Help Please! Need to convince parents....
My Monte Carlo was scratched twice and dented in the rear quater panel the first week I was in college. I also pledged so being able to transport one other person was COMPLETELY impracticle. I wanted an S back then too, bad. Matter of fact the summer they came out was the summer I left for school. Even my wallpaper on my computer was of a GPW S. If I had gotten this car then, I wouldn't be here to tell you about it....trust me.
How about this equation: Alcohol (lots and lots) + S2000 = ????

Although I was racing at the time of the accident (I had a 91 accord with an H22) you have to understand how ignorant SOME elderly drivers can be sometimes (those of you that live in south Florida know what I'm talking about).
no offense but get this.
I found out today that this kid i know just got a 05 fully loaded wrx sti from his mom.
car he had
2001 integra type R (first car and first time driving standard) what happen "wrecked", tranny gone and wrecked it racing.
2004 350z 4 months wrecked again (driving fast in the rain on the hwy)
2005 wrx sti 2 months
Look what this kid is doing to his mom, Insurance shot out the roof, all these cars is worth 80k combine. Why his mom still buy him car...afraid he might run away or start stealing and end up in jail.
I think he should be in jail, learn the hard way. Over all IMO the car you want should be the car you can get on your own. Stay in school and get a good job. Then when your older get the car you always wanted.

this is not a new age. There are still plenty of us young people who pay for their stuff and get a lot of pride out it. Your comparison of the s2k and the neon only applies if both parents paid for the cars. ( I assume that your logic is that since the neon owner only has to worry about pissing away $10k of his parents money, he will be in less trouble than the kid who beats an S to hell when the parents find out) I had an 87 chevy nova when i was first driving and even though i only paid about 500 bucks for it, i took care of it as well as i take care of my S.
You are ruining the reputation of all <25 year old S owners on the board!!! stop positng crap like that.

And i know kids who have cheap cars. Like my friend has this 1990 jeep wrangler that can barely stay together, and all he does is beat it to shit for no reason. One time we went off roading and he got stuck so i had to go home and get my moms explorer and drag his ass out. And on the other hand, I have never beat my car at all because i knew one day i wanted to sell it. I was just stupid at wasting my money on shit, especially since Audi parts are rediculously expensive.
But i know what youre saying that not all kids who drive cheap cars arent going to take care of them. I think depending on who you are, how your parents raised you, how youve lived and managed your time/money over the years, is going to determine whether or not getting a new car is worth it. My dad got me my car so i would learn, cause he knew i would. Sounds to me like this kid just wants the car so the girls from his high school will notice him a little more.
I am not ruining the reputation. I dont think you can compare an 18/19 year old to a 25 year old (the difference could be a college degree, etc.). Again, my eyes are twisted mainly because of wehre i live and how a majority of kids here live.

Their parents control them cuz their parents were their meal ticket. The more financially independent you are, then the more you can control your own life. Having your parents get you that S is just one more thing they can hold over your head.

Sounds like his mom has more money than brains.......
And for those who try to play the "It's a different time now," "It's harder being a kid now," and "You don't understand card," grow the f*ck up. I was around then, and I'm around now. It is no more difficult being a good kid now than it was 30 years ago. You have no one but yourself to blame for your own mental weaknesses.
