Agreed, the young silver-spooner has a driving problem and seems to have little sense of responsibility, but my philosophy on this would be if we don't have anything good to say then say nothing at all... as in just ignore his posts. Just my opinion

 

But if everyone ignores them than there will be nothing fun for us others to read.

 

Yea, but there's entertainment in it for some and hopefully the OP will learn from it (I doubt it, it may contribute to such tho).

 

no, i saved up about 2,800 to buy a truck. then the cash for clunkers thang came out. and sense we own a honda dealership we had a ton of truck and they gave me my f150 for free as a 16th b day presesent. and i still had all my money left. so i bought the lift and tires for about $2,300 and had money left over so i spent that on 2 12"s and a new radio. and some other lil things. so now i had no money left over out of that. then i got a job and started saving more money for other things for my truck and my rear end went out so i had to go spend all the money i had saved for the damn rear end. and that happened about 2 weeks ago. so now i have no money. to fix it.

 

then get back to work

 

1) I believe what your parents did was illegal. IIRC, any vehicle given to a dealership for the cash for clunkers deal must be destroyed.

2) You were saving for something you wanted but had to spend it on something you needed... welcome to life.

 

Simple solution. Work more and save your money for the things you need to do. Not rocket science.

This kid's threads always bring this whole forum together hahaha

 

Alrighty, I skimmed most of this but I just want to clarify somethings.

This kid, and I can call him kid even though he's my age because he has zero respect, is gonna be on his fourth vehicle? He ruined a Dodge in reverse, totaled his brother's Civic, it wasn't his but it can still be added to the carnage list, decided it'd be a good idea to launch a Jeep Cherokee off of God knows what, and now after he lifted and put bigger tires on his truck, he ruined it.

Is it me or does common sense dictate that you upgrade things likely to fail on your vehicle before you upgrade it? Brakes, gearing, transmission, things like that, am I on the right track here?

I'm sorry but no, this kid gets no sympathy from me. I'm 16, I'm rough on things, I'm not going to lie about it, but I still baby my truck, my mom's car, my dad's truck, any vehicle I drive, I baby like it's a brand new Ferrari or something. It's called respect and responsibility.

 

^Amen. I mud my truck some, but it always gets special attention after I do lol. I am 16 also and I take care of my stuff.

Only if they wanted to get the money from the gov.

 

You got one there.... the gas hog engines were to have been killed by the death juice

There ya go... a fine example of a responsible young adult. Keep it up.

The more I read here.. I wonder... if daddy has a dealership, all-be-it HONDA,... why doesn't he just have his kids' truck fixed by the techs he pays for? This thread is bringing back soooo many memories of all the vehicles I had as a youngster... one of my first was a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T with a 440. Still not sure why I am still alive. Bought it for $270 in 1980... any who...

 

1) It was!!!!!!! ha ha ha

 

oh and every truck before the f150 was wrecked before he had a DL..

 

[QUOTE=maddoughboy;4272913]No any car/truck in that program must have engine sized.. they had to do paper work on the cars.. and could not resell it..

 

ok im 18 and i had more common sense and was more responsible then you when i learned to walk.
Yes its nice to save money for things and then when you get it its great. but nothing is invincible and everything has its problems. i have a job also just to buy stuff i want. its called life. If you want sympothy im sure moms still got her tit out waitin on you. dont look for it here.
