Should you get a car on your 16th birthday?

Featured Replies

I was just wondering what everyone thinks about this. If your family has a enough money, should you get one? Should you have to buy it yourself? Should you have to pay the insurance, gas, etc.? Just interested in what you guys think.

Just tell my parents that you should get your son one for his 16th. :)

Sure you should, if you can afford to pay the gas, insurance and car note.

f*** no.

 

Back in my day, there were no fat people. We had to walk everywhere.

Did you have to walk 15 miles in the freezing cold during a blizzard to get to school? :P

I never took a bus to school that's for sure.

You walked 10 miles to school? 15 miles to work?

 

I got a car for my 16th birthday only because my grandma got a new truck and gave me her old one. I have to pay all insurance and all gas. My parents, although certainly able to afford a car for me, have not paid a dime towards anything for it.

should they get a new car....no.

 

should they get a used car....up to parents.

 

i got a used car but i also got a job to pay for it...according to dad...i didn't get one without the other!!

Don't forget Cheat is an avid cyclist.

I informally had a car before I turned 16 but it was pretty much known that it was mine. No, with it being a f***ing 8-cylinder gas-guzzling Lincoln, I will probably sell it and get a Mazda 626 that some lady my dad knows is selling for prettuy cheap. As soon as I get a job, most likely soon and at Burger King, I will be paying for gas and insurance.

Don't do it. Eating s*** for 5 hours > working at fast food

You shouldn't get one. You should have to earn a used car.

I'm just under 3K on the bike so far this year, with about 2,400 on the Truck.

 

For the year, I'll probably end up with a little under 4K on the bike, but about 4,500 on the truck.

I worked for a little fast-food restaurant near my block earlier this year and it was fun. I worked with all of my friends. Time of my life. I'll work at Burger King, right next to 2 of my friends who work at KFc and across from my fest friend who works at McDonalds. We meet up after work and chill. Good times...

BILLY MADISON! I think, it's an Adam Sandler movie. Also, that line is in Jesus Walks.

I work with all my friends at DQ, but it still sucks balls. I make all the food on the grill and its so f***ing greasy. Plus, the pay sucks because the boss is a cheap ass.

I knew it was Adam Sandler. :(
