Default "Did your parents buy you that?"

Some of the younger guys/girls I'm sure have been asked this or received that "look" before.

Just had to complain about it I suppose.

Also, does it ____ you off when kiddies get handed nice things? (Hogan and his supra for one)

Oh, lol, should've added that, Nope, I traded in my '97 Astro van from highschool for my tC. Which only paid for the taxes on it, which sucks but oh well.

So how does the tC compare to the sweet van you traded?

Oh wow, dont even get me started. The astro was fun, but the tC...yeah. The only two things I really miss about my van -

cargo space - went to costco in the tC the first week I owned it, with g/f and my mom, g/f had to sit with a giant thing of toilet paper and fruit next to her in the backseat. I definantly overshopped.

Peice-o-____-iness - the technical term for: I can do whatever I want and I dont care. When I go to wal-mart in the tc, I'm afraid of carts, back in the astro-days, I could hit a cart in the parking lot to move it and watch the looks of horror made by all the customers.

See now thats Legit. I'm sure everyone on this site who actually did get it from their mom and dad arent driving it around like an idiot. Its the ones who arent on this site that have tCs that got it handed to them and are driving around like its a chevy astro.

well the last thing my mom ever bought me was a pair of Nike basketball shoes in my sophomore year of high school. I know what it's like to grow up with money but never have good presents under the X-Mas tree, weird but that was my childhood....I moved out when I turned 16 lol,

so no my parents didn't and don't buy me **** and I do get defensive when someone calls me spoiled, if they only knew.... I'm not bitter about it, just buy whatever I want now, lol.
