i dunno i guess i just dont understand why your complaining. at least your getting car. somethings better than nothing. be happy for what you have, remember that same homeless man would be thankful for a "rotten apple"just as long as he has something to eat. just because your "better than everyone else" doesnt mean you have to rub it in to their faces!!! i mean come on you are VERY immature and thats sad on YOUR part. I understand you want a certain kind of car but grow up and deal LIFE ISNT ALWAYS ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT!!!!!

Hmmmm.....to be honest. When I read your post about not getting those nice cars and having to drive your mom's car, I was a little taken back. I don't think that you are stuck up, but you sounded a little like it. Sometimes it's the way that people read it. You have to be careful how you type things. Like for instance. I could sound like a really big jerk right now but I don't know it. See what I mean? I'm just saying that you might sound a little bit more grateful for all of the really awesome things that you have. I didn't get my own car til I was eighteen and that was the old minivan.

to other people, it may look selfish and/or stuck up. but really it's your problem, so it means something to you. people shouldnt say things about it because what seems petty and selfish to them matters to you. does that make any sense? and i wouldnt even say you were complaining, just venting your frustration. so i guess the point of this is no, it wasnt any of those things. it could come off that way, but i dont think it did. hope everything works out with you getting a car.

It sounded on the spoiled/selfish side. Most 16 year olds get either their parents cars or cars that came out the the year they were born. My first car was an '88 Accord, then I moved to a '97 Altima, and now that I'm in college, I've got an '03 Focus that I am making payments on along with my parents. Be thankful for whatever you get.

i have to say, it did sound selfish. but you want what you want. but sometimes it's best not to talk about certain things in certain ways so that you dont offend someone. and maybe she shouldnt of said anything. but i read she wont, and then i read what YOU wrote to her, and i have to say, it was out of line. the best thing would to of not of said anything at all. but at it's good to see she appoligized.

i comprehend. i would rather prefer an altima over a 1986 piece of trash lancer anyday. but i just dont you think what me and michele mean that you should be thankful for what you get rather than complain about wanting something else. one day you might have that car that you want. but for right now. you just gotta settle for what you get. it's the complaining about wanting something else when you have something that other kids would love to have, is what makes you seem snobby and stuck up. comprende?

when I first read your post you did seem to be a bit ungrateful or something. Maybe a little spoiled as well. However I do understand that you were just ranting your frustrations about not getting the car you wanted. But as everyone else said, you shouldn't complain about not getting a car. At least your mom is willing to let you drive hers.

i pretty much wanted to smack you in the face and call you an ungreatful little jerk. most kids when they turn 16 get nothing. or have to buy a car themselves. or like most gets.. get the parents old, nasty car. i think the fact that you are getting a car that is way nicer than any of the cars your brothers have recieved, should be enough. and plus.. cars aren'tthat impresive. you have a car to take you places, and that's really all you need. i mean.. i understand wanting a nice car.. mine's nice, but i want a different one.. that's just human nature. but for your first one i just wouldn't be so anal. =)

All I can say is that since you're not buying a car you can go to fine arts. Quit avoiding Gus and do what you said you would! eesh... k?

How to put this? If I were to sculpt a man made entirely out of crap, he would not be so full of crap as you.

You ought not get so emotional in your posts. Your comments were reaking of rage. Other than that, most everyone else has said what I would say. Cheers.
