Who bought your current car

[The Ren]

I was reading some threads and I see alot of people have their parents buy their cars... and alot who do it themselves.. Just curious who bought your car...


Since i made this I will start. All four of my cars I bought myself: The eclipse was with my pell grant moeny, the tracker was with my summer vet tech job and I paid over a year on it, my civic was paid with my 04 tax returns... and my supra... well i paid for that myself too...

[uproot]

me.

and shouldnt your pell grant go toward education? lol

[The Ren]

me.

and shouldnt your pell grant go toward education? lol


Well Pell gave me 4000 a semester.. and at the time my classes only cost me 1100.. So I got a check for the rest and used it to get a car since I wasnt living at home (i was 3 hour away) and I needed a car..

[uproot]

well i guess that was still technically for educational purposes lol

[The Ren]

well i guess that was still technically for educational purposes lol
Exactly...

[Hulud]

i bought my first car from my dad

i bought my second with insurance money when some bitch failed to yield and had to throw in some more cash

[Bishop]

are you referring to the kid looking at the black civic who is 16 and had the 2 supras??

[Hulud]

o btw you shoulda made the poll public

[DreamerTheresa]

Bought the Spyder MYSELF, though plenty of people greet me with either:
"What does your dad do?"
er... he's pushing up daisies, douchebag
-or
"What does your boyfriend/husband/fiancee do?"
makes me cook and do dishes.

[Nemesis]

I bought my 300zx and I bought my Cougar. Paid for all my mods too. People can rag on either my cars, but most of the time its immature young fucks that do it. :)

[PSINXS]

they helped me get the loan but i pay for it. so i guess u call that splitting the cost

also my dad helped pay to get the motor dropped. i exhuasted most of the funds i had left on the buildup.

[maddawg73]

brought my 5th gen. prelude 2 years ago. 1 more year and i will be debt free.

[never_finished]

bought mine, still paying for it.....almost paid off though


although its currently broken, and i want to set it on fire :)

[ALVIN]

I was given my first car and wrecked it and sued and got a settlement...I bought the RSX and still paying. Hopefully I'll be able to trade in to get something different 4 door.

[RandomGuy]

lol i used my pel grant for forged pistons LOL its a educational expense... you cant really go to school without them

[APEX i GSR]

wifey bought GSR but all mods bought by me
i bought her last 3 cars though

[i4_garage]

all of my previous cars were family bought for me....but this coming up one....a 99 EK hatch....i bought that with my own $$$.....but it was dirt cheap....but i will use my Pell grant money to put into it

[JustinSane110™]

Mine fell outta the damn sky.... :lmfao:

[never_finished]

oh, and on the subject...not bashing or any sort....but i dont understand people who bash people if their car was bought for their parents. I mean if the parents can afford to give their child a car, then why not? i mean i paid for my truck....but if i had a kid and could afford to buy them a car...long as they showed appreciation and responsibilty, then sure.

[Darling Nikki]

My parents have never bought me a car. My integra I bought. My Eclipse I bought and my magnum AND my wheels I bought.

[5thgcelica]

all me baby.

tho i had help on the paint job..but it was a b-day xmas thing.. so it wasnt just straight up money out of thier pockets..but... what you see in my sig is all earned and paid for by me!

[Leisa]

I have purchased every car I have owned!....Brett on the other hand.. well thats a different story (he is a spoiled brat)

[Darling Nikki]

^lol :la:

yeah i agree, i think there are just too many ppl out there that have their cars bought for them and they have not respect or appreciation for it. i've known ppl to just wreck one car after another and every time they end up with something better.

i myself was given a car to drive (an old family handmedown, not a new car by any means) when i went away to school at the age of 16. couple yrs later i chipped in for something else. my folks were always more concerned about me studying and whatnot when i was goin thru school instead of working all the time (even though i did anyway). bout to buy my first by myself though now that i've graduated and have a real job and shit.

[Niger]

speaking of cars. In my contry we are not have many car. I had bike. My parent buy for me.

[HyPer50]

I bought this mustang (shell) with money from insurance (from totalling my old coupe) and with a bit of my own money to get the swap done... 95% of the mods on the car were paid in full by me.

