who actually pays for their celica??

[chrisle7220]

i was wondering who in this forum is actually paying for their celica?? my mom bought me my celica gt-s about a year ago, and also got me the trd kit, and i didnt have to pay for any of this. but i still want more!! she thinks everyone else is paying for their cars except me. i know in a way im a little spoiled, but its hard to believe when i see someone with a gt-s, with all sorts of mods on their cars. ya'll must have gotten some help, i think its hard to afford all that. what do you guys think?? are ya'll paying for your cars or not?? am i just a spoiled brat?? thanks!!

[nccelica]

i bought mine myself...and then it got wrecked

[LaW]

I'm 19, got my car a year ago, 6spd gt-s and I am paying for everything I have ever gotten for it. In my opinion i wouldn't be driving my car now if i did it over... all my money i make goes to my car right now... i do save about 300 a month but my car costs money. You lucky spoiled bastard. Of course its hard to afford it.... but there are some of us out there that pay their own way..... its people like you that make me sick and i seem to think you don't deserve it but oh well....

[PapiChuu]

im payin for mine, and yea your a spoiled brat

[chrisle7220]

well im trying to be a brat. i just didnt know ya'll actually paid for your car. i just see ya'll with gt-s, with a crap load of mods, and it makes me wonder where all their money comes. and i thought it came from the parents. my parents got me my gt-s and a few months later a trd kit. and about 1month ago i got a $900 system installed. and i just made my parents order me a injen cai. i guess now i understand how lucky i am. i guess you can call me a lucky bastard, but hey what do you want me to do. im not going to get a job and work my butt off, when i can get stuff for free. i mean if you could get stuff for free, i bet you'd do the same.

[wahili]

cant exactly be as of proud of a car purchased my mommy and daddy, nah mean : )

[Chris25NJ]

i'm paying for mine, and pay for my apartment too.

[TRD StreetRacing]

i'm paying for every single penny by my self. i think, every 1 that pays for their car by them self, appreciates the car 1000x more. Even the smallest thing such as changing my oil, putting my SS makes me luv my car so much more......that's just my theory

[chrisle7220]

dang, well what kinda jobs do ya'll have?? i sure dont think working at mc donalds would pay for all this.

[TRD StreetRacing]

i'm 20 and i'm a bookkeeper at grocery store......1/2 pay goes to car payment + insuerence:( ......but i love every moment i'm in my baby

[wahili]

computer programmer and mobile DJ.. i agree with TRD, every thing i do myself on the ride makes me love it more. just putting on bats redout kit made me love it more

[TRD StreetRacing]

:werd: i can't agree w/ u more

[chrisle7220]

ok well i guess it seems most of you are paying for your car. im only 17, i know thats not an excuse to not getting a job, but i just get stuff naturally. dont want to sound like a bit*h, but my parents are pretty darn wealthy, so it aint a problem for them when they go out and buy me stuff for the car. my dad ownz a '00 s500 benz and my mom has a '01 sl500.

[TRD StreetRacing]

what ever u do to ur car, just don't be one of those preppy asss ppl that think "my car is the **** and it's fast" and get smoke by a saturn(no offence);)

[nccelica]

eh.. maybe someday youll find out what the real world is like, hopefully it wont jackslap you, no offense...

i grew up in the low class, and when my mom remarried my stepdad, who could be considered upper class, nothing changed for me except my house, i still had to work, sitll had to pay for my car, still had to pay for insurance... i think being spoiled would be the worst thing to do... cus when that day comes that you have to make your own buck and its not given to you, youll wish you had learned earlier

[pluto]

Hey guys i pay a 400 car payment each month plus all the mods and stuff hey i only got 13k left to pay her off! YAHOO!


Tony

[chrisle7220]

naw im not like that. i dont race. a civic ex pulled up next to me once, started revving and i didnt race him. i really dont care too much about racing, i go for looks for then speed.

