my name is ashlie and i want my dad to get me a blue 2007 mustang gt for my sweet 16 but instead i get my brothers chevy pick up i hate chevy ford is better
[:@]

just be happy your getting something!

2007 mustang gt might have a little too much power for you to handle!

:D

sorry to hear it.......

I know you probably don't want to hear this but it is best if you have something you don't really care about as a first vehicle. Just the learn the basics of driving and get used to it; every young driver needs experience at driving. Chances are, you will probably get into an accident, whether it be your fault or not.
One day you will have your dream car and you will truely appreciate it.

hey your gonna have somethin to get you from point a to point b....

sell the chevy pickup and buy a ford pickup:)

let me tell you somthing my second car was a 1989 5.0 mustang, i had the car and my license for 23days before my first ticket, 95in a 55.... i lost my license for 6months then i got pulled over in it again..... try and stay away from muscle cars till you are comfortable driving and you know where all the cops sit hahahah i'm sure everyone can back me up on this one

just be happy your getting something!

Yep, my dad gave me his 79 Delta 88. Biggest POS you ever saw.

I am with ya, I am 36 & just got mine last week.

My first car i had to earn. It was an Opel Kadet station wagon. I was just glad to have some wheels when i was sixteen. I got my first Mustang at 26 so hang in there. Now i'm working on my third stang. If you really want it and it's not a passing fancy then work for it, save for it and you will eventually have it! Good luck. P.S. if you got the urgh to race do it on a track not the street.

ask him for a v6!

49 and got mine a little over 3 weeks ago.
First car was a 65 Plymouth Valiant, $300 at a local gas station.
That was in 1975... man I'm getting old. Or as Jimmy Buffett says "Growing old but not up!"

[sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif] Oh well, sucks to be a kid.

Welcome to the forums!!!

Do what I did...get a job and buy your own

16 yr olds don't deserve a 300 horsepower car let alone a brand new car. Get something that sucks ass and learn how to drive.

some kids are just idiots. if your parents buy you an expensive, fast, nice ass car then chances are you arent gonna give a **** about it cuz you dont know the value of a dollar. im 17 and i worked my ass off 2 jobs for a summer just so i could buy my car and havnt got a scratch on it,

I have to agree, get used to how driving is like while you're still young, then you'll appreciate the really nice cars when you're older. I was 24 when I got my license (yeah, OLD, but I'm from NYC originaly) and my first car was a Focus. The day after I bought that (wrote a check for that one!) I got pulled over and got a ticket. This year I traded in the Focus and financed the Stang, then I was gone for a week. Not sooner than three weeks after I got my car, I got into a minor accident and lost her for a week! I guess having a V6 instead of a V4 got to my head. So even us older new drivers have to get used to the power.

Just sayin, you'll appreciate it so much more when you know how to drive it. :)

Dude, all I can say is just be happy that you're getting something, and that you don't have to actually BUY your first car yourself! Back in '95 when I turned 16 (God I feel so old!), I spent $1800 on a p.o.s. retired '77 Ford LTD II cop car. Man, that car was truly the pits, but I was proud of my purchase cuz it was MY car that I bought with MY money. Ha, at least it had a 351 in it, but with it being retired from a hard life, it didn't drive so well. But it was my transportation thru h.s. and into college. While I was still in college, I had to replace my first car cuz it was dying a slow death. As much as I wanted to replace it with a Mustang, I couldn't cuz it would cost too much (factor in gas and INSURANCE, especially for still being under 25). Instead, I bought a non-descript, used VW Jetta with a VR6 and 5-speed. My first stick shift car, definitely important to learn driving stick on a car you don't care too much about. Good transportation to get from A to B, and at least I could get it with a bike rack to transport my mtn bike/road bike on top. Meanwhile, since about '94, I had been saving for my dream car: I knew I would someday own an SVT Mustang Cobra convertible. Finally, in early 2003, I knew I would be graduating from college after Fall '03 and starting my career. The '03 NY Auto Show unveiled my ultimate purchase: a 2004 Mystichrome Cobra, but of course mine would be a convertible. After officially graduating from college and starting my first job out of college, I was finally able to afford to BUY MY OWN dream car, AND IT FELT SOOOOOOO GOOD that day I took delivery of it!

