Fuck that shit. Honey, not to be all over your nuts or anything but if A parent buys a kid a car like that they will never be able to appreciate anything later on in life. Thats just plain stupid of those parents. i wouldnt want my rents to buy me a car like that just because I wouldnt feel like it was mine. so fuck the parent buying brand new car shit.

i wasnt talking about the evo in particular, just people bashing others when it comes to their 'rents buying them a car period... no matter what kind of car that may be. everyone has their own pov's on this.. but one day, when im super duper rich, you bet ill buy my kids a nice ass car... if they deserve it.

fast car + just got a license is asking for problems.. i made the mistake of buying a slow car to start with and i regreted it at first when my car "sucked" because it was slow but then i worked more and bought another car that was actaully fast.. kept the old one as a beater... if i could go back and redo it i would do it the same way.. i KNOW if i had had the fast car to start with i would have wrecked it msot likely.. i learned how to drive responsibly with my "slow" car... and now i apply it to a nice one... when i was in high school i was one of the 1% or so of kids with sports cars who didn't total them.. i bet at least like 40 kids in my class totaled their cars the same year they got their license.. and over half of them were mommy's or daddy's z28, trans-am, mustang GT, etc... thisd one kid's dad bought him a LT1 camaro, he wrecked it 6 months later and his parents bought him a prelude. he then wrecked that and his parents bought him ANOTHER LT1 camaro.. this kid maybe had a GPA of 1.0, glad he earned it 
some kids parents need to be shot... but you can't judge that just by seeing a kid in a car.. now if the bish was weaving and driving recklessly i would have said you should have gotten out and beaten the fuck out of him for endangering a nice car

that's what i'm pissed about - parents who buy a brand new, sports/high-performance car the day their kid turns 16... just asking for trouble, it's like they really trust their kid not to race the hell out of it.

my dad runs into good deals on cars and since he owns a tire store he gets good deals on rims and tires too...you think if my parents said hey here's a new car or my dad said hey i ran into some nice rims you want them? id say nah its cool ill buy my own...no

Alot of parents do make their kids work for what they give them. You also have to understand that rich parents do expect alot from their children, too. How many of you are expected to make it into Harvard, Yale, MIT, Caltech, or Cornell? If you came from public school, probably only a few.
It's like I said... jealousy sucks. Accept that people are better off than you. Parents don't have to be hard asses to teach kids how to live. Accept the fact that your parents didn't want to waste thousands of dollars on your first car... and accept the fact that they justify it to you and themselves as teaching you a "life lesson." If you're never gonna be rich, it's probably a great lesson to learn.
But some people don't need to learn that lesson. So rich people can buy a lambo, wreck it, and buy another. They can buy their kids new evolutions every week if they wanted. They can live in huge houses with all the extras. That doesn't mean rich people don't live in reality... it's just a far different reality than a broke man's reality. And I can guarantee that their children will be prepared to take over and run their family's businesses and manage their lifestyles appropriately when the time comes.
And about the car... I have a wrx, and it's MUCH safer than my first (sub 200hp) maxima... even in it's current high 12sec state. I'd give my kids an evo or sti over any 2wd car any day.