[atlvi3tb0i]

with money from insurance for totalling my 96 240SX to a drunk driver

[fight club]

ive had alot of cars. my first was a 88 s10 i was given from my stepdad because he was offered 500 dollers as a trade in on his f150. i was 15. i took that car, sold it, and bought me a 93 civic. sold it and put it as a payment on my second 2000 civic, and got my rents to cosign on a loan and made payments through my job. i totalled it, and used the insurance to pay rest of the loan and used the left over for a 98 frontier from an auto auction. my brother painted that for me and helped rebuild the tranny. my real dad gave my his 97 f150 for two reasons; one he couldnt get trade in on it because of 180k miles, and second, he never paid child support and has started feeling guilty. i then sold the fronteir for 1000 because it got rolled and bought a system. i traded the f150 for a 2002 civic ex and took a loan to cover the rest and started making payments. my mom and stepdad paid it off for a graduation present a few months later. i then sold it, bought my miata, and paid for my apartment. so, ive had help but ive always wheeled and dealed for what i wanted. im about to start making payments on a 2004 sti when i get moved back to gwinnett. all mods are paid for by me, but my rents have loaned me a few hundred through the years for unforseen mechanical problems, but have been paid back most times.

and i think the comments towards that 16 yr old isnt because his dad bought the car, but because most of us didnt get a turbo civic as our first car. we had to work for mods etc. but to each his own i guess. im glad hes that lucky, tho not what id put my son in before he is certified to drive. LOL.

[BigPoppaHurtm]

Got both my Altima and my S2k by myself. The alti had a nigh interest rate because I couldnt get a co-sign but the S is reasonable since I took care of my credit. I do wish my parents could've bought'em (doesnt everyone?), but then I dont think I wouldve appreciated them so much.

[Crazy Asian]

Parents gave me my car as a grad present which costed $15,000. Lets just say I tried to make it so I can pay for my car since I have a job and he bitched slap me across the face and told me to save my money. So next car either an S2K or possibly a G35 from selling my Prelude and me paying for the rest. They hate that idea...they seriously do. Im thinking Im gonna be kicked in the balls for this one.

[SixSquared]

My sol is all me. :) And the mods are all me, too. And more than once, I have been stuck in the "eat lunch, or pay for mod?" bracket... usually the mod wins. My dad helps out from time to time.. loaning me an extra $50 to pay for this, or randomly getting me a present that he knows I need, but 95% of the car has been paid for by me. Makes it SO much sweeter to see it all coming together.

[BTLFED]

I bought all 3 of mine.

[boosted1jz]

out of the 15 1/2 cars i have owned.... i paid for 13 1/2 of them.... the other 2 were given to me because my parents didnt want the cars anymore and couldnt sell them..... so i put them to thier graves LOL

[buddha@TeamFX]

I've had more cars than I can count..i think I'm up to 18...bought and sold most of them for profit though...and I paid for everything except my first monte carlo its was a 1983 and my parents gave $800 for it

i feel u man, azn parents are like that :D

[AtlantaImportGuy]

I bought my shyt, BITCHES!!!!! :king:

[SaraX5]

my current car was an early graduation present from my parents bc the car I had before it was a 98 Acura 3.0CL which was a lemon and I was broke as shit paying for repairs on that junk all the time.

[SilverJester]

My first car was given to me (95 talon, 16th birthday present)...at 18 some lady rear ended me and totaled it. With the insurance money I mananged a 97 eclipse with a blown motor. Then I swapped in the motor from my old talon. All mods were paid for myself (except an old intake pipe, which was a gift). My parents have loaned me money to fix the car before, although I have since payed them back (it's a DSM it breaks a lot...lol). I know there are some people who are given cars and have no respect for them, but I think that those people would be the same way if they bought the car themselves (especially since if they bought it themselves it would probably be a pos beater). I take more care of my car than anything else I own and and very grateful to have received it.

[chnco]

I performed sexual favors for all 500 of my cars.

[Sirk]

Bought my msp, dad bought my maxima after I totalled the msp, i bought the 240 with the settlement money and I'm currently paying for my TC, I don't know why, I want to get rid of it now! lol

[Kryptonite]

I bought all mine... exept for 2 , 1 blew up on the way home, and the other took 4 lanes of traffic to make a left and half a lane to make a right ( Step-dad traded 2 -12's and an amp for it ).. Sold them both within a week of having them. Both new cars i have bought where both all me ( no co-signer ) .. Plus i bought my ex-gf ( babys momma ) and ex-wife there cars. Some of my past vehichles was far from great lookin, but i worked my way up bustin my rear for what i have today!

