14-96 camaro z28
16-97 es300
16-00 328i
18- 98 gs400 and 89 honda civic
18- 98 gs400 and 96 nissan quest
19- 98 ls400 and a 96 escort haha (gas saver)

all paid for with absolutely no help from mom (she had enough bills of her own), although I did live under her roof and didnt have many other bills besides insurance, and cell phone, did throw money my moms way every now and then but other than that my cars and clothes, girls were my only expenses.

I love the cars Ive had, all treated me good, because I feel I did them, do all maintenance myself, pay for my mods myself, just about everything I do myself, I work hard, I plan to sell my ls400 when I find a house, its going to be my down payment

not so sure on this comment, i would put flame suit on just to make sure lol

I dont think it matters what car you get from you parents there are ALOT of kids that would consider you spoiled for getting a 91 honda accord

just because your parents budget allots for a nicer cars, doesnt necessarily mean that any kid that doesnt get the cars your fam can purchase, they are not spoiled,

spoiled is such an inapropriate word, I consider any kid that was given a car as very fortunate, because you do have other means of transportation (take a look at your feet)
I consider myself lucky to have my escort and priviliged when I get in my ls, but I know I have worked hard and have earned it

Im 19 now but i got the car when i was 19. It was a graduation gift. I have to say my parents have some taste. haha! I used to have a 05 Range Rover, but those cars are the worst on reliability and i did something to the drive shaft.

I was almost 50 before there was any chance at all to buy a Lexus. They hadn't made any yet.

Took me just a few more years to realize that "Yes, I wanted one"!

Bought my IS300 @ 22.

Paid for most of it myself with money I've been saving for the past few years, and my dad helped me out with a low-pressure loan for the rest.

I'm 25, just got my first Lexus (IS250) this year, and yes I am paying for it. I got my first 'vette (in sig) at 23. I also paid for that myself.
