how do you deal with all the attention?

Why?

If someones parents make 600k a year why is it wrong for their child to receive a 40k sports car?

Its ignorant people like you that piss me off.

My parents bought me my 370z fully loaded. My dad is a VP at Exxon and travels to dozens of countries 90 percent of the time, he was hardly ever home when I was a teenager and I since my family lives in a different country now I see him maybe once a year if i'm lucky and i'm 19.

So you see everyone makes sacrifices a lot of my friends got to see their families every day growing up but didn't get a nice car in return and a lot had both.

If your parents made a ridiculous sum of money would it be wrong to share it with their immediate family?? My parents pay for everything and support me through school and I love them for it. They want me to come out with 0 debt and be able to live the best life I can possibly live. So before you go make assumptions on "daddy bought me this" remember who really cares

It's spoiled kids like you who piss those of us off who can actually afford $40k sports cars at 19.

Why? Because you absolutely DO NOT have the same appreciation for that car that you would if you were paying for it off your own hard-earned money. You don't have to worry about coordinating maintenance or repairs, you don't have to worry about insuring it.

Unless my future kids are just like I am when it comes to cars, they aren't getting anything better than a beater car when they're under my roof. I will pour my entire soul into teaching them how to be successful, but a $40k car as a handout is just ridiculous.

So if I got a lambo or a ferrari would I be super super super spoiled?? I take care of my z better then the majority of the population takes care of their car.

Do I piss you off? So if your parents gave you a z when you were 19 would you have thrown the keys right back at them and said no I dont deserve this?

I'm blessed and grateful for what I have, spoiled is relative and a very stupid word. We are all spoiled to be able to grow up with a roof over our heads and food every night.

There is so much animosity between people who buy stuff themselves and get things from others its ridiculous. Its not my problem your parents didn't purchase you a car and I could care less why they didn't, because in the end all that matters is my life.

Your dad's salary split 7 ways after taxes really isn't that much. A $40k car as a straight up gift is kind of ridiculous no matter which way you look at it.

We are all separated in age by numerous years, and only 2 of the kids drive at the moment so I guess he has some time to get his finances in order. Since he is a expat everything is paid for, that's how he affords to buy me nice things.

That's not his salary either, I actually don't know the specific number its confidential.

I appreciate everything my parents give me, and if they bought me a stock mustang for 20k or a Camry for 15k I would still appreciate it because its still a ride.

Majority of the kids in this world never own their own car, I just feel lucky enough that I can be one of the ones that do

My original responses and comments still stand. Someone who says things like he should find richer friends, speaks loud about their core personal values.

The laws of physics would have to change for me to care any less about how much you see your dad or your daddy issues. Why don't you tell your dad to make 1/4 of what he makes so he can spend more time with you?

What I care about is "deserving" a certain lifestyles. At 19, very very VERY few people in the world deserve a 40k car as a gift.

Get over yourself. You are still a nobody, at least not without your dad. I am done with this useless thread.

I fully agree with your assessment. Its futile now because I'm in University. I never asked you to give a half *** about how much I see my parents, if you read the post correctly it was meant to emphasize that money isn't everything and just because someone looks as if they have everything doesn't mean ****.

I don't deserve anything, I know this. I have seen poverty in Asia (where they live) worse then anything in this world. Enough to make anyone break down, its pretty awful. That's why I respect everything I get, when people say that anyone has a opportunity to be something great, they haven't been to these places, where people makes less then a dollar a day.

I have a perfect GPA in University which is more then I can say of a lot of my peers. I work my *** off and study hard so one day I can capitalize on my parents efforts and trust in me to pay my way through school.

There is always going to be people who think you get to much, people who think parents shouldn't pay tuiton, rent, insurance, car bills. Everything pretty much.

Im nothing without my dad? PLEASE. How many people in this world can say they are their own person and their parents did not influence them in any way shape or form (money or other) Get over yourself, in this thread I have not gone around saying OMG WATS UPSS DYDDE DRIVING MY 370Z PARRRRRTYY lIKE a ROCKSTAR Wtht MY DDS MOLLLAAA

Because I'm not that type of person. I'm a respectful adult and the amount of respect you get in these threads from people who are supposedly "mature" and "buy their own things" is ridiculous.

kenchan

that's because you're weak. my parent's place use to have a pit toilet inside the house. i was perfectly happy. ok, this was many decades ago.

wishihadnav

hey that how they roll in Asia

nolan1016

Maybe that's true, I'm not ashamed, these people work their *** of every day to earn essentially nothing. Its pretty depressing to look at and most people never see it.

No matter what I type in here it gets taken the wrong way because people want to always have a certain out look on a 19 year old with a sports car. Sorry if I sounded like a spoiled kid, I was in no way, shape, or form trying to brag about my dads salary, just use it as a example how everyone's situation is not the same. It's his life and he worked hard to get there and I can only hope to be half as successful.

Peace

kenchan

i was only kidding! but you do sound like someone that misses his dad a lot. go visit him and your mom when you can.

nolan1016

Yeah I do, Work with a 24 hour flight makes it pretty tough. lol I thought you were serious, I had the honor of using the pit, and it was a great experience to say the least. Luckily I did not have to take a **** because it looked like it would take some skill to clean that mess up.
