Man, why are so many people vilifying this guy because his parents are helping him out with a seventeen thousand dollar car? My parents paid for three quarters of my current car, an Audi A3, and we are by no means rich. I live in Liverpool, which is south-western Sydney (the aussies will get the point). My degree is 100% on loan, I work 25-30 hours a week to keep up with expenses...I have to travel 40km each way for Uni and work, hence it was my parents way of consoling me for the relatively long travel. That and I got a pretty good UAI (basically the overall mark that gets you into uni). I see people on provisional licenses at my uni driving brand new Golf R32s, 3 series beamers...a dude I know just turned 21 (still at uni) and got an R34 GTR.
I'm surprised a fucking family saloon, a used Nissan at that, is causing this reaction. Surprise surprise but some people (or their parents) can afford 20K first cars. Doesn't make them 'fucking rich'. Grow up.
