we had a kid with a brand new red Audi TT when they first came out. he drove a brand new Escalade when he got in trouble.

other cars I was jealous of at the time: new 330ci, new Subaru STi, new QX5 with $20k rims and JL audio sound system.

one of my close friends in high school got a new BMW when he turned 16. think it was a 325i, but i might be wrong. early 2000s. his family was/is quite well off.

in terms of sheer dollar amount, there were a several pick ups that were pretty expensive since they were lifted, chromed out, pipes, big tires...but i'm not sure i'd call that "nice". just expensive.

i'm sure there a are some that i'm not remembering, but the BMW comes to mind easily since i was friends with the guy.

the usual suspects. jag, benz, bmw, etc

7/21/2016 4:08:16 PM

students weren't allowed to have cars at my high school.

7/21/2016 4:18:58 PM

yeah usual suspects like TT10 mentioned, and one kid had a porsche. His dad started Cookout and dude's the CEO now. That said, for growing up wealthy, he was not an entitled douche.

7/21/2016 4:38:01 PM

What a douche question

there was a girl whose dad bought her a 911 after she rolled her geo tracker (nice upgrade, right?)

later min life, the family went bankrupt. who woulda guessed with such wise purchases

7/21/2016 9:31:32 PM

Hummer with TVs and PlayStation and some kind of Ferrari

7/21/2016 10:00:54 PM

Some Azn-American chick who had a brand new, fully loaded 4runner. She was an incredibly mean, entitled, and stuck-up person. She also had a very hard time talking about anything other than herself...like, she would literally get uncomfortable if the subject of the conversation wasn't about her or her life. She was very hard to be around for any significant amount of time.

7/21/2016 10:04:50 PM

i have no clue. i can remember i used to catch a ride home in a ford escort with one guy. another guy had an isuzu, but it was a cool one, with 2 doors and a hatch

[Edited on July 21, 2016 at 10:17 PM. Reason : isuzu guy like to play garth brooks on the tape deck]

None (nobody had cars in high school).

When I taught high school, 2 of my students (fraternal twins) had the latest brand spanking new fully loaded:

M5
911 Turbo

I had been to their home... they had a $100,000 (my guess) dedicated gym at home in a separate building by the pool (better than any small commercial gym, chock full of machines and free weights), plus a small "mini zoo", with a deer and a couple of small mammals.

The one with the 911 Turbo later became my student at university too, and one day he gave me a ride back home from campus in his car, 20+ mostly highway miles. He told me the car cost $160,000. (in 2010)

7/21/2016 10:27:26 PM

that one car that always had a smile on its face

he genuinely seemed like he cared every time I saw him *tears of joy ITT*

are you really 83?

'cause that's the only thing that would *almost* make that statement make any sense to me

7/22/2016 1:59:32 AM

I don't remember anyone having anything too nice.

One girl had a classic mustang she restored herself.

7/22/2016 2:07:38 AM

I am 93, check again... forgot to update my age for a while

7/22/2016 2:58:16 AM

a little variety -

brand new 2001 F350 crew cab, long bed dually, 4x4, diesel, lariat. $42k new (guy's a farmer)

7/22/2016 6:37:22 AM

Don't really remember. Never paid much attention to what was in the parking lot. Nothing really nice sticks out in my mind.

7/22/2016 6:59:01 AM

I think a relatively new 3 series BMW

I was most jealous of a ragged out G60 VW Corrado a guy had though, I still think they are cool to this day.

One kid at our school got a 500 SEL on his 16th birthday...his last name was Busch (yes that Busch)

7/22/2016 10:41:42 AM

Kurt Busch?

George Busch?

The nicest "cars" kids at my high school got were loaded trucks...mostly brand new Chevy Z71s with dual exhausts, brushguards, big-ass tires, etc. When you grow up in a rural area, kids don't get brand new luxury cars. Sometimes the doctors and lawyers kids would get used BMWs or Benzs...but I'm talking at least 5-6 year olds. The rich rednecks got tricked out trucks.

7/22/2016 11:10:19 AM

didn't care enough to notice then. still don't really care much now.

from my point of view, having an expensive car is a waste of money that could have been invested in something with a much better return.

then again I don't really like driving in general. i will be one of the first to get a car that drives itself.

7/22/2016 11:14:47 AM

Also, cars for teenagers is a terrible investment.

7/22/2016 11:39:39 AM

^+1

My 89' blue Volvo 240 had leather seats and a crank sunroof when I had it from 2002-2004. We used to hot box that thing all the time.

7/22/2016 11:41:32 AM

^^ mine turned out to be a wonderful investment

[Edited on July 22, 2016 at 11:56 AM. Reason : But cars are rarely investments...for teenagers or adults]

7/22/2016 11:56:04 AM

Range Rover, Lexus, BMW or loaded truck/SUV

7/22/2016 12:04:02 PM

Yeah I bought my own car in high school from a summer job.

7/22/2016 12:07:46 PM

This really rich girl had a brand new V-6 Mustang convertible. She could have at least gotten a V-8. Her dad ran a luxury used car dealership and then later got busted for embezzlement.

7/22/2016 1:35:01 PM

A maroon colored saturn to match the school's colors

7/22/2016 3:58:04 PM

I knew a guy with a Yukon, a girl with a Dodge Stealth, a guy with a 3000 GT, and another guy with a brand new Mustang. I heard his mom died on the operating table, so he bought the mustang and added some stuff to it. Then he sold it and bought a Mustang Cobra.

7/22/2016 6:19:39 PM

unless it was a 3000 GT VR4, GTFO!

My school was uniformly middle class, so nothing super fancy. The nicest one I can think of, very much an anomaly, was a kid in the class below mine who got a brand new Acura CL on his 16th birthday.

My favorite car at my high school was a red '70 Chevelle SS. Can't call it the nicest as he and his dad restored it in their garage, and it wasn't perfect, but it was badass.

7/23/2016 6:14:53 PM

I went to a magnet school so there were very rich people and fairly poor people at my school. I knew most of the very rich people and not a single one of them had a nice car. Their parents either made them buy a car or gave them a shitty starter car to learn values. I feel bad for all the kids getting spoiled out there.

7/23/2016 6:32:38 PM

What's wrong with Sanderson?

7/24/2016 12:49:25 PM

a kid had a brand new 911 c4s he bought for himself. he later replaced it with an f360

7/24/2016 8:35:34 PM

^^nothing haha, I just thought I knew the kid he was talking about. I did
