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.

Definitely buy a beater... 'cause you'll trash the hell out of your first car, without even realizing it. I've had several vehicles, and I drive harder on each of my newer ones, but you can drive hard without tearing up a car, and it takes breaking a few things before you realize that...

For perspective... my first car was a 1986 Toyota Corolla... paid $500 cash for it, and I still have it (awaiting a tranny rebuild at home) and my sister is using that until she can BUY HER OWN CAR to drive. Just realize that whatever you get, you'll probably break or wreck, as most 16-18 year olds do... I never wrecked mine, but damn... I got a lot of DIY lessons from breaking stuff that never would have broken if I drove the car properly...
