most importantly I appreciated what my mother had given to me.

I jsut hope that you can honestly appreciate what you have that 99% of the world does not. Most people can't even afford a new car for themselves, much less to give a kid with NO experiance. Be grateful, and hopefully you will learn the caule of a dollar and of working for things later in life.

I fully agree with this.

It is great for you that your parents buy you a new car for your 16th (!!!!) birthday. Man you are not even grown up yet..... and yet you are driving your own car.

Be very very thankfull for that!!!

I bought my first car (and still my current car) from my own money.... cost me quite a bit, but I worked hard enough for it.

It's exactly like Wolvereen said, you start to appreciate things like these when you worked hard for it. Personally I will never buy my kid (which I don't have yet) a car even if I earn milions a year. Buying your own first car from your own money is something special..... spoiling a kid with cars and stuff is just wrong in my opinion.

Well Guys again I am not spoiled. My dad he basically made a deal with me. He said keep you grades up and dont get into bad habits and etc. then its fine otherwise I will basically have to start working and he is like then you can pay HIM since he allready paid for him for the car and then I will know how hard it is to work in the real world. So basically if it depeneds on my grades

Yes I do admit that I am a kid compared to 30 year olds but there is a first time for everything. I know I may sound a bit out but thats the thing. My parents trust me with the car. Yes, I am 16 so sometimes I do drive crazy but I dont do it in traffic thats when the roads are like empty at night time.

Quick Reply Yah when I posted it on T-C thats when it was BRAND NEW. Now its a lil old. I mean like 1 month or so. But cant you tell by the plates? takes about 24 days for them to come in soo ;)

i think where the parents get the car and u pay them back is good as most new drivers can not afford to get a new car so they take loans out from they parents and pay them back in bits. eg car costs ?200 and u can not afford it so u get ur parents to help pay and u pay them back at like ?100 month. but this is all a bit tricky as u can get good fiance on cars.

anyway my parents brought a 2002 smart car passon 599cc with some optional stuff for 7 grand they did this cause my mum needed to insure a car so she does not lose are no claims(i am sure). Also because i have a bad knee condition (form of Osgood Schlatters) and since i have a right to get a disablity allowence, i can get that and if i get it, i could probley start driving at 16 instead of 17, and it all be payed for me.

Osgood Schlatters f***king sucks it make be like isolated from my friends as i can not walk very well, i've had it since aged 10 and i am now 15. driving early will help me alot to get back and forth to college when i start and the college has lifts

I guess points differ.

To me, thats bribary. I kept my grades up and didn't get into anything bad because thats what I was supposed to do. I was raised to be responsible. I also was raised with a set of morals that were contradictary to that kind of behavior.

I personally think that too many parents try to be friends with their kids and bribe them into the right behavior.

Take away the pocket book, and bring back the spanking!

Thats my philosophy!

My 2 cents....

Another spoiled 16 year old with a car. Shame........

My dad sold cars for 32 years. Every kid in my town thought I was going to get a new car when I turned

16 (back when a new SPORT car would only run you 4,000 bucks). I told them, you don't know my dad!

I had to EARN a car if I wanted it. A lot of my friends had parents buy them cars when they turned 16.

Most of them had them wrapped around a tree, or just completely wrecked them before they were 18.

If someone GIVES you something, most likely you won't appreciate it. But, if you BUY something with

the money you EARNED, then you have a greater appreciation for it.
