I also bought my car myself when I was in High school but I don't go around bitching just cause I'm mostly stock since I'm a broke college student.

riiight like parents know to get their son taka oil lines for xmas rather a shirt. does your mom/dad know about Grant steering wheels or taka oil lines?? hell does your parents know what a SAFC is? most likely not. im sure these people gave hints to their parents to buy it for them. all in all, in the end you are still getting your parents to buy you seomthing. i made it super clear that nobody is to help me fix up my car, even my own gf, this is my hobby and mine to complete.

i dont care if your 16 or even 25, getting parents to help out your hobby is gay.

hell im in college, 3rd year, with a gf n bills to pay, so why am i able to fund my own project and not have my parents do it for me, and also i am currently unemployed.

First, I would just like to commend RDMII (russ) on his perdictions. You are right this new slew of 240 owner is fucking repulsive.

Second, Far be it from em to call anyone out on what is right or wrong. I am not the ideal candidate for that. But When i hear ranting bitching becuase you can not mod your car. GUess what DUMBFUCK, leave it stock! So you don't have cash for those new ROTA wheels on EBAY, so be it. Or what ever fucking tawdry piece you deem acceptable to take your parents hard earned money. Seriously, if you had any respect for yourself or your parents you would look to them and look for money, rather earn it and mod you car accordingly?

Lastly, Do not ever throw age as a factor or variable. That just fucking demeans us all. I personnaly bought my car when i was 16 well over 3 years ago with my own hard earned cash. Guess what kid, i didn't mod it... Did i bitch and look to mom and dad for cash? Absoletly not, why? Becuae its MY hobby, not theres. In all honestly, i would be disgusted if i looked to my car and knew my parents had bought my mods for me. What's the point? And well, ill level with you. You suck at life! I havent had a job since i was 17 and have a decent amount of money invested into my car, last i checke it was around 5k-6k or so.. So if you can't pull of your APC bumper, by flipping burgers all day well, yeah just DIE now...

So to reiterate; go fuck yourselves. Yes my car does have its share of battke scars, but i love that way.

Cliff notes; Darwinism has yet to bestow you...

I'm sorry if my hypothetical situation offended your way of life in some way. If you didn't understand from my post, it was an example. In fact for xmas I recieve cash because basically my parents understand they have no idea what I like. Now don't get me wrong, I don't ask for cash, they just really don't have time to buy gifts. Also I'd like to ask how you fund your project without an income and no help from others? I'm sure all the college students would like to know.

BTW the thread is WAYYY off topic lol

hahaha this is funny! I know this has gotten off topic, but i had to say something! The way i see it, if you dont ask and someone WANTS to help then by all means accept it!

I never ask my parents to buy me anything for my car, but the thing is, i have a really close relationship with them and they're genuinely interested in what i do. They see me working on my car all the time and know that im into motorsports in general. Matter of fact, on my birthday a few years ago, they surprised me with drift showoff tickets! I hadnt asked for them at all, but they knew i was into drifting. Did i turn the tickets down? HECK NO!! The three of us went and had a blast! My mom had more souveniers (sp?) than me and my dad together! And when it comes to parts, sometimes i think they're more into than me, especially my mom. I remember back when i had my usdm front bumper and i had just bought the lip for it and i asked her to come check it out. Her words were. "yeah it looks nice, but your car looks like a vacuum cleaner now. you need sideskirts." I was like WTF? "ummmm ok. well its gonna be a while for those cuz i gotta save up a little more." Her response is, "well, why dont i make a deal with you, i pay half and you help me out at school with my class and our school play. I need some body to run stage crew and costumes" . "Are you serious?" (im still shocked at this point) Her response - "ummmm YEAH (making fun of my first statement). You're a good kid. you deserve it" Me - "Sweet! You've got yourself a deal!"

I didnt ask for them, i wasnt even hinting at asking. But i'd be stupid to turn that offer down!

Anyways, what im saying is, yeah its not cool to ask your parents to spend their hard earned money on your hobby, but if they offer without you hinting around then whats the shame in accepting the gift?

Oh and to SilviaDriver, my parents actually know their parts. I had a conversation about diffs with my mom the other day and she knew what i was talking about. But not all parents are the same. I think i was just blessed with a weird set. But i love em' to death!

www.nardi-usa.com It may be trendy and hoping on the bandwagon but I'd go with a nardi classic. I had the 330 for a while and am now using a 360. The 330mm has a nicer response and sporty feel but its harder to turn the wheel, especially with no power steering. 360 is just as nice
