I don't have a problem with people getting a decent car on behalf of their parents. Hell I got my '01 GP GT as my first car and I didn't pay a red cent. Well, except for anything I wanted to do to it aftermarket wise.
I have a problem with someone getting an incredibly expensive car or with too much HP to respect. When I sold the car, my parents got the cash. So pretty much I was borrowing the car.
Both my '00 GP GTP and my '09 G8 GT are paid for by me, everything. I'm about ready to pay of the GTP no less. I am a fan of hard work, I don't like things being given to me.
I loved it when a spoiled rich kid got a brand new Jag at my old HS, broke down a week later.
