well, it's your money
so do what you want with it

As long as you arn't asking them for any help with the project then it is your choice.

>>16412367
Why the fuck would you want that literal piece of shit, are you retarded?

>I don't have a car
>I'll buy a piece of shit project that I can't even drive when I need to because I'm constantly fixing it

800 eurobucks doesn't sound like a lot of money (or even enough) for a project. The Trabant is a piece of shit, period. College means you probably won't have money to keep up with maintenance. Your family seems reasonable and trying to put you on the right track.
Ask yourself this: do I need a car? And act accordingly.

Nope. I made it clear that I am saving whatever cent I can so I can afford to buy and screw around with it a little bit and I clarified to them that by no means do I ask them to spend anything for it.

Look, I've heard it before. The "is a piece of shit" part can apply to any particular car in the eyes of a lot of people. Thing is, this particular shitbox caught my interest so I'll leave hit here. Pretty sure if I said E30 or anything else I would have got similar responses aswell.

800 euros are not "enough". I know. I keep saving from whatever I earn. And yes I know colleges (and even the college-time jobs) aren't enough for maintenance and I'm mostly going with the idea that after I get my licence diploma and become active with a properly paid job I may be able to afford much more for my project. It more a matter of "be sure I secured one" before actually venturing into stuff, even if it might fail like other people failed in this too.

(You)

I've had a similiar kurisumasu and new years.
But ended with dad saying to wait a few months and then he'll help. He knows i'm gonna hoon the fuck out of it anyway.

Anyway it's your money do what you want.
Trabant is a piece of shit in every sense. You've been warned.

In my defense I collect any kind of pics I particullary find funny or I can use as reaction images later.

>>16412669
What I think some of you fail to understand is that 800 bucks is what I managed to save so far. Not the milestone, not the "job well done, I have all the money I need", just the currently existing budget. I am no fool, I know 800 euros is esentially rainwater and can't do much shit with it and I fully aknoweledge a "project" requieres a lot of money that is more than the car's value itself.

>>16412982
look at other cars first.
You can get a lot of neat cars.
I was dead set on an AW11, but after a lot of research I've descided to go for the one car I woved to never go for.

>>16412367
It's your fucking money innit.

>>16412367
good luck finding a p50 for 800€
if you find a ok one, buy it

>no car
>drives his dads car
>wants a Napoleonic era land ship "project"

OP, get a fucking daily first. That car is going to gather rust while you do your assignments and spend all your money on food, instead of fixing it like you're planning too.

>all while you drive your dads comfy car
>not giving a fuck about paying insurance, registration, etc

youre a fucking idiot OP

>youre a fucking idiot OP
Why does that make me an idiot? First, they have another car for their use which mostly my mum uses since my dad preffers to walk his way back to work since it's not far from home. Besides, I use it only when needed (going to uni, grocery, stuff like that).

>not giving a fuck about paying insurance, registration, etc
He even said that when I got my own car to hit him and put insurance on his name because he has more years since he got his licence than me and so insurance will be lower. In his words "why give more money to insurance companies?".

>you probably dont even pay for petrol
Aww, have I gotten so low in your eyes?

>>16413236
What's so bad about it? I preffer it over the common, cheaper 601 version. At I find it aesthetically pleasing too. It's like love really, sometimes to some people it doesn't make any sense.

Basically, your parents will accept you for who you are (after minor bitching), even if they're salty (heh) they raised a pirate captain instead of a scholar.
