tired of lil rich kids...

[MasterMan]

alright so saturday night im up at our car meet and we were waiting around for some ppl to show up so we could go race.. so our friend tells us that 2 supras will be showing up.. so we all were like.. ok thats cool.. anyways they finnaly show up and these 2 lil kids are in one.. they step out of the car and they are 16.. i was like WTF.. the kid that owned it didnt know anything about it, his friend had to tell us what turbo was on it and so on.. we asked how much they payed (and them not knowing cuz his daddy bought it for him) they just said "alot" the kid had 2000$ RIMS on that biiiitch... so anyways everyone was talking talking trash about him (what do u expect.. a 16 yearold driving a 98' supra NO 16 year old should own a 35,000$ car) but we went out to race and as we all thought the kid couldnt drive worth sh_it... i know, this is a pointless story.. but it just angers me because some night it will be raining and the kid will brake it loose and trash the car and kill himself.. car should of gone to someone more diserving... oh well..

i feel the same way you do bro. stupid little brats get anything they want, and yet have no idea of what they are getting. they saw the car in F&F and say hey thats a movie car i want it, so they get it. screw them. they need to eat their own arse hole

I know how you feel, but come on street racing sounds kind of juvenile too, I get jealous when my neighbors dad buys her a $40,000 dollar lexus for her 16th birthday too.

[Sopdadope]

Occassionally, I'd have to go pick up my lil sis from school (Boston University) and the school lots are literally teeming, wall-to-wall, Beemers, Benzes and other high-end vehicles (my sis's buddy just got a G35 6spd for his 20th birthday). I confess to being slightly jealous, but I'm more concerned than envious. It's a tragedy when some kids grow up with a silver spoon and never have to work a day in their lives. They become so accustomed to getting what they want, they don't appreciate how hard a myriad of others have to work to earn such amenities.

A lot of younger people do in fact know what they have and do apprecaite nice things even if thier parents buy it for them, but like everyone has said, a great deal of them do not and it's too bad. They do not appreciate what they have at all.

[MasterMan]

yeah ill admit it, im young and my parnts along with my grandma helped me out alot on my car, and i do know what i have and i am gratful for it, it might not be a 30,000$ car but i try to treat it like it is...

[sultan]

i know you're talking about parents buying cars, but i bought a $50,000(in 94) car when i was 18 (in 2001), with cash that i made working. of course the car i bought doesn't hold its value as good as a supra would, but it is a $50,000 car nonetheless.

A couple kids at my school use to make between 80 and 100 dollars and hour! as web programmers/crazy computer sutff (I have yet to learn) before this "downtrend" we are experiencing now. THINK about that 80 dollars an hour! They hadn't even gone to school

80* 2 hours a day * 6 days a week = $960. (not sure about taxes) but that is a shiz load of money...oh and by the way, Both of the kids have 70 thousand dollar cars....

I know I was happy when I got my 10 dollars a week for mowing the lawn..

[MetaOrbit]

Yeah! To hell with those teenagers and their expensive cars! :rolleyes

Because they all did nothing to deserve them, and because they don't appreciate at all what they have :rolleyes .

Let's hang Bert Cates....Let's hang Bert Cates!

Yup, at my school, all of the girls that are, no offense, asian, or veitnamese, i have allot friends that are vietnamese, but this one girl just got the new g35 2 dr, another got the new SI (underpowered and ugly), and another got an RSX Type-S, lucky trix, my parents said that i gotta pay for my car in full, so, a few years ago, i discovered the 240, and thatz what i am gonna get. I hate rich kids, right now there is a story on the news about this one black high school basketball player, his parents (supposedly) got him a 55000 dollar SUV on 24s, which is the the new H2, with that much, id get an R33 GT-R. i hate em

[skydragoness]

i couldn't agree more with what's been said already

Sopadope: your'e right on about the silver-spoon complex as well.

those same exact kids who got everything they want will soon find their world crashing down later in life

if i suddenly became 'well-to-do', and if i had kids, i would help them out with paying for their education, other than that, it's essential to learn to do everything the hard way first, you'll be more appreciative in the long run.

[ninjak84]

Argh.... these boards are going downhill.....Let's start a thread everytime we get jealous of someone else, ok?

Is everyone here poor? Didn't think so! Be happy with what you have.

[MetaOrbit]

I guess no one here picked up on the fact that I'm 18 (or just don't know me).

Shut up.Quit *****ing about what you don't have that someone else does.I've lived in Katy for 13 years, and I went to the same schools you're talking about.

You don't like not having money?Get a job.Don't hate on someone else just because they have something you don't.That's just plain dumb.

If you wanna talk about over-the-top, teenage excess, check this: I know a kid who has a turbocharged Type R, Mercedes Benz CLK Compressor and now, a 2002 SL600...and he's not even legal drinking age yet. That's insane.

I mean, hell, I would love to have these cars but I truly appreciate the way my parents have raised me without spoiling me. Their motto's pretty much been, "we feed you, keep you clothed, but you earn your own keep." They've never really spoon-fed me on anything, whether it be some roadmap to how I should live out my life, my career path, or anything. They've basically had this sink-or-swim philosophy and have always instilled in me that making mistakes is quite alright, because when we "fail" or "lose" we learn so much more than someone whose always been "on-top."

I don't know about other folks, but when I laid down the $7g of my own hard-earned money in sophomore year for my car, it felt great. I slaved off entire summers in order to save up enough to buy the car and for sure, I appreciate it 10x more than had someone else just given the car to me. Sometimes it's all about integrity...

Went to the so-called "preppy" school, saw kids get handed their cars, get tons of points on their licenses, and continue driving b/c mommy and daddy knew a judge or lawyer or whatever. Knew kids who dealt drugs to make their $$ b/c preppy kids are damn stupid, and I worked a crap job at like $6/hr b/c my parents wouldn't drive my a$$ anywhere thus my need to work someplace close within walking distance. Further, I worked odd-jobs for neighbors, and got shafted with a FORD TEMPO the worst piece of automotive engineering since the actually, it may very well be EVER, but hard work and determination can't do it all, you gotta be connected, and when you come from money you're already that much more connected and wrath and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... and AW DAMMIT MILHOUSE!!! I'm out!

[JESTER]

Hey, if my mommy and daddy were rich and told me I could have a MKIV, do you think I would say, "No thanks"? I would be like, HELL YEAH! You can't blame the kid.

[DAEDALUS]

Very true. You can't blame the kid who's parents spoil him, and if you believe in Capitalism, you can't blame rich people for being rich. What constitutes good parenting will always be subject to opinion and open for debate. Rich people who spend their money (or their parent's money) are just redistributing their wealth and paying salaries and sales tax along the way. It does more good for your state and community than if that money was sitting in a bank account at 2.5% interest.Sopdadope, I know what you mean about Boston U. I've visited quite a few large campuses across the country, and nowhere else have I seen so many nice cars driven by the student population. Literally, bumper-to-bumper, light-to-light, 30gs and up cars. I remember for my junior year in college my parents let me have their '87 Chevy Deathtrap and I felt pretty spoiled then, after riding my bike and catching the bus for 2 years. Not fun during the midwest winters!