[Griffin]

I've bought/paid for every car I've ever owned. You are VERY lucky. Mind you instead of 7th gen mods I spend my money on alltrac parts ;)

Griffin

[chrisle7220]

well i do do very good in school. out of the 3500 kids in my school im in the top 15% which is real good. so maybe thats why they gave me what i have.

[RonGT]

IM not trying to brag whatsoever your saying your top 15% out of 3500 big ****ing deal? i was class valivactorian. (spell?) anyways, since i dont have to pay for college my dad bought me a 2k1 gt. he paid for everything and i just enjoed the ride. Well guess what? i got careless, with the car and didnt appreciate it. My dad is a very hard working man he put in 12-14 hours a day, 6 days a week. I got in a wreck and now i dont have a celica. Now i have a hyundai elantra gt. well guess what? im not mad at him for getting me a hyundai, rather i learned a very valuable lesson. Dont take things for granted. Appreciate what you get. Be respectful to your parents. I worked hard in high school in sports and academically. If i could have done it all over again, i wouldnt have taken things so carekessly and i have learned. i hope you do the same.

[baNanA_ryCe]

not me....
i'm top 5 percent...and i'm number like 20-30
so that's why i got my car from my rents

[kuno]

Ron, for being a Validictorian(i cant spell it either haha) you can't spell validictorian? haha just kinda funny im not flaming you.

anyway i say if chrisle7220 can get it all for free then why the hell not? I would.. but I would also get a real job and pay for even more things! hehe..

oh yeah, i pay $550 a month for my car...i need to make more money...

by saying this, you would almost be saying that your parents got help getting you your car

i was in the top 5% in my class, i got a k&n filtercharger for graduation, whoopty farkin doo...

i appreciated every minute of my celica, i think if i had not paid for it myself i wouldnt appreciate it like i do, thats why when i got in the wreck, when it hit me... standing there with my car in shambles in the middle of the road, i just sat down on the curb and my eyes started welling up. when you spend all of your *own* money on a car, baby it, take care of it, and modify it yourself, it just pains to see it get messed up. im willing ot bet if you got in a wreck and your car was messed up like mine, you might be hurt that you just lost your car, but you wouldnt care that much, it would be more of an inconvience, cus what did you lose?

money? no
time, effort, and sweat? no
ride to and from school? yes

im not being antagonistic, just telling you my opinion...

[TRD StreetRacing]

nccelica, i was reading about ur car acouple of days ago.....was it total'd?? if so, what does the future hold for u???

[nccelica]

still waiting to hear what insurance has determined.. as the insurance wheel turns...

[chrisle7220]

well as of right now i am the only child in the house, my older brother who is 20 and moved to austin is in college now and has a gt eclipse fully loaded. he also has some mods on his car which our mom bought. my mom just recently ordered a shine street kit for him which is like 1500-2000. for his 16yr old b-day he got a gst eclipse, but he blew the engine by too much boost or something. i never found out what really happened to the car, but about a week later my mom got him a 2000 gt eclipse. i guess since my bro gets spoiled, they do the same with me. he is graduating in one more year and he wants to get an is300. and im pretty darn sure he's gonna get that car too.

[Pump]

Okay, here's my deal. I just graduated from HS in the top 10%(missed 5% by like 3 spots) and earned 2 years of free college here locally. I plan on transfering outta town to a really good university after that.

I've been asking for a car (Matrix XRS) for awhile now, and my parents have agreed that by April 03 they'll buy it for me cause they know I earned it and deserve it. During HS i didn't work because my parents wanted me to concentrate on school. Knowing that my parents are going to buy me the car, i've started to work and plan on saving up my money for mods. So yes my parents are going to pay for my car, but i'm going to pay for my mods, maintanence and misc. things that i want.

