Well my parents helped, no doubt, just not financially. I had been saving for school since I was 12, had an assload in dividend-paying stock... then, when I was 18, my parents were like "hahaha, you're school is pretty much paid for" -- I bought the corvette like, a month later. --- So wait, they did help me financially, just indirectly. Now, if they paid for my school, AND my car... sweet jeebus, my A4 would be the fastest around :P Take the 18K I spent on the car (cdn dollars, after tax) and dump that into mods... yeah... it'd be peppy.

I'm still waiting for one of my little stocks to triple... I have a good feeling about it! Then I'll be free as a bird, financially. Course school is still socially crippling. -- well, its sort of the opposite, but doesnt always feel that way, thanks to exams and what-not.

Haha, I have a passion for bikes as well, of the pedal variety though. Still, they are a couple grand each -- have 2 right now, one for road one for mountain.

I'd have a crotch rocket right now, if it werent for insurance -- they wanted more to insure a bike (that can only be used 7 months a year up here) than to insure my corvette. AAAAAND you have to insure the bike all year round... even though they know the bike will be stored 5 months a year. You can suspend coverage on a car over winter, but not a bike. UH HUH.

Plus, when you crash a bike bad enough to claim it on insurance -- there's probably nobody around to pay.

all cars/bikes are put into class brackets. all insurance companies look at the same chart

I paid for my first car, 97 jetta, then my grandparents said if i gave that my sister they would buy me an audi for my 18th, 19th 20, th and hs grad present, so yea the jetta was worth prolly 7k, and my audi was 11 so I paid for about 3/4 of it...btw my sister proceded to drive jenn (my jetta) into the back of a big yellow school bus full of kids that were older then here[:@]

Oh yea I pay for all mods and gas, and my parents pay my insurance
