Were you ever hated in HS because of your car?

I'll fully admit at one point in my life I was spoiled...my dad bought my first car for me and if I could go back I probably would've just kept that. Instead I've wasted thousands upon thousands...but hopefully I'll be able to look back and remember the fun I had.

I was still riding the bus in HS. Bunch of kids in my HS had parents buy their own sweet rides. I was jealous but never held it against anyone based solely on that fact. It was only bad when kids would act better than others based on what their parents bought them. Shameful. These kids aren't doing so well for themselves now, I think.

Hmm, look how I turned out...

My first car was a hand me down Lebaron from my cousin. Then I got a VW Golf which i drove for 5 and a half years. It was an awesome car, the interior was great.

And now with an S2000, I am glad I waited until after graduating college. I get much more respect from people at work (instead of having to deal with jerks in high school.)

Had a 1987 420SEL, 1997 528i and a 1990 535i 5-speed. Not all at the same time. Occasionally I drove one of my parents cars. Moms Jag XJ8, or dads 850i or SL500.

Not only do you get respect when you're buying a car yourself, but you HAVE much more respect for that car. My first car was awesome and I enjoyed it, but until I was paying $400 a month I didn't really use it to the fullest...if you're paying for something you have to love it for everything it is.
