i'd take it, but pissed they wasnt gonna make me work for it :chuckles:

i think i'd forgive them pretty easy too

 

heck yeah id take it

 

i think there is nothing wrong with that....as long as u appreciate it and dont take it for granted it is all good. respect is what it is all about.

 

everything is faster than a civic!! and there are alot of 16 year olds that handle fast cars its just being responsible and knowing when to and not to do it

 

correction: there are alot of 16 year olds who think that they can handle fast cars.

 

I was given the following cars to drive:
98 Tahoe Sport, 95 Jag XJS, 96 Xj6, 99XJ8, 98 RX300, 99 Land Cruiser.

I could pick whichever I wanted, whenever I wanted, all through high school and college. Pretty much the day I graduated, I was totally "on my own" and went out and bought a 95 4Runner (this was last August). Started making my own money, traded in the 4Runner for my car now and couldn't be happier.

I think wether or not a child is spoiler or not depends on the situation, not all are the same. I LITERALLY walked away from a multi-million dollar inheritence b/c my stepfather was an asshole after my mother died and I later found out he was cheating on her.

So basically....I it's a case by case basis. Nobody would not take a free car (unless it's my situation where you wouldnt accept anything from someone).

 

:werd:

 

I agree with parents buying cars for their kids. As long as those kids are responsible and deserve it. My parents bought my Civic and I have taken great care of it and every time there was something wrong with it I had it fixed without their help with money or anything. I may not have bought the car but I am proud of it because I have taken care of it and I pay the insurance on it.

For those of you who have bought your own car More Power To Ya! Thats a HUGE responsibility and a big step into the real world from Teenage years! Its a great feeling to know and tell people that YOU BOUGHT AND OWN that car! I am on my way soon to buying my own car and getting rid of the car that my parents bought me. I love that car yes but I need something else now on my own.

 

I inherited money long time ago. that's what i used to buy my car...parents didn't pay with their money, but it was my money even though i didn't actually make the money. but yeah case by case, everyone almost would accept a free car

 

My chevy went to shit, my dad found out he's moving to texas, and I decided to go to school up here. They got it for me because I needed reliable transportation. Plus I think they were extreamly happy because I got into a private Art college.
