Yeah well my dad always made me work and pay for my cars but I don't necessarily think it makes you a better worker. For me it just made it harder to focus on school and sports and my grades suffered.
Now as for my son, as long as he gets great grades I will buy him the best car I can within reason. Grades and behavior are number one in my book.

im not mad at kids that get good cars in highschool, i had a 3.5 and worked so my dad went 50/50 with my 1.8 turbo jetta, on the other hand my lil bro is valadictorian and is basically going to whatever college he want almost free so my dad completely gave him a bmw 330ci and i think its perfectly fair cause he worked his but off and chose grades and school over work were i didnt

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.

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.

no way a cobalt could get more votes even an ss lol, my friend has one and even girls tell him its a chicks car, then they dont shut up about how sexy the 8 is it gets annoying sometimes, you think the girl like the 8 more than you

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
