well im in lincoln nebraska (usa of course ) but thats not my school parking tag, thats for one of my jobs (i have 2) to park... no way in hell i park at school, long story but to say the least, its door ding heaven... not even to mention the theifs we have there.... so i play it safe and park at a friends house close by....

one other thing i like to comment on, is that i payed for my car in full (check)... same with my friends... unlike kids i know with there ******* bmw m3s and such that there mommy and daddy gave them (that pisses me off)

Oh man I absolutely hate that salt.... its everywhere....


Well I am still in high school so the time that i can work is quite limited during the weeks, i work at the local school district for 6bucks an hour doing computer maintance on mondays tuesdays and wensdays for 2-3hours each day, then i work for my dad at 10 dollars an hour for about 4 hours a day on thursdays, fridays and some saturdays....
but my hours are really flexible... so it just depends on when i can get in to work, on a good month ive made upwards of 1800-2100 dollars.... sometimes more... it all just depends

plus this summer i may have another better job or something, so who knows

Well, I'm 17, and although it's no BMW, my Dad still paid for my 2002 P5 for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm working full time (our teachers are on strike here for who knows how long) and I still have to buy gas, and the wear and tear parts (i.e. new clutch, oil, etc.) The car is mine, and I can do with it what I want, providing I have the funding. There's no reason to hate. I totally respect that you bought and paid for your car in full, I know how hard it can be! But please, if I am offered a $22,000 car, you think I'll turn it down so I can pay for it myself? Not likely. In fact, I'm only one of many up here in Calgary. I'ver got a buddy who just got a 2001 GMC Jimmy 4 door from his parents, and another friend who just recieved a GMC Denali. (Yes, that's the $50,000 big *** SUV, but hey, the kid wears a Rolex! His Dad used to be the proud owner of Prospector Oil Inc. up here.)

Not trying to flame you or anything... In fact, it's nice to see more people "my age" up in here! Nice pics!

dude i totally respect that! seriously though im just proud of paying of mine.... now being given the car like that would have been an option to me but i chose to pay and let my parents pay my insurance.... long story but this worked out to be cheaper for me in the long run.....