Believe me, you'll appreciate it more when you actually work for it! For me, I knew I had to not only finish h.s., but also graduate from college and secure a high-paying job just to be sure that I would afford my baby. And after a decade of saving, I was able to put down close to 75% of the total, and I only financed a small chunk.

As they say, the best things in life aren't for free.

A 300HP car isnt a good idea for a first car. I had a 1977 Nova with the big bad 250 I-6 "3 on the tree". Still managed to wreck it quickly. If you bought that youd either get in trouble with the police, or worse wreck it and feel bad about it

dude, I graduated HS in '95 and was in the Army shortly after that....dont start feelin old yet til you start runnin around with a whole buncha junk on your back, diving for the nearest cover...and that was just the training part LOL. My first car was a '87 Honda Civic and my mother bought it for me right after my dad died. I paid her back but, that car wasnt my choice. That was a nice little car for the time and it lasted for several years til some drunk guy decided to run a red asI was goin on the green....I was pissed.

at least its not a honda lol but a 07 mustang GT just might have too much power for ya believe me im only 17 and get in a lot of trouble with a 4banger lol welcome to the forum!!!

Take care of the truck. Keep it clean and running great do all you have to in order to keep it as nice as possible. Then when you dad seesthat you can take care of an old hand-me-down truck, your dad will see that you truly care for the truck and reconsider getting you that stang. Am i right guys?

Ashlie your daddy clearly doesn't love you enough. So go tell him that you just met a 40 year old guy with a blue convertible on the internet and you're going to Canada to live with him and drive his car.;) That should put the keys to a shiney new car in your hands.

sick man.....sick

you sound spoiled.. sounds to me like you deserve to drive a Geo Metro for about5years. till you can save money to pay for your car.

if your dad bought you a 07 GT i would think of you as a spoiled brat and you wouldn't take care of it. I am 16 1/2 and have been working since I was 14 1/2 half just to buy a 3.8L and still haven't gotten it.

I hear ya..I'm 18 now had my car for a little over a year and a half..yes it's a Mustang but it's a v6 and I got it for a great price. My parents made me pay for the car, gas, and inurance myself, and let me tell you that helped me to truly understand the value of a dollar.

ok word of advice.

dont get a new car..i mean dont even want one. my first car was a 98 chevy silverado and i loved it to death. then for my 16 birthday i got a 06 v6 mustang. now a couple of days ago some lady pulled ou in front of me and i hit her.

yes it was her fault and she got the ticket for it but still it was a brand new car gone to waste.

plus no 16 year old needsa gt mustang unless u plan to race at a track some where and uve been driving since u were 7. like me :)

if ur going to act like an idiot u deserve a ricer. like a civic or a dodge neon. better yet a "suped up" plymouth neon or breezer or what ever.

i wish i would have hit her in my truck though. less damage for me.

just get a 99-04 gt much less money and power, asking for a new 26k dollar car is a little much starting out

im not spoiled i deserve it. its not my fault i dont have a job my mom wont let me. and they both owe me alot. i babysit my lil brother 24/7 i never get a break except for school ive babysat my brother since he was born 7 1/2 yrs ago so dont call me spoiled:(

All I can think of is the vid where the girl gets a brand new car for her birthday & starts crying cause its the wrong color.[&:]

My first car was a hand me down from my older siblings, a 1993 Mercury Tracer with a big 1.9 liter CVH 4 banger. For those of you who dont know CVH is actually a HEMI engine. Oh yea it pumps out the horses.;)Definitely a car that has been beat to s***.

My older brother ran it into the curb and bent the rim, also rearended someone just hard enough to crack the bumper and leave a hole about the size of a fist,backed into someone hard enough to leave 1/4 inch deep gash, dented the roof somehow?!? and blew out the speakers.

Then my sister drove it and pretty much did some of the dumbest things to the interior I have ever seen. Stickers on the dash, 100 things hanging from the mirror and about 20 stuffed animals placed about the car. (on the dash, in the back window...)

I was lucky enough to drive it for almost a year. I did put in a new deck with cd/Mp3 player and new speakers all around. Also two JLAudio 12" subs with a 450 watt mono channel amp. My buddy works for a sound system installation company and hooked me up for about half price. Well probably the only good thing on the car besides the sound system was, thatit was great on gas, most of the time I forgot when the last time was that I filled up. And probably most important it was great to find out where all the copsare in town. Not that this car could actually go fast enough to exceed the speed limit.

