For me, I’d never buy my 16 year old kid a modded car or even a very expensive car. For one, 16 year old can’t drive. You can’t. I couldn’t. You’ll understand when you are older. I have no problem with a parent buying their kids a car out right. I am not sure how to explain it but it’s the fucking scumbag, disrespecting, rude kid that doesn’t appeciate shit is what bothers me. But as Timmah said, who am I to judge? I dunno. Perhaps I am jealous deep down. I cannot explain it. ---

my parents are against me modding my car, mostly because i took 'em both for rides in it this last year and they were in shock/scared for my life. Either way i’ve paid for most of my shit myself, and the money that my dad has loaned me i pay back, until the point where christmas comes around and then i get nothing except he cancels my debt. But i’ve worked 2 jobs for the last 5 years, and i don’t owe anyone anything for my car. I think Shawn had a good point, that its fine if your parents see that you enjoy your car hobby and help you out with stuff. but the kids that are driving dad’s vette talking shit to people and swiping mommy’s gas card, and not working for anything are a different story. ---

> [@Shawn96VR-4](#): > > I agree with you even though Timmah dislikes my opinion on this? We’re allowed to disagree, it’s not a crime. In fact I once felt exactly like you did, eventually I came to grips with the fact that it was just me being jealous, the world is full of so much negative energy I decided I don’t want to contribute to it unnecessarily. My parents gave me $700 towards my first car and that’s it, granted it was 10 years ago, but even then that much money wouldn’t buy me a panty dropper of a car. My parents have bought 3 cars for my older brother, gave him a down payment on his first house and bailed him out of countless financial problems, some siblings would be jealous but I’m not. First of all I am glad it helps my brother live a better quality life and secondly I don’t need the help. One day I plan on having a family and you can bet your ass my kids are going to get everything I feel they need to live the best life I can provide for them. If you can’t share the fruits of your labor with your family it’s a sad state to be in. You teach your kids values, honesty and morals, then send them into the world to test these theories, the best lessons are learned not taught. Again, who are you to say if someone’s kids are deserving or not? Until you can say it is your place, you have no place butting into their business, you don’t know all the facts and are letting the bad experiences out weigh fair judgement. From my experience the truly spoiled rotten, cocky kids come from upper middle class families who think they are rich but aren’t. When you have money there is a mental shift and you no longer feel compelled to try to impress other’s, you do what makes you happy and share the experiences with the special people in your life. When someone is insecure and unhappy they feel the need to create a false sense of fulfillment by spending money, bragging or putting other’s down. Sure there are exceptions to every rule, but as a whole the anomalies are rare. ---
