The weirdest thing happened today.. Shocked.

[SneakyVTR]

Right so I have a rather spoilt friend from college who is always getting stuff bought for him until he phones me up today in histerics saying "I'VE GOT A NEW CAR, I'VE GOT A NEW CAR!!!!" So anyway he wouldn't tell me what it was on the phone so I was waiting around and turns up in a new Golf R 2.0L 6 speed manual.

Obviously happy for him and in shock that his parents splashed out on a new car let alone a new Golf R?! Why not something more suitable for an 18 year old? I know for one if I was lucky enough to be in that situation my parents wouldn't get such a high powered car because i'd obviously "crash and kill yourself" in the words of parents everywhere. (Edited, cheers Nicole :y:)

Anyway now for the next part we go up on to the dual carriage way and he decides to cane it down this dual carriage way at about 2pm not to many cars about as its a quiet bypass so cut a long story short he hit 105mph down this dual carriage way and passes a BMW M3 who obviously see's us then decides to give it a go.. He then looks at it abit closer and realises it's his mum.. A few minutes later he gets a call and she said "I could have had you but I wouldn't want to crush your ego would I.."

I'm still shocked with it all to be honest.. I mean what, REALLY?! The new car was enough but the mum racing him down the road?! Carless much or is that just me?

Needed to get that off my chest

[Kev_Vtec]

lol racing his mum lol.

[Tabzman]

oh dear

[blakey26]

too much money not enough sense

[tom130691]

LIES! lol if you were offered that, or that amount of money to spend, you wouldnt say 'no its got too much power for me' :p

No I maybe worded it wrong, my parents wouldn't buy me a car like that because of the power.. Of course i'd love one!! But meh we can all dream haha

I'm 18 but I do still rely on my mum for things ie I'm laid off for the next 3 week, so she's offerered to lend me the money to pay for my insurance aslong as I pay her back.
But I do agree that 18+ who get everything bought for them without paying it back need a slap.

imn 18 next month and still rely on my parents. ive got 2 horses and 2 cars, and the horses my parents wont let me get rid of, and im on a 5.5k wage so looking after myself would no way be possible

[SneakyVTR]

"Ha what a stupid comment!!" Don't be a spoilt brat about it.. Mummy and Daddy won't be around forever then you'll have no idea about the concept of money and budgeting to have funds to see you through.. In short, your a prick :y:

Not at all mate i work full time and i am also in full time education. Just because people have a bit of cash and buy their kids cars does not mean they are spoilt. and the only reason i posted my comment with that attitude is because you said that anyone who relys on their parents needs a slap, why is this?....cunt

Your signature relates more to yourself than other people! There is a difference between relying on your parents and getting gifts from them.. E.G Not getting a job and paying for it yourself but expecting them to get it for you.. Also I didn't say it originally I just think your comment was out of line but then again thats all Keyboard Warriors are these days..

Yes, i understand what you mean but even though i have a job i still rely on my rents as i do not earn enough to live on my own (due to collage). So i think you need to be a bit more specific with your first post, i just find when people put comments like you did they don't really think about what they are saying.

Keyboard warrior....errr na! Just don't see the point of people putting stupid and pointless comments.

Gary mate you don't know me so don't talk to me about attitude. I will talk to people politely and respect their views if they don't post stupid comments.

[J222JRA]

Oli, Exige (Charlie) and Gary........play nicely.

[Pieface]

I'm 18, and with a chain of events owe a couple of grand. My parents are helping me out by helping me pay some of it. So you're telling me if you were offered help you would refuse it? I struggle to make the money due to the sexism in my work currently (Person covering the supervisor (Who is my Mum, who broke her leg) will only work with female staff so I either get the crappy shifts, or no shifts at all, while 2 girls get loads more hours than me) so I would have trouble reaching some of the payments that I owe.

[coalpoolwalla]

how a few of you are saying at 18 still relying on mommy and daddy.
i was 16 when i started looking after myself. i was in a good payed job so thought it was my turn to look after mum n dad.
i payed for the food shopping every week and also put half to the elec/gas ( i was in the house most the time though due do being a call out engineer so its only fair)

and tbf its helped me out alot.
most my mates get there wage on the friday.... piss it all up the wall by saturday.
id rather save my cash ( yeah spend a little) but you never know when you need it and dont rely on someone else, there not gonna be there forever

can you imagine that both getting pulled over and the police realising there mother and son o dear both retarded if you ask me :wall:

[coalpoolwalla]

i respect you tbh mate, if i could get a job i would do the same.

thanks mate.
unfortunatly i am out of a job myself at the minute.
but i still dont ask for nowt or "i need this or i need that".

