(+) Yeah! (+)

This girl I been seeing wants a a car but has no money. I told her to ask her parents but she says they are broke. She can't get loans because of bad credit.

When I told her that my parents gave me my cars to help start me off she said that was a bad thing. Like what the fuck? I think parents should hook up their kids with a car if they have the money. I think she's just jealous. My parents won't buy me shit but if it has anything do with education they buy me it with no hesitation. I needed a car for school.

Most everybody I know got their first car from their parents.

mine was my grandma's car lol. some buick century from like 1992.
---

Yep and I'm pretty grateful for it. I've never had to deal with having a car payment
---

Pfft, I had to earn mine, so no hand me downs.

All four us had to buy our own shit.

Shit, my parents could barely afford their own cars. I can't imagine them giving one to my sister or myself. None of my friends really got a car from their parents either. Everyone who got one in high school saved up from their part-time jobs and got a used one for a few thousand.

Well kinda. It was bought with money my grandmother left for me but my dad was in charge of that money when I was 16.

I've bought all my cars, but my parents paid for my first year of car insurance when I was 16 and bought my first car.

I have given a vehicle to my parents. I bought a new car and my dad needed a car so I gave him my old one.

I had to buy my own car. Our neighbor was selling his for $800 and i bought it. It was a really good car, had it for about 12 years. I miss that car.

Not technically. My grandmother gave me her car when I graduated high school, and my dad is buying a used "family car", but with the understanding that I'll be using it 90% of the time because my car is dying and I can't afford a new one.

No. I've completely paid for both vehicles in my name. My first was $1,000 when I was 16, and my current was a little over $5,000.
