Who cares if his parents want to spend money on his car? Its their money and its their kid. Euck it!
I would encourage them to spend the money on a new car as I am a big supporter of the stupid tax. Just funny that they think spending over twenty thousand dollars is a good way to save money

I would be surprised if our prom-dateless creepy Nala actually discussed replacng his SUV with his parents. I can't imagine they'd be that stupid and indulge him.

Nala,

There are two things in this picture. One of them you need and the other you don't need. See if you can figure out which is which.

We all know you (your parents) have money.

I suggest you get a job. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with wealthy parents getting their kids nice things if the kid works.

Get a job, maybe pay for your own gas, and let your parents get you whatever car you want.

That's my opinion.

Are you sure you'd want to buy this particular QXFail? It's got gay alteezas, a gay "got bass" sticker, the luggage room has been reduced by oversized woofers, and he announced it uses too much gas (despite having no clue of its gas mileage).

He should pay for his own car if he gets a job. Besides, what's the big need for a 17 y/o to have a $25K vehicle?

There's really no "need" for anything. Why do people "need" cable TV, or cell phones, or even computers?

If his parents have money, why have them buy him a piece of s***? If he's working anyways, what difference is it gonna make if he has a cheaper car? Other than his self esteem of course which needs all the help it can get.

Ya know what I mean?

Yeah, I see, but at the same time, if his parents get him everything, he'll never gain any independence. He'll keep relying on his parents to pay for everything he wants. He needs to understand that you can't just get everything you want in life without working for it.

Ya dig?

If that's the case and he can't realize that, what's the point in trying to reasoning with him?

Wait..... so if you got a hummer would you stop coming on to Nico, and start going to a Hummer Forum?

I say you get a Hummer, because I will never be on a Hummer Forum.

You are an Idiot.

Good question. But to find out would require a large coordinated effort.

So...you start off the thread saying you have a QX4 that's in perfect condition, then go on saying that gas is too much of a burden (even though you don't pay for it right?), so now you want input on other suv's that you could potentially get?

Go get a job?

Also:

Avalanche- Ugly looking and the biggest thing you could fit in the bed of that truck/ suv thing is a bicycle...so it's pretty much useless.

H3 (right?)- Ugly looking as well...I will also throw out there that I heard the warranty gets voided if you go offroading in that...so again, it's pretty much useless.

Im not even gonna bother sharing my thoughts about the last one.
