Haha, I think the jetta's can be fairly feminine... but there are some awesome ones out there. the 2003 or 2004 GLI is amazing. Course, its priced close to an effin a4 I think, but it is a hot looking car. BBS 18's, sweet interior the 180hp 1.8T, and a 6 spd I believe. It owns.

The issue, is that he thinks he bought the car himself. Nobody gets 10+ grand in allowance and b-day money, by the time they are 16. You should be thanking your parents, they did pay for your car.
And yes, I think at 16, it makes sense to drive whatever car you can afford, even if its a 15 year old honda... then you work your *** off, save up, and earn a better car. It is healthy to have goals, that lead to accomplishment.

Yeah, I bought my car myself minus the fact my mom gave me her old car, which I sold for $1800. Picked up my car at auction for about 10.5 grand (after tips to the guys who found it), and since last June, have dumped about 5 grand into it. But, I work like crazy, as much as 35 hrs a week with school and straight As, and I just recently quit my third job, so I'm down to just two.

RE: who paid for you car?
i wish my mommy and daddy had paid for any of my cars...the domestic that i drag race, i paid for it, but my dad is an old race mechanic, so he, of course, did most of the hard work...he has 40 years of exeprience over me, but i carry the checkbook with me at the track...however, my brother has bought me parts for my birthday...but as for my DD and my truck, i paid for them 100%....

RE: who paid for you car?
The first car I drove was my parents, but I paid for my own insurance and gas. Then I sold my soul to the Air Force and Uncle Sam in 2000. Bought my first car for $400. 1987 Honda Accord LXi (yeah, I know it's a Honda, but it went from A to B which was the bottom line). As soon as I got my signing bonus, I bought a 90 Pathfinder, which I still have for when the snow gets too deep for my A4. When I got promoted, I got my 00 A4.
