If you're paying for it, it's in your name, and your insurance, they can fuck right off.

If they have any form of money involved in it, get over it and get a sensible car because very few parents help their kids this way.

>>17123343
It's not slower though. My parents have an Avensis.

Tell them to fuck off and that the 4WD is safer and superior than the 2WD.

>>17123361
I did that but they still think I want to get the car to just abuse it and 200-something hp is gonna kill me.

>>17123367
They're probably right to be frank.
Anyways, so who's paying for it?

>>17123369
Me for the most part. Like 90% of it.

>>17123367

>>17123372
That's kinda gay, can you really not muster up the remaining 10% and do whatever you want?

>>17123372
Why don't you just get a car that's only 90% of the price of the one your looking at?

>>17123387
I want an AWD 200hp+ car in a decent condition. I'll pay as much as I can but my parents agreed to pay me 10% more basically so that I get a better condition one.

>>17123389
Well they obviously haven't if we're having this thread.

>>17123304
Reminds me of a craigslist ad I saw recently where mummy sold his son's auto eclipse because it had a body kit so therefore it was too fast.

>>17123396
I gotta see this

>>17123398
Oh I just realized it's a manual, his last car was the autotragic, but he doesn't like that it's manual which only makes it more pathetic.

Are you buying it with your own money?

How fucking dumb is his mother and how dumb is he that he let her convince him to sell it lmao

>can't fathom how I can afford to run something with such a big engine

>it still does 30mpg
>it isn't even that fast
>just a comfy couch on wheels that goes pretty well
I fucking hate how ignorant people are about cars here

>>17124613
It goes for all of Europe, I'm afraid. People seem to think that taking a loan for a shitbox will be much more cost effective than buying used.

That said, half of beamers sold here are scam imports from germany with fake mileage and service history, but you can still find other good solid cars that won't depreciate as much and save a fortune compared to buying a new shitbox.

>>17124613
As a mainland European I completely understand you, 95% of people here treat cars as an appliances that get you from A to B capable of consuming as less fuel as possible, if you have something bigger than a 2.0 or more with 4 cylinders you will perplex them. Literally, they will be so dazed as it's difficult for them to phantom any older car or anything with a bigger engine. My friends literally started mocking me for driving a 2.5 Vectra (mind you, they were mocking me for driving a 2.5 V6, not a fucking Vectra which also appears bone stock) and cracking subtle jokes as why I need such a big V6. This is the mentality of clueless Europeans regarding cars.

>>17124648
They are right about the motorbike thing.

I remember my dad gave me that talk when I was 19 and hell bent on buying a c4
>tfw I took his advice and bought an econobox
>tfw 24 now and still haven't owned a fast car
Don't listen to them bro, buy the car YOU want, not your parents!

>>17124613
come to america where people driving a new ford f150 look at your 7 year old corvette and say "man i wish i could afford a car like that"

my parents never gave me that talk.. i drove a 7 series in high school and when i was talking about buying my first bike my dad talked me out of anything smaller than 600cc

>>17123304
Are you sure the talk wasn't about you being gay? Look at your choice in cars.

Also

>Sorry about your vaping problem

>>17124715
At least with the econobox you have now you'll have saved up some good money and can buy the actual fast car you want rather than just getting whatever you can afford at the time

>>17124720

People drool over my 14 year old car. They also seem to think it's new.

>>17124720
>>17124776
the point of the story is some people are not allowed to buy a sports car that's probably more than half the price ?

>>17123304
>I'm complaining because my parents love me and would be worried even if i drove a smart car.

Count your blessings faggot.

>>17124613
>Tfw driving a 6.3L VF SS
>All my mates still give me shit for driving a commodore
Fuck off cunts, I like my comfy car.

>>17123304
Pretty sure the only thing that will fuck you over in the end is the insurance

I'm assuming you're an under 20 male. Insurance loves them some under 20 males.

>>17123396
that's not why they sold it. they sold it because their son wouldn't drive it because it's a manual.

>>17124466
My 95 eclipe would reach ~270 kmh so i wouldn't call it [not fast]

>>17124722
Maybe they just wanted you to die in an accident

>>17127790
>My eclipse could go 168mph
cool story, bro

Fuck you, mom. I'll wrap myself around a tree if I want.
