How many of you girls buy your own cars?
Does rich daddy/boyfriend pay for your cute cars or do you actually work and earn them yourself? At a lot of shows around here it seems every girl with a nice ride has been swingin from a rich man's sack then brag about how cool her car is, and don't know anything about it... btw stripping doesn't count, that's not work.

I know what you mean. That's also MORE true w/ a lot of these high school kids (mainly guys..just my opinion) whose parent's buy them $20,000+ cars for graduation or birthdays AND pay for the mods! It makes me sick because my first car was a 1990 Mercury Topaz! Now I have a GSR and it's in my name and I pay for all of it on top of my maxed out credit card bill for the mods! If it were up to my parent's...I'd still have that Topaz. My boyfriend owns a tuning shop here in my town (so yes I get the hookups...but not for free) and I've heard stories of kids moms or dads actually coming in w/ them and buying them anything they want...repeatedly! Must be nice. It all comes down to how people were raised I think. In my family it's "You work=you drive, you don't work=you walk."

Oh hell no. I EARNED my car. It's in MY name, I pay insurance, I pay for most of the things to get fixed. It is MY car. Granted, my parents do help with a FEW SMALL things (wiper blades for Christmas, headlight bulbs for birthday) but I pay for most of the maintenance on my car, and I'm proud of it. No free rides for me. I KNOW what's gone into my car. My sweat, my blood, and don't forget the tears.

Good to hear. I'm sure the 16 year olds driving $40,000 civics won't bother posting though...

Hey Ricochet...I found a thread you need to check out for kicks.
Automotive Forums .com > Honda/Acura > N2O/Turbo/Superchargers > TURBO HELP!!!!! It's kind of long but it's hilarious. I just posted a reply to it a second ago. I can't believe that it relates to what we are talking about!

OK I'll be the spoiled brat then. When I got my first sol, my dad paid for it, paid my gas (he gave me a card), and paid my insurance. He also gave me my first car ever, which was a 1987 Ford Ranger. Gave it to me, I wrecked it, he got me the sol. Then I sold my sol to get a nicer one, the one I have now, and I'm paying for the sol and the gas. Insurance would kill me, literally, so I don't do that. When my sol breaks and it's gonna cost more than around $150 to fix, dad pays. What would I do without my dad? Live in a box and be miserable and broke.

the only way i'd get my car would be to pay for it myself, my parents don't think a 16 year-old should have her own car. So i pay for the car, insurance, gas, repairs, everything. I like it that way though, i wouldn't want mommy or daddy buying me everything, it's kinda cool to pay for everything yourself anyways. Mind you i only paid $500 for my 1991 accord EXR (it used to be my grandparents) i sure as hell got quite the deal though...but at least i paid for it (even though they practically gave it to me at that price) but hey i have to buy everything else

Yeah, w00t for insurance. With mine some fat slob ran into my fender with his ASS! Like literally i mean, so insurance wouldn't have covered it. Body shop wanted to replace and repaint the fender as well as RE-PAINT my door just so it would color match. I was like "you've gotta be kidding me!" And walked out right on out of there.
