Only one with an old car in the family

My parents just bought my brother an 06 Civic, my mom has an 05 Highlander, and my dad has an 05 Acura TL. I feel so left out with my 97 4Runner

Don't worry about it... when time comes you'll have the newest car and they'll all be driving old cars. A friend of mine kept talking about how he's got his old '98 Prelude, because his sister bought a RX400h and other buddies got Scion tCs, but what he forgot was he was one of the few that got a new car back then while we were all still riding the bus.
 
yup me too ... well kinda.... 02 trailblazer (tranny rebuilt 3 times!) and 99 silverado ... i just take comfort in knowing mine will outlast my parents by a couple years!

Get a job & buy what you want. :D

Ya i gotta job that pays a whole 8.75 after I got my 25cent raise! :p IM planning on getting an RSX later because my parents wil give me 20k for a car when im in my second year of college, like my bro. Ill prob have to put in a couple grand or just buy a semi used one. So yes soon I might have a new car or a used one when they are all dirving their semi new ones
 
Well, my wife has the nice one and I'm still driving my 95 truck, and have no plans to get rid of it anytime soon.

I can afford a brand new one, but then I'd have to get rid of my boat and dirtbikes and I don't plan on doing that.

Hell, I only drive 20 miles a day Monday thru Friday so I can tolerate it.

I actually still like it anyway.

:p

That just isn't right, Just b/c the pearents have the money dosen't mean they gotta buy their kid a nice car. People dont respect what they dont work for. Sure the kids gotta take out the trash, and clean the bathroom. But that dosen't pay for a $30k car. I think what it is the parents whan to see their kid in a nice safe car.
I feel lucky that my pearents are paying my insurance. I'm driving a 1989 volkswagon Jetta diesel with a wopping 52hp and 650K miles on it. I dont care that the paint is gone all that matters to me is it gets 50 miles a gallon, and when my friends are cryin the blues about the gas prices I still can drive. Yes, I have a job and it pays 13.00 an hour, but I work my butt off. Half my money goes in a savings account college, the other half in my pocket.


I just dont get why someone would want to just give their kid everything and never make them work for it.
