June 30, 200719 yr I had a farmer's permit like a year before my actual license. I just used that to drive around everywhere. Now that I have my license I don't have to worry about cops. ^_^ But yeah, my car was used and $1000. So I just paid for it all myself, as well as gas. My parents pay the insurance and stuff like oil changes and junk. I pay for ALL parts and such. I think it's a fair deal. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways.
June 30, 200719 yr I can honestly tell you that I'm paying for my car, with no help from anybody, and I'm a teenager. I'm looking at getting a car around $7,000 not including taxes and insurance. I worked hard and saved and did not blow too much of my money of stupid things like others. You are spoiled if you are only paying $1000 out of a new car. I'm sick of these kids that think they payed for things when they barley payed for the tires on the car. They say they pay for the gas and insurance, well you should anyway, because it's your car (sort of even if your parents payed for it). Yes, I am spoiled. My dad makes $400,000 a year. My mom makes another $100,000 a year. My paternal grandfather bought my dad an all of his siblings cars when they went off to college, and so my dad chooses to do the same thing. Congrats to you, I don't know where you made $7,000 (as I can't even conceive that being possible for me, being 17 and so busy during the school year that I can only get a summer job), but that's totally your car, and you earned it. Must be a great feeling, a feeling that I already know I will not share. My problem though, is that I have no current way of making that kind of money, but my parents (having such busy lives, my mom just got back from NYC, and my dad was in Japan two weeks ago) still need another driver in the family, and they need that other driver in a safe and efficient car. So, I (and my sister, though it'll be mainly my car this year, and hers next year when I'm a freshmen in college) was lucky enough to have our parents pay for most of the car, as well as the massive insurance cost. Yes, I'm a spoiled brat who simply does not know the value of money, because me making $1-2,000 of my own dollars pails in comparison to the $7,000 you made, and the car you bought all on your own. Got a problem with it? Exactly. My friend has her own car. She's had it for a while and has paid for all of it. (*gasp*) Sure, it's about 10 years old, an ugly coffee color, and the drivers side back door gets stuck from time to time, but it's hers. Not her parents, hers. I can't imagine how that feels. And if you only have to chip in $1,000, you won't have that feeling. TBH, I don't see why a high school (or even college, for that matter) kid should have a new car, used is fine. I am getting a used car. Not a ten year old $30 car, but it's a used car :-w . You are right though, I won't have the feeling of owning the car. My loss really, so it's almost karma if you want to think of it that way.

Just because you think you're top [cabbage] doesn't make it so. And these laws are to keep morons like yourself from holding a licence in the first place.
