phil Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Clearly he's an idiot. He should save his money and buy a new brain. water meet screen.. fucking tilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 If the post he edited earlier in he thread is correct (and it may not be), I believe his son wants "a clapped out s-10". Either way, he should (in my opinion) save the money for a better car if he really wants a manual trans (you get what you pay for, and in a car, $500 won't go that far). You could try bribing him by telling him that you would be willing to throw some money down on a car that isn't a complete rolling turd.

Buck531 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 lol your kid wants a civic doesn't he? lol nope. Hell if it were a civic I might be up for that.. but it's not Edit - He also instantly thinks that getting a manual transmission will get him better gas mileage instantly.

KillJoy Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 He's a dumb kid. Let him BE a dumb kid. Offer a better suggestion and let him learn from his dumb youth. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 ...hey hes your son, you taught him..... I'm going to have to say no to that one Luap. It's his buddies who are persuading him to get the truck. He has this one friend who thinks he knows everything about cars. Hell, the kid is so smart he bought an electric supercharger for his Malibu. Yep. I didn't think most of you would understand as you don't have kids (or they're WAY not old enough to drive).. hence me not stating what he wanted to get. Hell. Maybe I'll sell all 3 of my cars and let him get the F-body that he was talking about getting the other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I got maybe $50, opened a bank account with it. Side note: I bought a set of VS-100 speakers with some of my college tuition funds and still have them. http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/sT4U1xs_mdM/hqdefault.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Cashed out every gift check and roll of quarters I had took my moms brand new smokin SUV and spent 10 days with my girlfriend at the time in Myrtle Beach in a hotel on the water. Fun, food, and ff... fun for a great trip. Just kept the cash in the glove box and took out what we needed at each moment. Probably one of the least reasonable spending experiences of my life but it was definitely a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I got $1000 total and spent it on a laptop and 1 book for college...got more for college and used that towards paying off my huge bills from my new house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I used the HS grad money to live on for the summer as I was playing Legion baseball everyday for two months. Had enough money to last until I got a job while in college. College grad money was about the same. The paid internship I had while in college ended right after graduation, so I used the grad money on living expenses until I started working two months later. I did use some of the college grad money on the cruise my wife and I went on, but not too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJdidit1738 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I spent every bit of money I got for graduation (only like $1200) towards the 393 windsor I put together, also towards a k member. Looking back on it now, greatest decision I made at that age lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Part of me says don't let your child make stupid mistakes. My sister did almost the same thing, She got a Old Alero for graduation and the trans went out. We put a new one in and it got a small coolant leak. Instead of having it fixed she sent the car to a junk yard for 500$ bought a 89 Taurus they blew up 1 month after getting it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hell back then $300 was what.. $1500 now? :gabe: Probably more. I'm sure I eventually used it on parts for the cark I just wanted to point out that Marc spent money on the Cark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryBMW Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Probably more. I just wanted to point out that Marc spent money on the Cark... Marc spent a lot of money on the Cark. I'm glad Kenny had it when he did but am PISSED that I couldn't get it back and finish it. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
