Default Kids n 370s

Nothing ticks me off more than kids of rich parents, 17 years old, getting brand new cars. I'm 26 and after 6 years at a post secondary institution I bought myself a Z as a grad present to MYSELF because I am graduating without any loans!

Maybe its just darwin's modern way of doing his thing, maybe I am just bitter.

I don't care how much money you have. I believe this is a huge mistake by parents. The likelihood a high school student has a major wreck is pretty high. I truely believe parents are putting their child at further risk for serious injury. Get them a nice car but it doesn't have to be a 300+ hp sports car.

For example: I had a friend in high school. His dad owned a Dodge dealership. So at 16 his dad bought him a brand new Viper GTS. Two weeks later my friend wrapped it around a telephone pole barely surviving. His dad learned his lesson real quick. Bought him a hummer H1 wagon a few weeks later. lol

Sorry for those of you that are in your teens but it's the truth.

while i agree...there are cases where just because someone is young, doesnt mean they didnt buy it themselves. apparently people look at me and think this all the time (doesnt help being asian and young looking, i still get carded for nearly everything). the glares i get from people when i get out of the car are hilarious. i just glare back and them and smile

however, i do see your point. i remember my highschool's parking lot, filled with bmw's and merc's, while i drove the bucket toyota

This would be my main point to argue as well... Even though every kid from 17-20 thinks they are a good driver, the truth to it is that the majority are not...

Mean people suck. It also drives me nuts when my wife lets the dogs sleep on my side of the bed when I am travelling.

I don't give 2 sh!ts what other people do with their money, it's theirs to spend how they wish, well at least the part the government doesn't take.

You would if it was your kid in the passenger seat. Hulk Hogan's son street racing his supra.

I know I'm getting a little too invested in this thread. Having personal experience with it definitely changes your tone.

Why don't people worry about their own lives rather than complain about what other people do with their own money?

Because people prefer to critique others instead of themselves.
