Yup same here

That's what most people don't understand, they think that just cuz a teen gets a car he's automatically spoiled. Well you and your brother are proof that some teens do work hard for what they have.

Let me start off by saying I was one of the spoiled kid in high school, as my mom purchased a new Mitsubishi Lancer (non evo) for me at the time, not a sports car per se, but it was still a brand new car.

But the hard work you speak of, excelling in school, that's the responsibility of being a student. You get rewarded by not having to pay for rent or food. Any extra incentives from your parents are... well, extra incentives.

This post is just for those of you still in high school wanting your parents to buy you a car. If your parents get you a nice car, you are lucky, just like I was. But please don't feel entitled to a nice car simply because you do well in school.

I know most of ya that are in high school won't take this wholeheartedly, but in a few years when you look back, you'll get exactly what I'm trying to say.

I wish I could've bought a Cobalt. Had to settle for a stupid RX-8.

the cobalt wins only because the factory radio unit can shuffle to the next song when you press the next button.

Also will display song names....

RX-8 can't win!

well to all of you that say i shouldnt enter the contest... well i dont have a choice. people write my name down under the cool car category. then after the voting date is over, the top x number of cool car people go into a final voting to see who has the coolest car. so i dont have a say if i want to be in it or not. if i win i win if i lose then i lose. btw im supposedly <---(keyword) 3 votes less then the cobalt.

ive been with my parents a few times buyin cars and ive learned a few things. the more you put down the less you have to pay in interest. go for a 4 year plan with lower interest rates but pay it off in 3. anything over 5 years is stupid cuz your paying mostly interest and isnt worth it. pay it off as fast as you can. im 20
