Speaking of reading, you didn't even come close to spelling my name properly. Good work!

i would like to say that yes i am spioled my grand mother paid for half of my truck and the truck i had before this that my dad paid for... i sold and paid for the other half. i paid for my little system saved for half my lift and sold my quad which paid for the other half....the quad my parents bought me. my dad bought me two tires for chrismas and i thank him for that case thats a pretty bad *** christmas present. i am spoiled!!! no 17 year old kid should have a 35k truck but sh*t who would tell them they didn't want it i sure as wouldn't and didnt just dont say your not spoiled guys case you are!
Ok this is what makes me angry. Everyone in my neighborhood calls me spoiled and a rich kid because my house is bigger and my cars are nicer.

Parents spend a % of their income on their kids. about 20%.
spoiled is when parents spend more than that % on their kids, what they cant afford. my dads 20% is a lot higher than the other parents 20%. So really them buying their kids a $4000 car puts more of a dent in their wallet than spending 25k on a truck to my dad.
how can you expect someone to not spend the money on their kids if they have it?

You sound like one.

Resize your sig picture too. It doesn't need to be that big.

Given the context, and the fact that he was literally only stating facts... I would have to disagree with you. But I guess this brings us all back to where this thread went wrong... people automatically accuse people that have nicer things than them of being spoiled...when they have little to NO understanding of the real situation.

I'm 16, will be 17 in a two months, and I have a 2006 XLT Screw. Yes my parents and grandmother paid for it, but this was a graduation present, real early lol, and I never get in trouble or do dumb **** so they felt I deserved it. We bought it used with 15K on it and paid 21K for it. I have paid for most of the mods, except the backup lights and toolbox, but those were for X-mas presents. I do work in the summer, I'm a caddy btw, and will hopefully find some time on the weekends when school starts to detail cars and make some more money.

Here she is =)

talking about teenagers and their first cars.


somethin about the combination just pisses off people.


I'm 16 and my truck is something i am proud of. its an 04 f150 heritage model, and it had 54,000 miles on it when i bought it. technically, im still buying it. my mom put down 1,000 dollars. i pay the note and gas, which is about 320 dollars a month combined. and they foot the 190 dollar insurance. and i try and put in half for insurance.

i dont have to, but its a nice gesture being they bought me the truck in the first place. it was 14,000 dollars, and its pretty much brand new.



im spoiled. and im sure there are guys here more spoiled than me.

know what i say? my hats off to ya. your lucky you have the opportunity, and if i had the chance, i'd take it too.

chill guys. this is why kids look stupid these days.

oh yeah, drone you have a really nice truck. how wide are those rims on it?

My dream truck of working my *** of and doing well in school in hopes of someday getting I am finding out 15 16 and 17 year old kids already get this.... I don't wanna sound like an *** but... damn.... And to think... at my school.. most kids ride the school bus. I feel blessed not having to do that (i'd just get a ride from a friend anyways). Enough crying now :P. I'm 17 going to be a senior.. and im a proud owner of a 1996 F150 that's my baby. I wash it allllll the time and clean windows tires wheels and everything. In my sig.

No, given the text of my original statement, its people who read things into a statement. I never said anything about being spoiled from nicer things and never said anything about understanding anyones 'real' situation from being given things vs being spolied. Too funny. What else am I gonna say that I never typed? I am waiting on edge to find out.

Now if a high schooler bought it, put a down payment, saved up etc.. I applaud them for their focus and hard work. Then they really deserve a fruit of their labor like a beautiful truck. They have the right to make it known that they BOUGHT IT, "wipe your feet before you get in."

I've seen too many kids get a brand new nice truck, put on $$$ of aftermarket add ons, then drive the thing like it was stolen and smash, scratch, dent, and generally treat it like crap, aka, go out on weekends drinking in that brand new nice truck.

Those that paid, work and bought a vehicle, tend to wash it, rub it, maintain it and generally treat it like it was a true reward.

Hell I drive 30+ miles a day just to go to work. That dosn't include if I want to run to the store or friends place or the 200 mile round trip up to our camper every weekend. I also help my parents drive my brothers to different places. My truck gets around 10-11 mpg and I pay for every cent of gas I use. Plus insurance and 4 wheeler payment.

Your truck should be getting more than 10-11 mpg. I have 3 inches and 35's and im getting 14. I was getting 17 before the lift and tires. All it looks like you have is some tires a little bigger than stock.
