Normally I would have looked at this thread, and kept my damn mouth shut, but I didn't because you attacked this kid because his parents bought him his car.

Now try turning 18, moving out within a week, working your job, and making rent and bills. then tell me how much "extra" cash you have.
yeah, you're right. I can't say shit since I haven't lived on my own, and yes I have a nice job with no bills, but if I were to live on my own, I probably wouldn't have much of a nice life (probably no car). Either way if I were kicked to the curb right now, there would be no way in hell I would ever go back, or go running to a relative's house for help. Either way, I'm slowly starting to pay for my own shit whilst I'm at college, but my parents still control my finances since I'm a minor.

You cant tell me you have the same respect for your "FREE" car that we have for our "hard work, making payments, working our ass off for" car.
Most people tease me for babying mine. I can't even begin to describe how much I care for mine, or how I don't abuse it on the street. I auto-x mine, but I've done 2500/6month oil changes since day one, I plan to do 5000 mile/1 year ATF changes, and by Saturday, I'll have the biggest B&M transmission cooler that I can fit installed (by me) on the Accord. Again, I can't prove to you how much I care for this investment (a negative return investment
) no matter what I say.
As for work, when I'm not in school, I'm at work. Ever since I was 15, I worked every day that I was not in school. I worked 6 days a week during every holiday possible, and started working during the week, during school, when I started driving. There have been times when I've worked 20 straight hours to get the job done, because I'm dedicated to my job, and earning as much money as possible. (Yeah I know, :blah: )
However, to you, none of that matters, because you've worked for yours whilst I haven't, so you win, I lose! Now back off!
