Hahha no doubt. I'd have kicked and screamed for a silver M3 if my parents had the means

My parents bought my car for me. They offered, honestly. My dad actually had been pushing me to buy an Impreza Wagon for a long time. He is a long wagon fan, and was always telling me how I could go up to Tahoe in it with AWD, and always have plenty of room with whatever I wanted to do.

When he saw WRXs, he told me about them. At that point I was driving his old 92 Maxima, which was an awesome car and I would still have no problem driving today. I constantly asked them, "Are you sure you guys want to do this?" And they did, they wanted me in safe, reliable car, that I could keep/enjoy for a long time. My grandma offered to pay $5000 down and my parents matched her. It's paid off this month and is in my name now.

I live at home still, so no rent to worry about. I pay for food at my girlfriend's cause I eat there a lot, and all my other bills. I'm 19 and have had my WRX since I was 17.
