Enjoy.

 

good one

 

That'll be my daughter in a couple of years

 

She seems nice.

 

will she want a blue one also?

 

She'll want an S

 

That IS my daughter!!!!

 

The premise of the ad may be funny, but I knew too many people as I was growing up exactly like that. I don’t find spoiled rotten kids funny at all and I’m happy my 15 year old daughter will appreciate any color car we, the ex and I help her buy, when it’s time for her to have her own transportation.

She made the comment once that she wanted my MCS when I get a new one. Well no way sweetie, I’m keeping this one forever.

BTW she has over 4K saved to put towards her own car and the ex and I said we will kick in to make sure it is decant reliable transportation and I’m just glad the ex has to carry her on her own insurance and not me.

 

Good thing I don't even have kids!

When I was 18, My dad got a 8 years old Dodge minivan for me. I didn't care, I was happy that I have a car. 18 years old young man drives a minivan... sure, that's chick magnet.

 

When I was 16, I got a blue moped... but, I did get to go to France to pick it up! I also drove a '66 Mustang, and I have to say, the MINI is everything the Mustang never was...

 

Thats why at my old age of 27 im not even considering having kids, i see how much happier my friends w/o kids are compared to my friends with kids.
Its a no brainer to me

 

Parents getting their kids a car? My parents didn't read that chapter of the parenting manual.

 

I don't find it funny either and that ad has been on TV ... old ad

 

*** that sh..... poop in the butt right now....

If there is such a chapter, maybe more parents should skip it, but, to each there own, JMHO

Edit: appearantly I used a " highly derogatory term for a Japanese person" as the first word, that's not as it was intended at all, had to look it up to know why it got ***?

 

Haha same here dude. I had to save up every dime to pay for my mini. I work full time doing 19+ units per simester for school. I live in a mid income city and alot of the people actually do get brand new car's for their kids. Its a crime. Im GLAD that my parents didnt help me out because I learned to respect what I had bought. No disrespect to any guys that did have a lil help

 

Didn't own my first car until I was 19, and in the USAF. Bought my MGB.

Somehow, it seems to become expected by kids that their parents will buy them a car. At least that's my perception.

 

I have the blue one, but she can't have it....lol

 

Not in my family. My kids have bought their own cars. They all paid around $1500 for their first car. Used junkers that gave them all around six years of loyal service. They LOVED those cars. Cleaned them up and fixed them up and loved them. They all have fond memories of them. AND when they all went to trade up they all got as much as they originally paid for the cars or more than they paid for them in the first place.

But you are right, many kids expect mom and dad to buy the first car and I don't think they appreciate them half as much as the ones kids work for.

 

Whew - that took me a minute. My first thought was "why does his 15 y.o. daughter have an ex that is going to help her buy a car??"


<old curmudgeon story>
My mom wouldn't let me buy my own car until I turned 18 (and that was probably a good thing.)


This ad kind of goes in the 'it would be funny if it wasn't true' category...

 

Yup...and I have a blue one, too.

 

I saw that ad months ago on TV. But it was slightly different.

I think it is funny.

 

Pretty much aimed right at MTV's "Super Sweet Sixteen"

 

Of the dealers that I have worked for, Honda probably had the most sales to parents buying cars for their teenage daughters. At BMW, I overheard a young girl complaining about the 330i that daddy was signing for when she saw an M3 in the shop, guess what? She got the M3 instead. My daughter is only 6 now, but she is already developing a sense of pride in owning the things she's has to work for. You just have to start them young

love to hear that!!!!

 

The ad was funny is you like ads that feature want-to-be Paris Hiltons.