what i havn't got i can't have... simple as.
when i got my 2 weeks in hand when i handed my notice in i saved that to insure my car and pay phone contract.
although i could of gone out on the razzzle and asked mom n dad to pay for it i chose not to because i know when i REALLY REALLY need help it will be there

thats all well and good because you had a well paid job though. if i had 1k to spare every month id pay for as much as i could, my moneys going on petrol to get to work, £2.83p/h isnt gunna go far really is it. so yeh i need my parents for things

[jglanzav91]

Whats all this about payin for the shoppin at 16? did you give birth to them or what lad? jesus christ

[dondan]

story sounds like a load of rubbish, there's no way you could possibly "just realise" you were racing your mams m3...he wouldn't be able to pick out his own mams car on a quiet dual carraigeway?

but still, golf r very nice

[benkelsall]

Been working right since I left school, gone into a family business. Used to save money easy but now get paid friday and more or less gone by sunday.

[Cal]

Does piss me right off, I'm from a single parent family that has earnt everything I own. Now my Mum is physically unable to work and the council don't help one fucking bit I support her financially too.

[coalpoolwalla]

was that just to get your first post or what. :S

the way i see ... your mum and dad earn the dollars when your growing up to put food on the table and clothes on your back.... you start earning your own corn.... isnt it time to repay them.

yeah some will say they bought you into the world they should look after you. i quite agree.
or dont give them fuck all till you leave home, after spending all your money everyday on fuckall.

get your own pad and its like ohhhhhh shit i got to pay this... that and the other ,,,, i cant go out every week like i used to boozing.

or learn early... where if there is problems it doesnt REALLY matter because your only doing it out of kindness.

make up your own decisions.

[Tommo87]

I'm 22 and have never had to pay my own insurance, yes it is slightly odd but it's a small perk as it gives me free reign as to what I want to drive providing I can afford to buy it with straight cash. On the flip side though I pay £600 a month on clearing debts, 1/2 the weekly food bill and £10 a week for all other amenities.

As for the lass with 2 horses and 2 cars yet still relies on mum+dad you need to take a look at yourself, can you really ride two horses at once and let me guess you drive both cars at the same time to the stable/paddock.

[Tommo87]

Wtf with double posts lol

A. your not the right colour

one cars off the road, the other one i bought cus i needed to get to work.
i had 7 horses last year, went down to 4 which i had to beg my mum to do as its hard letting them go, now down to two, one is a semi-retired and one is 2 years old, so too young to be ridden, so have two unridable horses, and my mum refuses to let me give up completely even if i do prefer cars, what can i do :n: stables are in my garden so enough of the smart arse comments :)

This is not going to go down too well :n:

Think she got a VTR, realised she couldn't tax it because of a mess up, so got a cheap 106 to get her to work and back.. Read her progress threads to see the problem.

And regarding horses.. If you got a dog, brought it up, and sold it, wouldn't you miss it?

[jglanzav91]

yeh it was my first post, first time i'v seen a need to...if i went to my mum n dad and said here, go n do this weeks shopping il pay for it, they'd say don't be stupid, they would never take it!! I do pay for things for myself i work part time and im full time at college but my mum n dad wunt expect me to put food on the table? My mum would rather me make sure all my college works done n then go to uni before i start payin her back for sugar puffs!

[Carlvtr88]

just a horrible accident waiting to happen TBH IMO.. Its better to nurture yourself into driving with a small car or something not so quick... unless your very sensibe and level headed.... Which he has proved he is not by smashin 100 down a carriage way. Its so dangerous when you think.

now i never said they HAD to have it did i?
they dont ask i OFFER Big diffrence pal
and i never once said "paying them back".... if you read the post abit further down.... i mentioned about learning to get into the REAL world where you have to do things for yourself.
this is only MY opinion on life so its upto you what you think.
but to put what you did my first impression of you = what bell-end had nowt else to put for his 1st post so decided to rant about someone elses.

GREAT

How far to work? Do buses/bikes not exist around your ends? Your horses your choice, personally I'd get them nags down the glue factory or donate em to pedigree.

Not being smartarsed just being the voice of reality. I for one used to make a 35 mile round trip commute daily via bus while saving for my first car and on the days I couldn't afford the bus or it was a nice day I'd cycle.

[Nathan]

Theres a difference of sponging of your parents or looking after yourself and offering to help,

Ive bought my own car, pay my own insurance, i offer to pay food bills and rent but my parents wont accept my money as theyd much rather i save it, get on my own feet and get my own place as they did when they were my age.

