It's really sad how commercial the world has become. I no longer celebrate any holidays because of this fact. In 2007 I was sitting at my Christmas tree, watching my Nephew open presents. Once he was done, he looked at my brother and said "Is that all of them?". I was totally disgusted. I was shocked that this is how the world has become.

Kids today, bitch, cry, and moan until their parents buy them the best of everything they way. They don't understand what it's like to earn things for themselves. I had a similar story where some kid had just gotten a Dodge Viper at my school which his parents had paid for. Meanwhile I had just purchased a 1991 Nissan 180SX (Same thing as a 240, imported from Japan.) and they asked me why my car was 15 years old. None of them even knew in Canada you can't import it, if it's not 15+ years old.

The kids, had no idea I saved the $21K to import it, buy it and insure it for a year. They naturally assumed cause they have everything handed to them, I did too. I've been working 40+ hours a week, since I was 13. I haven't asked for a single hand out. Now sure, I understand your parents purchased the car for you, I'm fine with that for one reason. You admitted it wasn't even close to the top end model, and you didn't care. You liked it the way it was. Afterwards, while buying the truck, you took what you had and got what you could. You didn't bitch and cry that it was older etc. That's respectable. It shows you appreciate what you get.

Just my random thoughts on the subject.


Oh, and he totaled the Viper about 4 months later at the track. After he lost to me by over 2 seconds and I didn't even run juice.


Edit:


You also have to remember, and sure this is generalizing and stereotyping but whatever. 90% of the kids who trolled you about anything throughout high school, are the kids won't achieve anything in life, and will walk through it being a sponge.
