So anyways I have my range rover which I absolutely love it's a great vehicle feels so safe, but I wanted a vehicle not so "pretentious" to say soooooo I got a Honda civic, I still have my range rover but I will only really use it when it's bad weather just because I know it more. But I'm really happy my parents let me get a Honda civic, I was actually in shock when they said if that's one of my presents for my birthday then they would get it for me. The vehicle is really nice I like it a lot, it's not as quiet but hey I have to say its been like a while since I drove a car being in my range rover and being higher up it feels weird driving A car again lol. Anyone else have a new Honda civic? Any tips or warnings? Sorry I'm just happy I thought people would be glad to hear in not driving a Mercedes or a range rover anymore (as much) and that I have a normal car! I did it haha in proud because I used to think "I would never not drive European luxury" and "Honda is crap" but I over came that and I think that's a huge step for me! Yay me! (!)
You're 18 and have two cars, one of which is a Range Rover? Dayum, you sound pretty wealthy XD. I like Civics though; Honda makes a superb car. What year is it? My gf has a '03 that was very well taken care of by its first owner, so is basically new. It's a dark blue coupe, which is about my favorite three-word description for any car this side of "free, runs great." My car's pretty decent, but I'm still jealous of hers lol.
Alexander, it's amazing that you're moving in this direction... and I have to say, it sounds like your parents are loosening up a tiny bit too, as I doubt they would have let you get a Honda a year or two ago. Personally, I love hondas. I've driven one since I learned how to drive (a pretty long time ago), though I had a break for a couple years where I drove a VW Bus. They're reliable, fuel efficient, inexpensive to repair, and built to last... I have one that is 22 years old and still runs great!
I felt like instead of getting a Mercedes (over rated) even though I love love them I just want to be "normal" like I don't want people to look at me you know? I mean for a long time since I can remember I always wanted attention from people, now I'm just not caring as much, and I have to say it feels so nice I've even gone out with my hair not done I look tired I had a pimple but you know what yes it was HARD as hell at first and I was so uncomfortable and scared but people didn't care and I actually had a complement on my eyes which I was shocked because I thought I looked bad. But over all I'm feeling more relaxed, I'm not letting my parents control me as much I love them but this is my life and I think after I bitched the shit out of them before their anniversary they could see how I was feeling, it wasn't the right thing to do..... Well maybe it was just not the way to do it, but honestly I needed to be done. And after that it hit me how "un" normal my family really is to the extreme, and I realized MY GOD I don't want to be like my parents ever I never never never want to be so arrogant and mean and uncaring towards people and my family like they are.
I know you're from a wealthy family, but I suggest you should move to make your own money and buy a car on your own means. That way you'll likely feel a better connection with the car, and a sense of earning it.