So its not all about you should pay your parents but theres a difference when your relying on them and demanding things as to being offered ;)

No need to be a E-Warrior, Can't you keep this thread without a arguement.

[titchster]

So, he's an 18 year old, that's insured on a Golf R... Not impossible, but still a big feat.

Then he goes racing down the road, only a few hours after he's got it, and in the middle of the afternoon, and 'happens' to race an M3 (which lets face it, a Golf R wouldn't really stand much of a chance against), for the M3 to turn out to be his mum, who claims she 'could have had him but didn't want to crush his ego'?




So, simply put, with the way he drives the car will be majorly written off/he'll be in hospital/dead within a matter of weeks...

and i for one have had some of those horses for over half my life, so no, no glue factory but cheers for the advice :y: not my choice as my mum payed for them when i was younger, and had stables etc built, seems a bit of a waste.
place i was meant to be working was 40 mins drive from my house, half hour walk from any bus/train stops, and that road was a single carriage A road.lol oh and i have pretty servere asthma, so cycling that far is out of the question :D
im not retarded and i have thought it all out... i dont have all of it for the sake of it,

[coalpoolwalla]

coolpoolwalla from walsall, a big time PREMIUM MEMBER with his 258 posts?? You think i was desperado to post or summat? sorry to blow your 1.1i engine but no mate, no

yeah watever
like i said its my opinion if you dont like it fuck off else where.
and coming onto a forum, your first 3 posts are abuse , your going the right way to get banned dont you think


so you carry on mate

ohhh and sorry to disapoint you but not once did i mention im from walsall a big time premium member wit x amount of posts and a 1.1 engine.

so the point of your 1st 2nd and 3rd post was?????

[saxolenny]

give him a few weeks and he will write it off and if i had a brand new golf r i would look after it not kill it a think his parents must be well off and are trying to prove that through there son like so he can snub all his college m8ts and have them all jelous what is the point :S ma uncle is loaded and has a 7 acres of land down in the scottish borders but he is so down to earth wouldnt go about stuck up or trying to compete .... anyways thats my 2 cents worth

[jglanzav91]

Sorry premium, il leave you be on your thread now, don't forget the extra 3 quid this week though, your outta bog roll...night babz x

[Chloeex]

Its nice his parents are willing to spend however much money on a 2.0 litre golf. People jump to conclusions far too easily about people and rents, i live with my dad but i earn and pay my way, with the exception he helps me out money wise when i need it. I dont agree with teens living off their rents and expecting the world and using it as an excuse not to get a job.

+ Surely he would have known it is his mums bmw. Yes?!

[Tommo87]

All I'm good at, digging holes. sorry but none of those are excuses, I've got asthma I just used my inhaler when needed, I used to set off 2 hours before I had to be in work for the buses and even sooner if I cycled, fair play I retract the horse comments as I'm quite partial to some cross country myself but if your mum is adamant to keep them ask if she'll foot all the bills for them.
If you cut your unnecessary spending (other car/horses) your VTR would be sorted a lot quicker.

as stated, my parents pay for everything already as theres no way i could, and i needed another car as others said i had problems with log book lol

DVLA office with new keeper supplement, licence and insurace certificate it worked for taxing the ATR and I ordered a free replacement logbook while I was there.

[Tommo87]

I didn't want a life story just curious as to why 2 horses and 2 cars, horses fair play point cleared but the car is just an extravagence IMO. Guess a more tactful approach next time.

I'm 20 and definately still dependent on my rents, I'm at uni and because of my dads wage I get a very basic student loan which only just covers accomodation, did try getting a job but it interfeered with my studies to much, however conversly on my gap year I worked full time and effectivly lived independently

as for racing his mum, I have on occasions in the summer gone on spirited back road drives against my dad

And tommo what difference does it make to your life if nicole has 2 cars and 2 horses, last time I checked she, I, or infact anyone had to ask your permission so stfu

This thread will never die! *Along comes mod.. closed*

I agree with most people of here though it is annoying when you see a young person in a car clearly payed for by theri parent, I'm 19 had a ford fiesta mk4 for my first car getting payed 6k a year and could only just afford to keep it on the road, still had to pay my way at home, got a slightly better paying job and got myself a VTR and have to work hard to keep it running, and i see 17 year old lad that go to college and don't work driving 09 plate cars, I'll be the first to admitt, yeah I am jelous, and would take it is i could, but it still winds me up mainly because my life just won't be as simple as theirs.

ye kids in cars obviously bought by their parents is annoying. but then their clearly going to grow up with no understanding of the value of money.
my father paid half for my 1st car as an 18th birthday present, which was a N reg fiesta. since then paid for each car and insurance myself.
