Sigh, some spoiled kids today. rant

I run my 2 youngest kids to school almost every morning in the duster, they always tell me stories that the other kids love the car and they are only in elementary school. I have dropped off my 6th grader off at school a couple of times, and you'd think I drive an exotic with the attention it gets. I guess maybe it IS an exotic to them :lol: My kids like to count how many times I get a thumbs up or nice car or honked at while riding with me :)

I went to a "private" high school so there were some kids that had some new cars but not over the top. Most were newer cars than older ones in the lot, but for some reason we always ended up taking my 75 duster out on the town because it was "cooler" than most. Paid for out of my own pocket and when I tore it up, I paid to fix it. Made me quit tearing it up real quick after a couple of sets of tires and a blown rear end. I even walked home after it stranded me one time, never really even thought about calling my parents, my car, my problem.
I suppose it's relative, if you make a lot of money, spending 15k on a car isn't really spoiling them, but in MY house that aint the way it is. Regardless of how expensive it is, there definitely has to be some sort of work involved for them to earn it ( to understand the value of the thing ).
