not really a race but some kid maybe 17 in some kind of kompressor 2 seator. not really sure what it was but sitting at a light take off normal when i get to 3rd he guns it so i drop it back to 2nd but cant catch up so i let off. no doubt it would have beat me no matter what but least my daddy didn't buy my car for me.

ok...........

whats funny about this is, that not everyone that have nice ass rides have the parents buy it. I know a kid who owns a nice ass 2000 or so m3 and he bought it himself when it was only like a yr old. he was just smart ass hell in highschool and has an extremely well paying job now because of it. .

NJHK

Exactly.

Even if his parents bought his car, he was blessed with parents that love him enough and who can actually afford to do good for their children.

Oh like if your parents offered you a Mercedez, you would turn it down...right...

tkaugh29

im one of those lucky kids! my parents to pay for my car...but they pay my insurance! its cuz im an only child. and yah its not like it your rents offered to payout your car you would refuse.

Moza13-

my rents paid for most of my car, granted i pay insurance gas and mods, but still they paid about 15 grand out of the 17 grand lol, cuz im a good kid, and cuz they bought my sister a 15k jeep liberty

You can also pick up used Mercedes at very reasonable prices. Especially the previous gen C class. So maybe this kid bought himself a used Benz.

my daddy didnt buy my car, and im only 19 financed it on my own and got the down payment with two years of lawn mowing money

ummm the funny part is the c230 kompressors (the one i think your talking about - 2 door) are not fast at all and even a stock ss/sc would walk it from a roll

I bought it on my own, never was fortunate enough to have a parent that could afford to buy me a car or pay my insurance. Went from a 86 tbird to a 04 ranger to my 06 balt ss. I live at home and pay rent to help my mom pay for us. Had I been offered a STI I would jump all over it.

loudestwine08

yes yes it would ,

whoops didnt see it was a 2 seater... wouldnt be a c230 hatchback but most likely a higher trim model

my dad has a an sl 600 and a cls 500 along with a 1990 jaguar and a chevy tahoe 2007

point being he has a lotta money and yet he didnt buy my car but i think thats important

since im paying for the balt i have a lot more respect for my ride. some people who get free

cars may not be total jerks but they definetly dont have the same respect for a car they had

to work for.

NJHK

That's not necessarily true.

My dad gave me my first car, 1990 Cavalier. I had a great understanding of the responsibility as far as gas and paying the insurance, so just cause you get something for free doesn't mean you don't have respect for the people who gave it to you or you want have the same feeling of appreciation for something.

1gmfanatik

Yes, but not everyone is like the great black hope. lol...There are plenty of youngins out there that will take advantage of their parents kindness and run with it. Some parents don't know how to instill maturity in their own children hence throwin money at them because they think it will make their kids love em more. I bought my first car with 400 bucks that I made baggin groceries at the Commissary, I beat the hell out that car too. Sold it for 500. lol

Mercedes makes a couple 2 seat 'verts, the SLK and the SL. It may have been the earlier model SLK - the SLK230 with the same S/C 4 cyl as the C230. And yes it's still no match for an SS/SC. If it was an SL55 though (S/C 5.4L V8) then no way in hell he'd have caught it.

Both those models have "Kompressor" badges.

NJHK

True and some aren't like that too.

Believe it or not, there are teenagers out there with some type of level of appreciation.

1gmfanatik

I will agree with that, I think it all stems from the parenting.

jtg_blk07ss

**** didnt realize me being pissed about getting beat by a douche in a mercedes would cause such a stir. oh well if he bought it his self then its one but ass ugly car. my guess its daddys car he prolly normally drives some other beater but was trying to impress the ladies. or to be honest looking at this guy he was trying to impress other guys and i dont mean car guys.

well did some research, car shouldnt be that fast and i take it back there not that expensive edmunds list used 00-03s ~ 25,000 oh well not the first time ive been beat by a "slower" car lol

mike02z28

You cant win them all.

chevysalesman614

my dad gave me my first car. a 1991 ford thunderbird V-6. it was $1,250 i think. i was very grateful. since then i returned the favor on a larger scale and bought him a 2005 pt cruiser turbo.

i'm sure if we were better off financially when i was in highschool he would have sprung for something a little better. it dosent matter if your parents bought your first car. this is what happens most of the time.
i only make fun of the people who are 30 and still live at home
i do, however, question the thinking power of those parents who are buying 14 second cars (or lower) for 16-17 yr old kids. most times that will be a bad situation... either alot of tickets, or worse.

NJHK

Jealous much?

And funny that the car costs the same as yours and he raped you.

People like you are sad. You want to race someone, he beats you and all of a sudden he's a douche? You don't even know the guy and you're making assumptions of his income, his family situation and how he got his car.

How old are you anyways cause you have some growing up to do.

IMADreamer

x2 man.

It's freaking sad that people have to be jealous because someone has a nicer car then them. That attitude will never get you ahead in life and you will always be unhappy with yourself if you envy others.

Red2.4SS/SC

thats exactly what i say, why reproduce if you cant buy your kids decent **** , i mean ill never have a kid unless i can give him all he needs and then some

jtg_blk07ss

i didnt want to race anybody read more. i lost my car is slow regardless of what car he drove he looked like a douche even if it was another cobalt he would still be a douche. sorry i pissed of the rich kids christ