[J2KGTS6]

I bought my car when i was 18, i'm 20 now. I paid for the car myself.. and i pay for insurance, registration, etc... i'll be honest my bf has helped me with my mods but i pay him back, i've paid for my alarm, exhaust, rims/tires, maintainence, etc...

[diduceme]

I pay for mine, but mine isnt a celica. 20 yr old student & paying for car myself.

[hollywood]

I pay for both my cars plus rent and all my other stuff. I have always had to work for my stuff. But i spos if mommy and daddy will buy there spoiled brat anything they want, i wood live it up to.

[LBCelica2KI]

This was my first car that was all me. My Civic the parentals paid for the car (High school grad/ birthday gift) but all the add ons were from my pocket. Nothing feels better then being able to reach a goal that you did by yourself and earned.

[Sups]

i didnt pay for mine. i'm a semi-spoiled brat since my parents bought me the car i wanted.. but i paid for all my mods so far

[RJAY]

I needed a car for school so my parent bought me my GTS. I paid $6000 for downpayment, the money I earned working last summer. They're paying for the rest. But I'm paying for all the mods I'm planning to get. They do expect me to buy them a big house in the future.

[Da Kine Guy]

Hahahahahahaah!!!!!! I love reading about this stuff!! Reminds me of playing soccer back in HS. Pre-season we used to play against the private school teams and boy was that fun. They come to the game in their nice ass new cars which none of them paid a dime for just to get their asses kicked by us....literally. We always played a much rougher game then they did. Sure, they could pass and all, but as soon as the ball left one of their feet BAM!!!!. On the floor biotch!! Fun as hell! I will always hated the idea of kids (big emphasis on that word) getting free $20+k cars, makes no sense to me. When you here the phrase, "kids today, they got no respect," this is contributing to that majorly. I especially like statements like this:

i just made my parents order me a injen cai

wtf is that all about? I bet you got a PS2, Gamecube, and XBOX as well on a 50" TV too.....in your room!! Hahaha, makes me laugh :rofl: I see your kind all the time "trying" to work, it's hilariously funny to watch the ignorance level on these kinda people. Granted, there are a few in the bunch that actually have the mental capacity to function in the "real" world, but many do not. Hahah, good HS grades. Lemme see, when was the last time my high school grades came into play......entering college, that's it. It's a great thing to put on a resume, but most people look for experience when going for a job.

Ever heard the term, "Trust fund kid"? Cause that's you in flying colors.

[Omni]

I pay for mine.. I'm 19 and after 1 year I only owe ~$8k (started off at $19k).. :)

[bxmart9]

I make my own car payments and insurance payments. I also pay rent. I'm 22 and bake bread at night for a local bakery. I have to work a lot of overtime to afford it all. I'm planning on going back to school and my parents will pay my insurance for me while I am in college to help me out. I think they are spoiling me just for doing that. But yeah you are really spoiled.

[bxmart9]

By the way my parents are wealthy as well. My dad has a lexus gs400 and my mom drives a rx300. They would never just buy me a car though. I have to work my ass off for my hobbies.

[jotan82]

you're spoiled...
consider yourself blest

[Zsolt67]

FAAKKIN BRATTS!!!!:whogives:

[RedNOSceli]

spoiled brat, I bought mine at 18, sold my 87 firebird for the downpayment and went to the dealer and got mine, im 20 now and still love this bitch

[XYRCNCP]

Married, 2 cars (00 Avalon, 00 Celica), working FT+, trying to finish college PT, paying bills, and still manage to buy my mods. I'm the opposite of you, while you feel proud that your parents buy you all this stuff, I feel proud when I pay my bills, pay my insurance, pay my car note, and pay my mods. Hopefully you will see the real world one day....

[slowmotion]

I pay for everything myself. I am 22 working in tech field and a junior in college. Bought my car in Jan 2001 and payoff on Nov 2001. This babies it all mines.

