I also had a 92 Buick Regal, I had to let it go because things kept breaking (the AC, brake lights, heater, and a few other things) and I got tired of it.

Why would somebody bash you, most everybodys first car aint their first choice of cars. Most guys have two cars in mind, the dream car then the one that fits the wallet. I expect that rule has applied since the first car rolled off the line.

Come to think of it, its one of the few things that hasnt changed generation to generation. the models change but a guys first car remains the same.[/quote:a4115]

because i would assume someone would come and say something like "i have to work in order to get a car that costs that could not even compare to yours, and you get to have one for free." Look at one of the vacation threads and see what i'm talking about.[/quote:a4115]
I really have no problem with hand downs, its when some punk gets their rich parents to buy them a 318i Beamer brand new or a brand new civic, RSX etc...[/quote:a4115]

Why? How do you know they didn't work hard in other areas to earn the right to be given a car? Not everyone is a walking stereotype.

The way I see it, unless you know the person very well you have no place to judge anyone like that.

Parents bought me a "slate gray" Dodge Caravan Sport for $12,000 (including tax). It has the best stock speakers you can get and it only had 12,000 miles or something when I got it.

Do you believe in the whole "Get Good Grades Ge What You Want" thing?[/quote:6237e]


there is a limit to that, the kid has to know what a dollar is and not be some spoiled little brat that gets a new car for graduating a public school

Hahah, my parents used to own one of those. We donated the p.o.s. to the Red Cross.

Im not getting my liscense for another year, and probably wont be getting a car for another 3, but my dad has basically told me what car he wants me to buy..this one:

Yeah, a Beetle. A good, responsive yet slow and stable car. I was looking at this '77 Porsche Boxster a couple miles away at a used car lot, but my dad just puked on me, saying he knows I'd be dead the next day if I got it. He doesnt really trust me that well.

What I REALLY want though... is one of those hippie-mobiles. I mean, jeeze, I used to ride in my neighbors and her kids little bus back in California - insanely comfortable. The seats were couch like, we could lay on the giant floor, sleep up in the bunk... just an awesome, awesome car.

Unfortunately... its pretty damn hard to find any around. They're collectibles now, and nobody is willing to give 'em up.[/quote:abf5f]

me and my bro used to call those the "turtle van" because it looks like that van from the original ninja turtles
