i borrowed $700 from my grandmother to buy my first car (my fiero). i had no way to get to and from a job without a vehicle. dont bulls**t me and say "take the bus." doesnt work where i live. bus runs every hour, doesnt run most of the day on weekends, stops running at 9. not practical.

she doesnt expect me to pay her back, but i will. i always pay people back.

it is hard for me to believe the video is real... i mean, if someone bought me a car and said something like "you can beat it up, you dont have to worry about it" id be like HELL YEAH lol, no need to worry about bi**hing when it gets dented and whatnot


WOOT, i own another page

No surprise. This is the same kid who became famous by freaking out after his mom canceled his World of Warcraft account.

This stuff is so sad.

My parents bought me my first car in 1994 when I was 18 so I could get a job. (lived far from town) I had to pay them back.
It was a $500 1986 Chevy Chevette. It was beat, but it allowed me to get a full-time job which allowed me to pay my parents & fix the car up. I sold it 4 months after for $850. I was then able to find a good used car... Thats the only time my parents have had to help me out financially.
I have friends to this day that rely on their parents to help them out when they need help paying a bill or cant afford some luxuries that they have no right having. I guess its all in how you were brought up.
I had to work for what I have & I wouldn't have it any other way.
Thank you Mom & Dad!

Why did he strip down and try to shove a remote up his butt?

yup. was more of a "hand me down", than going out and buying me a car - but - yes - I did not buy my first vehicle.

I had already proven my responsibility thru haveing been making money since 13 yrs old, and saving money, had my own phone line, and buying my own stereo system & computer. yay TRS-80! was a big deal back then.

and, I did buy my Daughter her first car too. tho - I often 2nd guess this choice....

My grandfather actually paid for my first car, but I paid him back after making money at the job I needed to drive the car to.

As for the videos I'm not sure which is worse, actually having spent the time watching the obviously set up dramas, or seeing that people actually think they are real....

My first car I bought was an 88 Fiero 4 cyl auto in 1993.

My parents never bought me a car. I was allowed to drive their cars until I could buy one, but it was still their car. They didn't even help me with the purchase of the car. They did pay the insurance for the first year, though.

That kid is a superficial, ungrateful, punk.
My opinion.

upon further thought and a closer look:
The setting seems staged. The act seems staged.
Why did he only hit the metal parts and not the glass?

My first car was a hand me down. I was given my grandmother's car since she had passed a year before I could drive, it was just an extra car sitting around.

My father pay for half of my Fiero which was my second car.I wasn't looking for a car but he found it and decided split a nicer car than a 1988 Chevyt Celebrity.

Long story, short version - empty promises to restore a classic (grandparents, mind you - if my dad had made that commitment he would've stuck to it).... Unfulfilled.

Then I found my Fiero, paid cash. It was all me, man.

Ok. Here is the full story on my volvo. My mom and I went to a grand opening of a new store that also sold used cars. They were having a raffle for a used volvo 240. Guess who won. My mom. She did not want the car so i bought the ticket off her for 10 bucks and paid 88 dollars in transfer fees. This car looked new and ran great.....for about 30 miles. I got my first tow that day too.

Wow. I finally got a chance to watch the first video. Is that a scripted play? If not, I lose all hope in society. "My parents bought me a car, so the only logical thing to do is hate them"(...?). I cant understand that logic. Yes, the truck LOOKED a bit ugly, but a $100 paint job at Maaco would do the trick.

if this is all real someone needs to get him help instead of finding it funny to tape. I am more scared thinging He has a License.

I got my first car in 1982. It was my Grandma's 57 Chevy. (She was the original owner.) All original, to include the rust and chipped paint and ripped up interior and dent in the door and rear quarter panel. She gave me a driveable car that was beat up. I smiled ear to ear for the next year I spent restoring the interior and part of the exterior. That was the best present I ever got!

dont assume they are fake due to their unbelievability. i personally know people just like the boy in those videos (granted they arent totally loaded with cash shooting out their a$$es). im not saying i think they are real or fake, tho. due to what my reaction would be to the situation, i cannot believe someone would be like that..so that tells me its fake. that is a foolish reason. the fact that i KNOW people who are just like that boy, tells me it could be real. a less foolish reason, but still has no grounding.

Every week from when I was 6 until I was 16 my parents would basically give me "my age" in allowance (when I was 7 I got $7, 10 I got $10 etc.). The catch was that I could only spend $5 of it, while the rest went into savings. By the time I was 16 (and when you add a few savings bonds, CD's, portions of birthday money, etc) I had $3000 saved up, which I used to buy my Fiero.

Also, an interview with the mom says the videos are staged....

My grandparents raised me but they where like my real parents.
They helped me with my first car well truck actually 76 Ford SWB pickup.
And I still have it 25 years later.I will give it to my son or daughter some day.

I turned 16 in 2003, when I was given a hand-me-down 2000 Chevy Prizm. I drove that until June of 2006, when I inherited my mother's 2003 Land Rover Freelander. I took over the rest of the loan (I wrote her a check every month) for 8 months, when I was forced to trade it in on a 2003 Subaru Forester, which my parents took care of financially. So I suppose the answer is for the most part, no. I've never purchased my own daily driver. I feel like I'm the only one here.

My Fiero, on the other hand, all 3 million pennies were mine.

My mom bought me a $300 '83 Mazda 626, complete with 3/4" thick bondo all over the place that wasn't sanded down. It was probably the ugliest car within a 20 mile radius, but to me, it was a gem. I LOVED that car, 5-speed, power moonroof, total sweetness. There's nothing like the thrill of your first car.

It's 6 A.M. and I'm up because I have a show today. How about you? Oh, wait...that's right....you don't have a Fiero that runs under its own power, do you?

I gotta a new daily driver. Its mid engine and puts out more power than a duke and weights 400 pounds .

that was my very first thought lol

They did buy my first car, it was a 1979 Pontiac Grand LeMans with a 305 V8. Cost $500 and looked like it. Lasted about 1 year before the tranny went out on it. I kept it another couple of years and rebuilt the tranny, but it never ran like it did before and so it went to the junkyard.