[Jesse IL]

This is about the most stupid thing I've heard since the girl whose parents put the down payment on her condo was suggesting that I buy instead of rent. This is the epitome of why "average" people hate rich people. The utterly naive attitude that they just think everyone just sucks off the teat that is their parents.

I paid for my car, every other car I've ever owned, and my motorcycle. Not to say my parents don't get me anything (they paid for about 70% of my college) but other than that if I want it I buy it. I graduated 12 out of 55 in May 2000 from Colorado State University with a degree in mechanical engineering. I'm an engineer and that's how I pay for all my stuff.

[J3adSeed]

so i guess if you do average in school you deserve a car huh. well i was 30-something in my class (top 5%), got a full scholarship, got more scholarships, am now full time in college, work about 30 hours a week, right now its summer and i'm working about 60 hours a week (2 jobs) and not in class. i pay for everything, my car, rent, insurance, mods, living. my parents don't have a lot of money so doing good in school doesn't mean ****, except that it was good enough to get to go to college on a scholarship.

and yeah you're spoiled. "i just made my parents order me a injen cai." heheheh.

thats alright. its not totally your fault, your parents are crazy for buying a 17 year old a gts. then paying for all the mods.

[J3adSeed]

i bet you didn't have to even go to the dealership to buy it huh? man thats a BITCH. dealerships are the biggest assholes and i'd rather get a root canal than have to buy another car. they're just jerks and they treated me like crap.

I am a floor supervisor at a MCDONALDS... So **** you



On another note my parents are wealthy as well. My parents had me get a job when i was 14 to appreciate working and paying for things myself. I graduated in the top 5% of my class while working a 40hr/week job in high school. Now I'm in college luckily being paid for by grants and i'm still working a lot to pay for things...... Welcome to the real world. Also Mcdonalds is not always a joke, I may not get paid a lot (11/hr) but once you get higher up as a store manager or something with bonuses and benefits they earn between 60-100g's a year in some cases..... fine by me (although I hate my job)

Get a ****ing job or something. I used to be friends with a rich kid that had **** handed to him, he got a cobra replica car, he has cart racing cars, new mustang cobra, bmw ...... This kid will never work.... I saw him work once and they wine and bitch and don't last one week at a real job. It is just pathetic.....

That's a WAYYY better step in the right direction. This way, you could have still bought your own car (although it would have been a much lesser vehicle than your gt-s) but instead your parents helped you upgrade the car YOU put your OWN $$ down that you worked for and saved. Hmmm, I put 6k down on my car...maybe I should have worked on my parents for some extra cash. %$#@! Anyway, you're still about 1000% better than Ms. Brat who started the post.

I'm Paying for my own college, my GT-S, my rent AND my son. I'm glad I never got help because I feel like I will never need to depend on anybody for anything. It's a good feeling, maybe Chrisle will have it someday in the future (way in the future I'm assuming).

[redlineGTS]

i put 10,000 down and now i'm still paying for it

[LaW]

btw I traded in a car that I paid for when i turned 16......... I got about 6k for it on the trade in and the celica cost 19k for a gts (I got a helluva deal) So my loan I am paying off was 13k..... I think after paying like double payments and getting the principal down I probably only owe like 8 or 6k..... Which thank god will be paid off next year :) I can''t wait.....

[AsIaN_HoNeYs_GTS]

I was 20 when I got my Celica, got a loan to build credit, etc. $445 a month (refianced) and pay for everything else myself that is 'Celica' related. It's all about independence and responsibilities.

It's about to be under my name once I get all the paperwork squared away. :wiggle:

[nyoneway]

I pay for my own car. Every penny of it.

I also pay for all my mods, insurance, and I pay rent to my parents.

[laz_10]

have u ever worked in ur life?
why get a gt-s when ur wealthy parents can afford to get u a tt supra or something close to that ?

[Saving4Celica]

People like this really piss me off.

