YOU RUINED EVERYTHING, THE PARTY'S OFF!

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time]

See what happens when you buy a Lexus?










This message brought to you by Kia. One hundred dollars and a job is all you need! Kia.

[Tsa`ah]

I don't know who is more deserving of multiple baseball bat shots to the head ... the mother for buying that little bitch a Lexus or the daughter for being pissed it wasn't the car she wanted.

Fuck rich soccer moms and their demon spawn.

The worst part: She isn't even cute enough to skate by on her looks. Poor little thing will be doing porn in three years' time.

[AestheticDeath]

Wow that girl is fucked. I wish I was that spoiled.

[Arkans]

Think her next birthday present should be a box of "any authoritarian country of your choosing where women are horribly repressed and see what happens when you bitch".

Assuming she knows what authoritarian, repressed, or country means.

[thefarmer]

Just tell her "I'm sending you to a town with no mall, no fancy stores and no cellphone coverage."

She'll kill herself.

[Tsa`ah]

Na, tell her she'll be shopping at Family Dollar and Dollar General from now on .... and she has to take public transportation to get there.

[Clove]

Obviously the Prozac isn't working. And I wouldn't want my child operating heavy equipment if she had a tendency to overreact like that combined with so little self-control. Sorry babe, you're on the bus till you're 18.

[Daniel]

Well, the mom did send the car back.

[Nieninque]

Her mum should have ditched her out the Chelsea Tractor and made her walk home at the end. That would have given her a reason to hate her.

[zhelas]

Talk about a high maintenance bitch.

[Clove]

Well, the mom did send the car back.

Yeah but I'd confiscate the driver's license too :D. She's not driving ANY car.

[Danical]

She needs a healthy clamkick; probably more than just one.

:yeahthat:

Any parent who would buy their 15 year old a brand new car, I don't care if it's a Lexus or a Kia, is a dumb cunt anyway. Kids don't need a brand new car for their first one 'cause chances are they're gonna hit SOMETHING with it anyway. Let them learn on a safe, used car that's unlikely to break down.

I HATE that fucking show. It's a waste of air time showing bratty kids that needed more discipline in their lives. Yeah it looks like it's from sweet 16.

[CrystalTears]

My first car was a Ford LTD. :(

Worst car ever. It was old and broke down a lot. My mother eventually got me a better used car later on, but to her, a large car meant safety and she didn't consider that it was crap.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Any parent who would buy their 15 year old a brand new car, I don't care if it's a Lexus or a Kia, is a dumb cunt anyway.>>

Or someone who has the money to do it? A new car is certainly safer than a used one.

Let's say someone wants to buy their kid a $25,000 car in cash for their 16th birthday. It would take $30/week for the lifetime of the kid at no interest. At 8%, you can toss in under $7,500 and let it sit.

Mine was an '89 Chevy Cavalier convertable that stalled (and often took at least 10 minutes to start back up) every time I slowed down from a speed above 50 mph :(

It didn't get fixed until I talked to Darwar about the problem, and it took him literally 10 seconds to realize it was some sort of torc converter issue (or whatever it was called). After a year of hassles I finally got it fixed though. I still wonder why the dumbass mechanic couldn't realize it on his own, heh.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I think that lexus was an SC430, which bases out at like 65k? Hell of a first car.

[diethx]

And the first time that spoiled little twat goes too fast because no one taught her limits and no one taught her to respect anything (because she's obviously TOO AWESOME), she'll wrap it around a tree or a pole. Or maybe it'll happen the next time she goes drinking with her friends and is too young and stupid to listen to her parents (which we all were to some extent at 15). Would you really risk a 65k car with that? I'm definitely of the opinion that a kid's first car should be safe and reliable, and used. Something inexpensive enough so that it wouldn't be terrible if they messed it up. And shit, no one needs to be spoiled that badly. Kids need to learn personal responsibility even before 15, and that girl seemed to have none.

[zhelas]

Or if some dumb shit marries her.

"ZOMG YOU HAVE SUCH A TINY PENIS!!! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING, THE MARRIAGE IS OFF!"

[CrystalTears]

Shouldn't you notice said tiny penis before getting married? :D

[TheEschaton]

My first car was a beat up POS '94 Ford Tempo. Aquamarine, too.


We called it the lean green machine even though it started shaking and rattling above 60 mph.

Paid for entirely by my job washing dishes. At least I'm not like this bitch.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

My first car was a 10 year old (at the time I got it) 1976 Datsun 280z. I loved that car, and I paid 3k for it myself.

LOL, that's like my fiance's car. He got his license late (at 23, :x), so he's still got his first car. It's a POS '93 Toyota Corolla. It's one of those black models from that year where all the paint has begun to chip and fade, so it's got giant grey patches all over it. It's also dented up from one of the previous owners, so it's total shit on the outside. I'm so mad though, because the only thing that's ever gone wrong with the car is that it needed new spark plugs. Well that, and some assjacket smashed his window yesterday and stole the faceplate from his CD player. They couldn't even get the thing out of the dash, but still stole the faceplate...................

Anyway, the first THREE cars I owned all broke down monthly or so, like it was a fucking ritual. I had shitty luck with cars for a long time :/

Edit: Oh but yeah, another point I forgot to make, his car rattles like hell above 60 too, haha. He just needs new tires and some serious balancing, though.

[Clove]

Or someone who has the money to do it?

