Oh wait they weren't thinking...

Kid on the train was talking about his car, a 2003 Cobra SVT that he got before he started college. He's a freshman and said he was 18. He is paying $500 a month in insurance, well his parents are.

Why the f*ck would you give your 18 year old kid a $40k car that they have to pay gobs of money on for gas and insurance.

 

cause they are rich? :dunno:

 

uhh maybe because they have money and can spare...i personally think if i had the moeny and my son was a good kid with excellent grades i would give him a car like that, if he deserves it though, but of course with the condition of no tickets and speeding otherwise i take back the car...thats what my parents did to me untill i was 18, lucky it has kept me away from tickets for 3 yrs so far.

 

:werd: If your parents offered you a nice car you would take it.

 

My dad offered to buy me a car and I declined because I would rather earn my own car. When you pay for your own things you tend not to destroy them as quick.

 

Theres a difference between a 3k car that cost 100/month to insure than a 40k car that cost 500/month...

 

yes your right but still...if he is responsible then thats coool, i mean i would know if my kid deserves it or not. My friend drives a 2000 ML 320. His parents bought it but he drives it, he pays the monthly payments of 700, and also services the car. He's responsible and straight A student. I think he deserves it, nothing wrong with that.

 

Everytime my parents said they were gonna buy me a car it ends up they buy a car for themselves and hand me down their old one. Happend 3 times since I got my license. Im not falling for it again. h:

 

My folks never offered to buy me a car. Shit.

 

even if i was bill gates.. i would never by my kids a car...