Try earning your wheels asswipe :thumbdown

[chrisle7220]

well first of all, my parents would never buy me a used car. so the rx7 or supra is out of the question. they would have gotten me an is300, but they would only get me a car around 25k. they said maybe in another year or two, they'd get me an s2000.

[Saving4Celica]

I smell a troll, this is getting old.

I think this is just some jerk trying to get a rise out of everyone.

[pepsiman]

im spoiled like you~ my parents bought this car when i was 16(almost 17) now im 19.. i pay insurance n monthly payments.

[slowmotion]

I think you all need to stop flaming the kid. He just want to know who pay for the celica. Hey if you can get a car and all the stuff for free I bet everyone will take it.

[Saving4Celica]

Differance between accepting free stuff and accepting free stuff and sounding like a snot nose spoiled loser.

[Orion Pax]

****, I'm not going to lie. If I was offered free stuff, hell yeah I'd take it.

But I wouldn't be like Richy Rich here, bragging about my free stuff and belittling others efforts to pay for their ****.

I have paid every cent of my car and I have a job that really doesnt pay much! The only thing my dad did was put my car under his insurance and gave me $400 for my birthday to get rims. Other than that hes says "You bought it, now pay for it!"

[pmal]

Some people just have life a little too easy. I graduated from HS 6th in a class of 350, with a full scholarship to an in-state college. What did my parents give me? A hearty congratulations a help with college expenses.

And you know what? I was very thankful for it. If I wanted a car, I had to go out and earn it. There is no way you can fully appreciate anything unless you have to work for it.

I'm paying for my car myself, and what pathetically few mods I have, I payed for myself. Sure, I don't have anything spectacular, because I can't really afford it (beer costs money, damnit). But I still think I'm better off not living under daddy's wallet.

:werd:

I paid for my car myself and the few things I've done to it.

[chrisle7220]

well its good that all of ya'll are taking responsibilities on paying for your cars. this is just the way my parents are. everyones parents are different. my dad grew up in a very harsh neighborhood, buying his way through college, and his car. i guess he didnt want me to take the hard way through life, so he provided me and my bro with the essentials we needed and a lot more. but i do respect both my parents and appreciate them very much for everything they have given me. and if you think im a spoiled little brat, you should look at the cars some kids have here at my school.

[wickedpete]

Paying for my car $25,000
Paying for my house $215,000 (over life of mortgage)
Paying for my student loan $30,000
Paying credit card debt $5,000

Pride of ownership... pric... aaw, f*ck that.... will your mom pay for my sh!t??!!

I'll give ya that one. I live in a district with a lotta spoiled rich ass snobs. My sister goes to the highschool out here and told me about a dude who got a friggin' Viper for his 16th birthday. Well, guess what, turns out he crashed the damn thing and totalled it being a complete ignorant ass about the power he had under his foot and the small mental capacity of his cock ass brain. About 2 days after the crash, his folks bought him a brand spankin' new top 'o the line Firebird (WS6 i think, right?). Did he get punished for being such as ass and complete retard? No, he got a brand new ****ing Firebird. Makes me sick to even know that this story is ****ing true. The Viper is my all time fav car, and to see one wrecked by some punk ass small **** **** who makes a dude with down syndrome look like ****ing Einstein makes me seriously want to rip his head off and **** down his neck. He's lucky I never went to his high school, I'll tell you that much. I swear, if I ever see this ass trailing me while I'm driving like a UHAUL, my foot is gonna slip and hit the brakes....HARD!! Ok, end venting now.

[Jesse IL]

This whole thread is just making me think about how much I hate people. I mean, I want to be rich as much as the next guy. So then I can be rich and buy myself a hot wife since all the good looking ones are superficial like that. Then I can have some kids and try and teach them some good values. Then my kids can hate everyone they know becuase they are all spolied pieces of **** like the kid in the Viper story. Its like you just can't win in this country.

[Torn Prince]

My parents are paying for my car..... but i put some money down and plus paying for my insuarance and mods and the tickets i get....
