    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.

    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.

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

    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)

    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
