We all got cars as soon as we could drive. My parents made us a deal the advantage of which was only taken by me. Basically, if they buy the car, you pay for insurance, if you buy the car, they pay for insurance. My parents bought my sister a Geo Tracker, which died. They bought my older brother a 240sx that was in amazing condition (and an auto) for $2000, which was the most expensive car any of us received. My dad sold his boat to buy it (actually we had some serious bills to pay, which he paid with the boat proceeds, he had enough left over to buy my brother's car). My brother wrecked the car.
My first car was a Nissan Sentra two-door that had black paint that was also white and grey because it was peeling and oxidizing. The trunk leaked and it grew mold, so it smelled like a lake. When we bought it off my dad's friend for $500, it didn't have a muffler. I actually had to give my mom my first paycheck, from my first job in the parking lot so she could go pay for the car. I think the check was like $250. Even though I only paid for half the car, my parents agreed to pay my insurance. And they continued to do so when I bought an Alero (which I wrecked) and when I bought my 626. They paid insurance on the 626 until half way through college when I started paying it. My little brother has received my dad's hand-me-down 2009 corolla with 150k~ miles.

I'm not complaining as my sister and I were always allowed to use our parent's 2002 Ford Escape (V6 with more HP than the stock FRS :P) we just had to pay for gas but I definitely live in a more money than sense area....

You can anyways, I'll probably get the first word today as I pick up the GF from BART after work every Friday.

Boss just emailed me and asked if I would finish the other 70 tasks in my name today.
"Yeah, if I gave a shit." crossed my mind.
