OK, stop trying to sound ghetto and type an intelligent post... all of the shit you keep typing is like one letter short of the real word...

dat = that
da = the
den = then

etc. etc... take the time to spell correctly it's only one more key stroke and you'll appear much more intelligent.

I hope you were kidding about the education thing, especially if you plan on starting your own business... I don't care if you're starting a tree trimming business, you need sound business and accounting skills.

Follow previous advice and get a beater for your first car. My first car that I talked about before was wrecked into the back of a pickup and the hood/fenders were peeled back like a tin can... not something you want to do to a $20k car.

And for that person that said to give him a break... what does that teach someone when they have $20K handed to them... where is the value of a dollar learned with that?

Reality is you don't skate through life getting something for nothing... if he was getting a $20K car as a gift for graduating or getting accepted to a good college then that would be entirely different. He's in for a rude awakening if he thinks life is really that simple. Go to college, gain some real world knoledge, get out and get a good job or start your own business... for now buy a beater and save yourself and your parents some money and grief.
