It is reasonable and understandable to feel proud for your parents success, and nothing wrong to share their wealth since you are their children. But I hope you are only joking of telling some strangers about your parents address, because....it is very very dumb. Bragging about your family's annual income on the internet is no good in my opinion. In this country, there are more than enough ultra-rich people, I know an indian who owns several motels making millions of dollars a year also, and he can simply pay cash to buy off another huge motel that is worth a few million dollars itself so his relatives could take care of it for him. You wouldn't know how rich he is simply by looking at what he drives and where he lives, these "transparent" wealthy people are good in hiding.

16 - s - w - m

going to see an IS250 AWD in an hour.
difference on insurance between this and subaru more than pays the difference, so shut up.
Trading in my month old scandinavian lemon, and likely getting job at dealer solely for the 10% off invoice

paid for by years of saving and forum crawling so much the dealer simply wants me out!

I'm not doubting..just incredibly curious

I'll turn 19 in a few months..I hate saying I'm 18 with a 350...and my parents bought this car for me. I'm very fortunate to be driving this car and having a blast doing it...but the dirty looks on the road or attempted key jobbers don't help.

employee discount? 28,900 for 250 AWD with Nav/ML
I am torn between trading my s40 t5 awd on it or not, same $$, same feats, will the Lex logo get me into trouble, knowing that driving an RX400h into my p.l. has been keyed.

19/male/is350 fully loaded...

my old car took too much to fix... got 2500 trade-in... parents were gonna get me a car the year before for 18th-bday but my dad got an x5 instead... they would rather have me in a 40k car that would last years rather than a used one that may/may not last... btw... i am very grateful of my car... and am proud to drive it... clean it like twice a week... and like ZOOBS350 said, i get those looks on the road too... but then i just step on the gas and let them eat my dust. =)
