Its easier than telling them where I work that will then just evolve into way more conversation than I care to carry.
There is a small chance, and I mean very small, that this guy bought the car with his own money. Even if dad bought it for him im not going to hate on him for it. If my dad offered me a M3 when I was 19 I sure as hell would have taken it, and probably wrecked it too lol. If anything its dads fault for giving his son a "performance" vehicle so young. Especially such an expensive one. If he tried to take responsibility for buying it himself when he didnt, then thats a different story.

When I was 17, I was very jealous of my friends in highschool. They got new/cool cars (Eclipses and mustang GT's are cool when you're driving a decade-old police-car that was built in the drive-way). I thought it was "not fair".
But then I realised...their parents did the time, did the un-fun stuff, and could provide, and what idiot 17 year old says "No, dad, you keep the keys to the new mustang GT. My friends don't have cars like that, I shouldn't, either..."
Yeah...HAH!
So I made up my mind to stand on my own two feet one day and have "all the stuff that I cannot have, now."
So far, I am far from some super rich guy, but I feel content with my financial situation, and can honestly say that as of now, I feel that I am being paid what my work is worth, and am happy. That, to me, is where it's at---whether you make $10 an hour, or $250 an hour. Gotta be happy, because there is always someone richer, always someone poorer.
