if you're ever in boston, go check out the SMG student parking lot at my school (boston university). it's like a goddamn luxury dealership parking lot. all mb, bmw, audi, lexus, and porsche with 18 year old kids "driving" them. i've never seen such nice cars driven so poorly. almost brings me to tears :wtc:

Did you ever once question why he was riding on the train instead of driving "his" Mustang? :squint:

ok, so because its 2003 that means he can afford three cars and all the bills that come along with it?

I'm not giving the guy a hard time, I just fail to see how he is able to do that on his own.

If he can, big ups to him.

2003 meaning there are thousands of 20 yr olds out there that roll with big money that they've earned...

Lets really think about this its ok for his parents to buy him a car if in fact he is responsible and ready to take on a car thats fine. I don't have or see a problem with parents buying there kids cars if they have worked for it by doing well in school or other things, but for some punk ass little kid that is getting C's and D's in school and this kid is riding around in a Audi A4 (first car that came to my mind).

Lets also think about how many of us had a brand new car bought for us by our parents? I know I didn't shit i didn't even buy a car until I was out so high school. And also the fact that they bought him a ****ing mustang cobra which is a supercharged V8 WTF does an 18 year old know about a RWD car with that kind of power that shit will get you in trouble real quick. Trust me I know cause my dad has an SVT Lightning and if you are in a corner and you just tap the S/C the rear end is all over the place quick.

These little punk ass kids don't know how to drive nor do they have any respect cause they know if the car brakes or they need a performance part that mommy and daddy will get it for them or fix it for them. Costing them nothing and not at all teaching them how expensive it is to own a car.

Does it bother people that much seeing parents buy their kids these cars, to me I see the people who complain all the time about that stuff as them being jealous of something that doesn't affect them at all.
