My parents never bought this car. They bought my first car. I've had a good job for at least 4 years and I've been saving up for a nice car

So you've had a good job since you were about 13-14 years old, paying rent or mortgage, utilities, car insurance, home owners insurance, property taxes, buying groceries, clothes, etc.?

I'm not bashing him (or you) at all. I think its great that you worked and saved up to buy a car, but its a bit disingenuous to say "my parents didn't buy it, I did". They deserve a lot of the credit too for making it possible for him/you to be able to live while you saved money.

And without his parents providing said obligations and his first car, he wouldn't have been able to save that money. Therefore, his parents did pay for the Boss, even if indirectly.

LOL
I know I sound bitter but when you come from a food stamp family and actually DID have to make it in the world with zero connections its hard not to find the rich kids that have life handed to them annoying.

Must have been nice to have 30k in trade in value from your 'starter' BMW handed to you. You really are a typical rich kid, I wasn't sure but thanks for proving it. Was your "job" working in your dad's friend's company making $25 an hour doing pretty much nothing? At least have the ***** to admit you have been handed everything.

All I can add is I wish that I could have had my Boss when I was younger (got mine at 47). But then again I probably would have killed myself or wrecked it!!! Congrats enjoy and be safe with it 12whiteBoss302!!!

Take it easy big guy! He's a kid, has time to mature and hopefully continues to be a contributing member of society and the Mustang community. Give him a chance, no need to be rude. Sorry you got your panties in a bunch over people that may have been born in a better situation than you were, but remember you should probably be older and wiser. This last post was not a good indicator.
He is 18 - not a kid. Time for a dose of the real world where people don't coddle you.

Very well said my friend. Be safe and enjoy that machine.

I just don't think that anything he posted warranted your disparaging remarks. In a group of people who share a common interest, and with no instigation that I could see, your comment is something I don't care to see. I hope to someday meet fellow Mustangers from this forum , but I could definitely do without those that kind of attitude. So really, I am not trying to coddle a "kid," I am trying to preserve a welcoming community that is a place for newbies that have questions, or simply want to meet others with the same interest. Also, I see an 18 y/o who claims he has been employed for 4 years and he reminds me of me. From what I can tell he doesn't wish to simply stay on he boob, he has been contributing. I don't any more details, but give strangers the benefit of the doubt, no matter how young they are. Wouldn't it be serendipitous if you one day worked for him? One of the lessons I learned in the Navy, you never know what twist of fate could land you in a position beneath the person you once berated.

Well I missed quite a bit :P I try to be on the forums as much as I can. I started work when I was 14 and now working for 2 jobs. I've also had a paper route when I was a kid for 6 years. And yes I can thank my parents for a lot of things, including buying my first car (Grand Am GT, fun little car!). I also don't spend my money on stupid/pointless things like drugs, alcohol, and going to Tim Hortons to get a crappy cup of coffee