There are lots of people with more money than brains



A new car is certainly safer than a used one.


I don't think that's true statement. A used car that's only a few years old and has reasonable mileage can be just as safe as a new car.



Let's say someone wants to buy their kid a $25,000 car in cash for their 16th birthday. It would take $30/week for the lifetime of the kid at no interest. At 8%, you can toss in under $7,500 and let it sit.

And let's say there are fair odds the kid will total the 25k car within a couple years. I'd rather spen 9-12k on the used car that's only few years old in that case (whether I had the money or not).

[diethx]

Isn't that the truth :/

[Bobmuhthol]

<<A used car that's only a few years old and has reasonable mileage can be just as safe as a new car.>>

It's inherently safer to buy a car that you know hasn't been owned by some random guy.

<<And let's say there are fair odds the kid will total the 25k car within a couple years.>>

I don't know if I'd call the odds "fair." I think only one person I know has totalled a car. Being a young driver doesn't make a person a retarded driver.

[Clove]

Really? Ever hear of a safety recall?

[Bobmuhthol]

Because hot damn, it's fucking impossible to buy a used car that subsequently gets recalled, amirite?

[zhelas]

Shouldn't you notice said tiny penis before getting married? :D

Agreed she probably should have taken it for a drive!

[Clove]

Right and the previous owner probably fucked up the ABS, frame, suspension and airbags in a couple years. AMIRITE?

And the point is just because it wasn't owned prior, doesn't mean it's "safer".

[Bobmuhthol]

Yes it does.

[Clove]

I don't know if I'd call the odds "fair." I think only one person I know has totalled a car. Being a young driver doesn't make a person a retarded driver.

Not retarded. Inexperienced and more likely to get into accidents during their first couple years of driving. And more likely to total the car in an accident. Maybe not "fair odds" but they're a greater risk to get into an accident. Hence the decision to buy used cars for new drivers. Good used cars really aren't less safe than brand new ones in any way that matters- but they are cheaper.

[Clove]

Yes it does.

Nuh uh!

[g++]

Good used cars really aren't less safe than brand new ones in any way that matters- but they are cheaper.

Do you actually believe this? I mean just think about it for a second.

If two cars are exactly the same except one is brand new and one has been driven for 20,000 miles inherently the ware and tear on the second car makes it less safe to drive. All other things being equal a used car is logically less safe than a new car.

Really? Unsafe how? What did that 20k miles do to the model that impaired its safety?

[zhelas]

Really depends on how the milleage was added to car. Highway traffic versus stop and go city traffic.

Or if it was in Boston and was going through the many pot holes.

[g++]

The engine is more likely to explode. Even if theres only a one in a billion chance the engine will explode at 20,000 miles its still 1 billionth less safe than the new car. I could come up with some reasonable scenarios but I dont feel like it.

[CrystalTears]

A new car couldn't have that 1 billionth chance of exploding?

[zhelas]

Sounds like steam cars to me

A car with 20k miles on it is still under manufacture warantee FFS.

[g++]

Your transmission could go out on the highway.
The engine could overheat because a coolant hose fell out.
The oil pump could break.
Your windshield wiper motor could stop working in a monsoon.
The door could fall off on your foot.
Your airbag could have been stolen by the seller.
The breaks could give.
The onboard computer could fry while your driving.
The previous owner could have stuffed your seats with popcorn, then while your driving on a hot day it all pops causing you to vear off the road into a mattress factory

Your claim is a used car == new in safety. If you assume used equipment has a higher failure rate then new this is patently untrue. If you dont assume used equipment has a higher failure rate then new then I have a few computers Id like to sell you.

[The Ponzzz]

Unless it's older than 3 years (or 5 depending on the company).

Regardless if parents should buy their kids new or used cars, I think a kid buying his own car teaches more life lessons and responsibility.

/agreed I had to buy my first car.

[The Ponzzz]

I went to the auctions and got my '90 Honda Civic with like 210k miles in 2000. That bitch was a beauty. Was just over a grand too.

[Bobmuhthol]

I didn't have to buy my car, but I have to pay for insurance (expensive), gas (expensive), and maintenance (not terrible). It's counterintuitive to expect a kid to get the money to pay for a car, since (here) you need a car to be able to work, and you need to work to be able to pay expenses.

I had chores, did yard work, house sat, detailed cars, etc... to earn money before I was old enough to work. After that I took buses, road with friends and my folks.

Yeah, I did those gigs and walked/biked to work, and took busses. I didn't buy my first car until I was almost 20.

My parents opened savings accounts for my little brothers when they were like 8 and they saved gifts, allowance and casual labor receipts until they were old enough to drive. Little bastards each had enough cash for a good used car by then.

[iJin]

My mom doesn't like me working.

She's supposed to buy me a car too, and then yesterday shes like, how about you get a job for 6 months then get a eh, so-so car on your credit and pay for it with monthly payments.

Mothers are so indecisive.

Oh wow finding a job! Having responsibilities! SCARY SHIT!

Always took toilet paper for granted when growing up. That is some expensive stuff!

Seriously.

Oh well, my mom is spending lots of cash on me in the next 3 months anyways. She's already bought me a cap and gown, fancy invites, senior pictures, some fancy tassel, a graduation ring, and she still has to plan my birthday/graduation party.


Though, after I graduate getting a job doing some crime scene investigation field work out in LA and going to college. Loads of fun.
