My Dad makes a fair bit of money but I never had designer clothes or any of that nonsense as a kid. Drove an 8 year old Legacy 4 banger in HS. I try not to coast off my parent's accomplishments sooooo rich kids driving expensive cars still pisses me off

In high school, I could afford a new pedal bike and that was about it. Working as an engineering student is a different story though

And I don't know why people hate when parents buy they're kids good cars if your parents would have bought you a nice car in hs I bet you would take it right away. I got my new 8 after hs I wrked all of hs for my car people would always hate cuz I had money and cuz I had a new car. It's just people who don't like wrkn and are on they're *** all day that expect to get a nice car and get mad when other hard working people do I mean you wrk hard to buy the things you want why should you have to buy cheap things just so other people won't feel bad?

well i wanted a used truck, but my dad wanted a sports like car. he started looking at 350z eclipse, and what not. but when we saw the rx8. it was like love at first sight... my first car was supposed to be the 350z, the dealer gave me the key when i went back home to get the money, but my mom didnt like it so we said no. but when she saw the 8, same thing love at first sight. we found a good deal, low payments, insurance is not high so we bought it.. so i did not intend to have the 8 as my car, i just wanted something better then a 1993 Toyota tercel lmao

Yeah well my dad always made me work and pay for my cars but I don't necessarily think it makes you a better worker. For me it just made it harder to focus on school and sports and my grades suffered.

Now as for my son, as long as he gets great grades I will buy him the best car I can within reason. Grades and behavior are number one in my book.

But the fact (as far as im aware) that you learn to drive at 16 and have rx8's whilst your at school?! that would never be possible over here without extremely rich parents :P so to hear about porsches and rx8's being mentioned within a school context :O is a very shocking prospect to us (slightly ignorant :P) brits lol

just my observation :P

Nick
Hahah Bought my 8 rolled over the day after i turned 17 now a year later finnaly starting too look nice hah.

And btw do anything possible to rice your car out by than and you will win for sure. The ricier the car at shows and stuff always wins because the non car people think its "custom" sad but true.



When my 8 was convertible. hah