[YokotaS13]

well i bought mine, the AF bought my wifes lol

[Buford®]

My parents paid for the down payment on both Sporty Accordy, and Sexy CL-S. The payments wre all made by moi. The mods were by me, as well.

[SEAN]

nice to have a parent pay for stuff....another to pay for yourself...you will respect it more when you pay it all...

[JITB]

mom bought my escort
i bought my neon-probe-protege-contour

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

I've bought all of my vehicles.

[GirlieZ]

i signed on the z (@ age 20) and the civic before the z (@ age 19) with out anyone's help. I get help from my family as far as housing goes since i am in school...but my car is my reponsability...its why i work...contrary to the belief that my doctor daddy bought my car !!!! hehehe

[ATK_Designs]

2001 - I bought my first car Accord. Dad put down 3K for down payment - Totalled, my fault.
2001 - Bought my 2nd Accord, 3yrs payment - Totalled in 05 - Not my fault, got rear ended
2005 - Bought my dad a new Toyota Sienna minivan - Cash, and I drive his Camry, totalled later that year - not my fault, hit a run.
2005 - Bought my 3rd Accord to be my daily - Cash
2005 - Also bought me the G35C - 3 yrs payment
2006 - Bought GF the IS250. She paid it cash :P

Though I'm the only child, I don't want to rely on my parents, that's why I'm trying my very best to show them what I can do :) I never asked their money for any thing. I work on cars & paid for things I want to do by myself. I just want them not to worry and be happy.

[kelly marie]

at 18 my mom gave me her sunfire.. i took responsibitly for the payments of a whooping $150 a month.. got in an accident on 285 and totaled that.. so i bought my se-l altima when i was 20.. my mom helped with the down payment bu the car was in my name.. i paid for everything else... then i traded that in last year (23) and bought my xterra myself..

[ahmonrah]

i've bought every car with the acception of 2 , with cash. since high school('96), i've owned 7.

[R3RUN]

My parents bought the car because they had to give my hand me down to my brother. They made me get a job first though. Ill be buying every car I get from now on though.

[BlkCD5]

My parents bought the car for me with the insurance settlement, but I've paid for all the mods on the car.

[brads94accord]

my dad gave me my old 94 accord when i was 16 right after he paid it off. he bought it in 95 w/ low miles. i drove it until i was 18 and some old woman decides to pull out if front of me, totalled the car bit my fault. i paid for all the mods on that car, then took the 4k i got from insurance and borrowed 2k from my folks which i have paid off a while back and bought my 97 accord i have now, i have paid for all the mods i have done. i am thankful for my parents giving me a car, i totally respect it, do all the maintanence myself and baby my car. I'm not one of those ungreatful bastard kids you see beating on the car their mommy and daddy gave to them and eventually totalling it (their fault)

wtf do you do?!?!?!

[TIGERJC]

I worked at ihop for 2years in high school to buy my mr2. My mr2 was my own graduation gift to myself. i paid cash money for my car, fuck banks

[babygurl]

blah i honestly wish i could say my parents paid for my car lol.....i hate bills

[SwurvinIn]

my car was a graduation present....flame me if u will but none of u would turn it down

[silver]

My first car was a 1990 Buick Skylark. My dad gave it to me, that's the only thing I was given though. Flame on that but its a f'in Buick.. Skylark at that, lol.. but I am glad that was my first car though. Being 16, a new driver, jsut learning how to take car of a car on my own, I am glad that it was jsut a Buick after what happened to it. Transmission slipped like no other, and i totalled it too, lol

After that My mom helped with a down payment on a 96 Accord, but i made the payments.. well only 2 before that was totalled.

Right about that time my sister lost her licence so I took over her Sunfire for 6 months and took over payments.

Then, I was 19 I think I bought my Cavalier.. my name only and I made the payments. By this time I was on my own anyways, lol

Got rid of the Cavalier for the 95 Accord and now I have no payments, lol... But soon I am getting another car and that will be me and only me again :)
