How did you guys get your cars?
 
Financing?
Parents bought them?
Dealing drugs?
I've seen some kids at previous meets with whips way too expensive for themselve's too have bought, unless they financed. In which place, they must have had amazing credit.
Honestly though, how many people here are "sponsored by mom and dad?"

I'll start- I work at wendys. That's why I drive a bone stock 95 jetta. I'm a student too. I bought it straight up with cash from an auction, after I got outa basic training.

I work my ass off every weekend and break, and I take great pride in that.

assault187 01-21-2008 09:52 PM

I wonder about this ALL the time.....

I work @ H&R Auto radio... I turned 18, got the job, busted my ass and saved up...Bought the car from a freind of mine for $$CASH$$

And I pay with all my mods with the money I make doing "12 Volt side jobs" and some side work doing HVAC w/ my brother

CHAOS 01-21-2008 09:52 PM

lol

is someone really going to admit to using drug money for buying their car?


mine is financed.

xEJ20x 01-21-2008 09:54 PM

Financed.
I busted my ass for a year and a half to get a good down payment.

turbo4g63 01-21-2008 09:54 PM

i got my car when i was 18 and still in high school for 9k and it had 42,000 miles. i financed mine...obviously being that age i needed a cosigner b/c i had no credit, but i worked my ass off to pay for the car and the nice 2400/yr insurance payment...not to mention the maintainance/gas/etc. that comes with owning a car. i am proud to say i never had to ask anyone for money to pay for my car.


try the search button also...this topic has been covered numerous times

I have sex for money and all I could buy was a Hyundai

Kerplunk105 01-21-2008 09:56 PM

Drug money.

mccula 01-21-2008 09:58 PM

so far I can believe all the stories here... I want answers from some of the younger people (IE 18-25) who have STIs, R32s, new WRXs or Lancers, Rx8s, etc etc...
also good to see I'm not the only one wondering.

ozthunder 01-21-2008 09:59 PM

Dude, I have a GTO. I got it b/c I found it at a steal..I traded in a 350Z since I just could not afford it. 399$ a month for a POS? Forget that!

i paid 10k cash for my z

financing my fit



this is just going to bring out the crybabies..."i cant believe that your parents bought you a car!!!"

assault187 01-21-2008 10:05 PM

Hey, More power to them.

But the people who break their back for what they have brings a whole new respect for others and their hard work, and a little less respect for those who have had things handed to them.

gas mileage on those cars are really good for a v8

yeah, it probably will. I don't know, I'm glad on one hand that my parents never did buy me any sweet cars. They gave me a volvo 240 dl with an auto trans lol. That's why I bought the jetta.
It does kinda suck living in my area though because holland/newtown/richboro is so full of kids driving m3s, sti's, evos, etc.. it sucks having a slower car than someone who didn't pay a dime for their whip. But w/e. I've been working full time since I was 17, while juggaling school, now I'm 19 and eventually I'll see the fruits of my labor...

i'm in the same boat...i've wanted a 03/04 cobra forever, but i just don't think i could make payments/gas/insurance w/ all the bills i already have. i probably could if i still lived w/ my parents.

ozthunder 01-21-2008 10:11 PM

No they aren't! Well, sort of. they are for 05/06 with active fuel management, but unless you like playing in neutral, I get 16-17 tops lol

you cant fault kids for having parents that are well off and buy their children a car. im sure every kid would have the car they want if their parents can afford it. i for one dont care as long as theyre not douchebuckets about it.

DropTopChevy 01-21-2008 10:17 PM

Paperboy 6 years and other jobs during that time and since then. I have only been out of work for a little less than a month twice.
