'93 coupe and '03 600RR paid for by myself.

car was much cheaper to buy than the bike (bike = 12G's)
however, the mods catch up and becomes a money pit.

i personally would never ask my parents to buy me a car or a bike. even as a gift, it wouldn't feel rite. i'd rather my parents spend the money on themselves and travel.

however, i don't see anything wrong with getting a car as a gift from parents though cuz i have some friends who had their civics given to them. so long as the parents have the money for it without screwing over their retirement...lol!

we're not all born with money coming out of our @$$ rite?

hahaha yeah thats my story. Even though I would rather pay myself.

First car was a 97 Corolla that parents bought for me/my sister, they paid for that, then my civic I payed about 30% of it. Parents pay my insurance.
