My Highschool had alot of preppy kids that had brand new eclipse's and celica's civics ect.........that there parents had bought for them . Then theres me an most of my "Redneck" Friends had old american cars that would blow the preppys cars away in a 1/4 mile hahahaha.....

My friend jake had a Olds 442 , tim with a 87 Iroc w/ 383 stroker on juice,
Josh with a 7X Ford 150 w/ 428 dropped in, My 83 Z28 w/ 383 stroker , Chuck with a Duster w 360, this is what we all had 5 years ago......


Most of the preppys have the same cars but the ones who dont all drive kia's and hyandi's now Mommy and Daddys money must have been nice But me and my friends didnt wave out money in their faces we just had burnout contest in the parkinglot and the smoke would blow in there direction .... ahhh the smell of BFG's roasting in the morning

I have a 95 XJ that my parents helped buy for me. We all went in on buying it. After the Jeep was bought, my dad said "anything else you want for your Jeep you have to pay for it." So I worked all summer to buy me a 4.5" lift kit, and 33x12.50R15 BFG Mud-Terrains. No its not the nicest or most expensive vehicle at my high school parking lot, but i wouldnt trade it for anything except for a lifted rubicon.

I don't understand why you can get upset or annoyed when someone else has a nicely modified vehicle and they don't use it the way YOU feel that they should. It's THEIRS, not yours.

who cares is they don't wheel? chances are, your trails are better off without them on it.

Inviting them to prove to you how well their expensive rides can perform against your junk makes you look ridiculous. when you fawk up your junk trying to one up them, you are screwed. when they fawk up their junk trying to prove something to you, their parents will fix or replace it.

green is a bad color for ya!

Mate listen to this guy hes hit the nail right on the head, you dont have to prove anything to these arseholes just go wheeling and be happy they're not on your trails. Lifes full of posers, here every suv is black and they all think the little jap crusers are tough but they dont realise the colour or number of cup holders dont mean jack shit. What matters is how you wheel . forget em go out get laid

Painfully obvious that you have never seen Phunk.
If I were driving the first time I saw her, I would have been halfway up a utility pole.
The fact that you thought she was a dude only reinforces how fawking cool the chick is.
That is all.

Over half of my class in high school had there cars bought for them by mommy and daddy. Some were pieces of crap hand-me0downs and others were brand new durangos, chevy pick ups, or grand cherokeess, even a few real nice hot rods. I don't think its right that they had all this given to them but I can't be mad at them for it. I'm pretty sure if any of us were offered brand new cars, we would take them too.

The thing that upsets me is how they treat the things that were given to them. Most of the kids drove these things like they were an 85 Pontiac sunbird winter beater and didn't give a crap about them. Tats exactly why I'm happy nothing has ever really been given to me.

Ever since I started working in 5th grade I've been buying nearly all my stuff and 99% of my expensive stuff. I learned how to save my money and got a kayak, a couple mountain bikes (last one cost me 1,100), my jeep, all my snowboard setups, and whole bunch of other stuff. The thing is, I know how much it takes to earn stuff and I take great care of everything I own.

Every once in a while my parents will give me something like a nice digital camera for my birthday last year or if my Jeep needs a lot of work all at once my dad will help me out a little with parts. Since I know what it takes to earn all this, even though I don't buy those few things, I take the best care of them that I possibly can because I understand what my parents did put into it.

Spoiled kids will grow up and have nothing later in life, kids that work and earn there stuff will know what it takes and get stuff done. When I have kids, they sure as hell are not going to be spoiled.

Must be nice to have mommy and daddy buy everything for you! But the down side is that those kids dont learn anything by it.

Exactly. It SEEMS nice at the time to have mommy and daddy buy everything for you, but in the long run it is not nice at all. Their parents are doing the kids a serious disservice, but the kids won't ever know it. They'll just grow up to be spoiled, selfish adults who think the world owes them everything, and they won't understand why it doesn't deliver.

To the original poster: be thankful that your parents aren't treating you as badly as those "rich kids" are being treated.

im not really jelous, just anoyed that they dont use what they have for what its made for.

Welcome to my college, bunch of acting tough farm and Jersey boys who bought their trucks built already or ahd mommy and daddy pay someone else to build it up for them and haven't seen anything more off-road then their gravel driveway. I just happen to be friends with the 3 kids at my school who have built rigs and actually use them, hell in the past month I've owned my XJ its probably seen more sand, mud, and water then those kids ever have combined. Don't be jealous, just park next to them one day after a nice romp in the mud, dripping and dirty and watch them freak out when some accidentally gets on their clean car.

Jersey boys

What's your definition of a Jersey boy?

your point is ? i dont really care if this guy(phunk) is male or female, good advice is good advice

I learned not to care what the rich kids drove and I'm learning not to care what anybody does with their vehicle. Whether they built and paid for it themselves or paid someone else or had their parents pay someone else matters not. Even vehicles I think are ugly and a waste of a good vehicle show the owners love for it. Not all people have the ability to work on their own stuff, be it due to time or money.I graduated 5 yrs ago and there was a guy with a 72 GMC, lifted with 42" Boggers under it, and a worked 427 under the hood. The thing was almost always sparkling. It was a beautiful truck. I don't know if he ever wheeled it, and I didn't care. It was gorgeous and he loved that truck a lot. I'd drool over it for a second on my way to my muddy, bright green 94 Geo Tracker, drive out to the wash and be perfectly happy with what I had.
On a side note, I've noticed that along with kids being greedier (demanding bigger and better from their parents etc), the non-rich kids are also whinier. Rich kids expect to have more and poor kids cry even more about what the rich kids have, had, will have, or think they should have. Kids are goin downhill, and that makes me sad because when I sy that I feel like an old man, yet I'm only 22...

my guess would be a boy from Jersey? :dunno:

 

[Lawn Cher']

my guess would be a boy from Jersey? :dunno:

I'm questioning the connotation behind the term. I'm from Jersey and I'm curious as to what he meant.

 

[MoochsXJ]

I did not mean anything bad by it, Its just a sterotype of the guys at my school from Jersey, and some from Long Island, guys who think they are tough, curse all the time, have to be the loudest most obnoxious person anywhere, attention craving, usually no-necked meat heads. I wasn't generalizng all of Jersey just the idiots at my school.

 

[ECKSJAY]

Sure glad I didn't give a flying rat's purple fawk about anyone I went to high school with.

I think our 10 year reunion was earlier this month. Meh, something about a casino and cost $150 per person. I wasn't paying attention.

 

[Rocketman]

But I payed for it. That was all that mattered. ... but all I get from my parents is a roof, and fridge to munch from.

Seems you got a work ethic as well.
Seems your parents did pretty well, consider yourself RICH in that regard!!!
