Okay I was reading the topics in this form and was wondering...how do you feel about rich kids with hella sick cars or regular kids with sick cars? I dont' know but i respect the kids that are regular college/high school kids that work and save to turn there cars into nice rides. If there parents help get them with the car that okay too. But I'm talking about the high end rich kids that don't know anything or much that go out buy a car and drop a lot of money to try to fit in. What ya guys think?

Hmm, I don't respect people for their cars, so to speak. I respect the cars. wink.gif

Just kidding, of course I'd respect the hard working kids that earn their nice rides by working their butts off. It only makes sense.

It will be a topic that will go on forever. It's almost like asking do you respect the hard working kid who works at Macdonalds or the kid whose uncle works at some big company and gets a job there paying $10/hour and sucks at his job. There is a flip side to both and it all just depends on the person.

rich people can buy whatever they want, why??? cuz they can afford it. On the other hand, it's a noble thing when regular kids work for their car, but they should know their limit, car = bad investment.

i dont respect the cocky ones that lies and claims to buy those cars themselves. What highschool kid makes that much money?

I dont find it wrong for parents to buy their kids expensive cars either. Some have more, so can give more. Every parent wants the best for their kids.

I think this topic has been covered in every car forum 100000000000000 times. Save the douchebags, I'm cool with the kids with the supercars.

i dont care how they got the money to buy the stuff. if they earned it themselfs more power to them, if their parents bought it they are lucky.

I will be honest and say that I am very envious and a bit jealous, but I don't have anything against them unless they get cocky. If I was rich I'd take a nice car anyday. wink.gif

Another scenario: The rich kids' parents might have been regular kids who worked hard and found some fortunate. Now they are able to afford their kid's good stuff.

If the rich kid is humble and respectful, then more power to him.

but yes, its more admirable for people to work hard for their things, but then again if you putting ALL your hard earned money into a ride then that is just dumb. You should save your money for other things such as bills and for rainy days.

Rich kids are just fortunate to be born in a rich family. So if you look at it in their side, since they have so much spare cash to burn, might as well burn it on a hobby they enjoy. As for the regular kids gettin nice rides. They have a passion for it, so they work harder to get what they want. Rich kids, if you think about it, dont have to work as hard (if at all) to get what they want, so you can never really judge their passion for their ride. Will a regular kid bust his ass at some sh*tty job for hrs on end if he didnt love cars? Doubt it. Anyway thats my point..L8

It all depends on what kinda person they are... I dunno, a lot of people say my family is rich... And I'm about to be 18 next month and I have an E46 M3, but I work my ass off for this car :\ Monthly payments and all.

I couldn't afford a new one :| I bought a used one. My monthly payment is $650 wiht a 2k down payment which came from my savings. My parents cover insurance.

We own a mortgage company, I work there for $15/hr. I'm about to be a loan officer when I turn 18 so I can make a lot more money, and I plan on buying a new M3 - I plan on paying it all up front though, but I'll be saving for awhile before I do that. I'm probably going to get another used one, but with liek... 2k miles or less on it or something since the E46 M3 models are getting discontinued.

i don't think there's anything wrong with rich kids getting nice cars from their parents. their parents worked hard for their money and that is the way they choose to spend it. i guess it shows that someone is hardworking if they earn their own money to buy their own car, but if you ask those people who are busting their butt to pay off their loans if they would trade situations, they probably would in a heartbeat. who wouldn't want a free car? we were all born into the situation we were in. we all want to be rich so we can live the good easy life, which is why so many people go to college. it's because of the money. we all wish we had a lot of money. no one likes to work their ass off and get squat crap back, but some people have to deal with it because that's the situation they are stuck in.

that's pretty good. i was considering gettin a new m3 (with options for around ~60K), but that would mean making lunch and bringing it to work, no more random trips to the bar and giving up on my yearly vacations to NY/Seoul for the next 3 years. haha...i dont think i could live like that.
