I've EARNT and paid for all my cars. Would never expect mum to pay for my car, she has lent me money for parts that I desperatly needed, but thats as far as it goes and I still feel bad asking her for money.

What I cant stand is little rich boys knocking my car when their parents bought them a brand new car, but I do laugh when they write it off in a couple of weeks. They dont EARN it, so they have no respect for it.
I got in a heated argument with my ex's family as they were talking about their family friends who I also know. When they said the kid got a brand new sports BMW for his 18th, I expressed my opinion but tryed to shut me down saying he saved his own money for the car. Yeah right, he didnt saved 80 grand for the car, his parents gave him the money which he chose to spend on poofter car. But because his parents gave him the money then he spent it, they dont see it as his parents bought him a car WTF. sorry rant over.

so save the cash and buy something thats roadworthy and looks reasonably good. they cant call it a piece of crap then.

Dad gave me my first car, i didnt expect hime too. But i dont think they would give him much for a trade in when he bought a new car so he just kept it in the yard till i got my licence.
I disagree with the the "got given it so dont appreciate it comment", i appreciated my first car very much and took car of it very well, even though it had rust holes through the roof, i always taped over then twice a week when it came off and seviced it regulary. On my apprentice wages it was a blessing just to have a car as it was expensive enough just keeping oil, fuel and parts up to it. Oh yeah it was a brown 1983 mazda panel van, with rear seat and windows conversion.

First car is the car I have now. I paid for it. $10k from a yard for a stocky. Not much time has passed and I could now get it $10k privately pre-fitted with all of the mods I'm wanting.

First upgrade was radial retreads.
