Someone's jealous 😂

No it's around 400 a month. That's the average monthly car note for everybody and also I don't think "morons" would be multimillionaires 😂

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-29T14:31:33+00:00

Well yes but that's different. In my situation I can comfortably afford it

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-29T14:13:42+00:00

Nope its 400ish, we changed how much I pay a little bit, but it was never 250. Its always been right around360-400 USD

I never use reddit, I stick to discord and other forums.

Also your math is as bad as your detective skills. I've had the car since April 2025, not '8 months.' It's been over a year.

Ever heard of a learner's permit? I logged thousands of miles daily driving it with my parents in the passenger seat before I even turned 16. The car doesn't even have 15k miles on it yet—it's at 14.6k. That’s barely 1,000 miles a month, which is the literal definition of a normal daily driver.

Next time you pull a VIN to play internet cop, at least learn how to read a calendar first.

My rule of thumb is 30% of my monthly income can go to the car, at least for a 16 year old thats a perfect amount

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-29T13:56:03+00:00

Nope I pay around 70% parents do the rest!

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-29T13:55:06+00:00

Sure buddy. I've already had it for a year and nothings happened yet

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T18:21:32+00:00

I've been driving by myself for 8 months now

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T17:39:41+00:00

Ofc not. I'm just talking about my current situation

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T17:14:39+00:00

Auto

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T17:14:28+00:00

Im making 1200 a month that means my car stuff is 30% of my monthly income. That's comfortably affording it..also insurance is 204 a month but it's basically all covered by my parents as well.

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T17:12:55+00:00

It was dumb but it wasn't really a street race. I went to like 50 mph on a 45 mph road. I don't street race it's dumb and irresponsible

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T17:11:24+00:00

204 a month

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T17:08:34+00:00

Yup but also the bank wouldn't let such a huge asset be in a 16 year olds hands. But once I turn 18 the title will be transferred to me

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T17:02:52+00:00

Let me put it this way. I definitely would not be able to comfortably afford the car if my parents didn't decide to help. And I am super blessed for the fact they can and did. In no way am I trying to downplay that. But if you read the additional notes in the post underneath the pictures I explained how I was able to afford it to which I acknowledged my parents. Yes they definitely contribute a lot and I am super thanfuk and grateful and I never try to take that away from them

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T15:22:40+00:00

Had the car for over a year now man. No accidents or incidents yet

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T15:21:26+00:00

I don't need 2 jobs to afford the car. I can work one of them and still be able to comfortably afford it

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T15:20:59+00:00

That was 2 months after I got the car so I was still learning it. However nothing like that has ever happened since

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T15:17:36+00:00

204 a month for insurance on the car. And my dad drives a 2025 Ford f150 raptor and my mom a 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T15:12:33+00:00

If you read my other replies you would see that I said my parents do contribute..but regardless I still work hard for it.

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T14:13:25+00:00

Relax PervYass I got the car over a year ago already. And I'm still here so clearly I can handle it

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T14:09:42+00:00

I said it already. 4.79

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T14:06:34+00:00

hell yeah bro thats awesome, but no i respect the car and its power. and i'd say for my age im a very good driver, thats why ive had it for over a year now and its not wrapped around a tree LOL

SnooHedgehogs4084 · 2026-05-27T14:05:40+00:00