I will probably keep it to drive in the winter to save the LX from the salt that Racine puts down every winter.

Hey, you're not spoiled; I wanted the same thing only for my second car after I was 18, and that was over 6 months ago. ;) But I talked it over and matched funds with my dad to get an 07 V6 (And I love that car to death, so don't say I don't appreciate it! ;) )

But it was easier because I showed my dad that I could handle that kind of car since I had been driving a '00 V6 GOLD! convertible for over two years while he was in Iraq. Maybe if you show your parents that you can drive that truck by not getting into any accidents and especially not getting any tickets (Maybe parking ones hehe), he'll reconsider your dream car. :) If he can afford it and you bring it up in a sensible manner, he should listen. Not all parents are as thick-skulled as we think. ;)

thats right if you want something don't just ask daddy forit go get a joband save all your money and go buy the car that you want, trust me that will make you value and appriciate the car, i'm 19 and now i own 2 cars and nowi'm looking into buying another car

i just turned 17 and im on my 4th car, i originally bought a 1950 plymouth, fixed it, sold it, made money. then i bought a '80 camaro shell that i was gonna keep, long story short i got it running, modded it slightly, then sold it. bought a turbo eclipse, sold that, bought a different one that was heavily modded and AWD, then the guy i bought it from didn't mention to tell me the piston rings were fried, sold it, made about $3k fixing all these cars and selling them. then i got an AMAZING deal on my mustang and i absolutely love it. i've never gotten a ticket or in an accident, but i do admitt to doing some stupid things in it :\

but working on cars and having to pay for everything sure makes you appreciate them more!

Haha if i asked my parents for a 2007 mustang or any new car they would just laugh at me. I had to drive the family civic hatchback until i saved up enough for my mustang

Im 16 and a half and im already on my third car, my first one was a cherry red 66 mustang coupe. Then my second car was a cherry red 92 300zx, now i have my kalipso green 93 stang. Anyways, welcome to the forums mustang_lover10

Welcome aboard!!At least you are getting something to drive as it beats walking.I am 44 and own 3 stangs but after thinking for a minute I want my Dad to buy me one too!!(LOL) Learn to drive first then move up to a stang!You sound pretty spoiled to me,my dad offered to buy me a starter car at 16 but I wanted to get it on my own and its made me appreciate everything I have worked for all that much more!![sm=trust_me.gif]

I got my first car at 16, my dad bought it for me, I was working full time at the time. We picked it up from his insurance agent. It was the perfect starter car, 1964 1/2 mustang with a 260 V8 auto. Drove that car everywhere until I had brain freeze and traded it in on a toyota truck of all things. I got hit and rolled that truck 3 weeks later (god was telling me I should have kept the classic). It took me almost 30 yrs. to get another mustang.
So Ashley drive the truck for now, you may even like it, your time in a mustang will come. Oh and don't be so defensive about being spoiled, you still have more to learn then you canimagine.
I use to be young enough to now it all too.

Stop whining and appreciate what you're getting because they could've very well said no and made you buy your own car. I worked my ass of also to get my first car (which is an 88 Chevy Silverado by the way and I've never had a problem with it like my other friends with "other" trucks ;) for $5000. I wanted a 69 fastback for my mustang but got a 72 and I'm still way happy to have it. I fought and fought to get a 69 i found for 4k running but they wouldn't have it. I waited and now i have my mustang and a beautiful truck that i baby like crazy. I appreciate it more because i know i bought it with my own hard work.

I've seen friends who got brand new cars who give a crap about them because they don't realize what it takes toget what they have in the real world. You may think "it'll a mustang, what I've always wanted" well i knew a guy who got a 05 Corvette that he always wanted and whenit came to taking care of it, he didn't fare so well.

Well, I am 15, and will turn 16 in a year. I already have me a car, because we got a GREAT DEAL on it. I love it.

It's an '04 Mustang GT - Fire Red (Sorry, I need a better picture, I'll get a better one soon.)
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h251/tx_rangers8/100_1828.jpg

Our deal on this car was great. It has about 22,000 miles on it. We got it for $17,500. We got it, because we knew we wouldn't be able to find one with only that many miles on it.

I already have it planned out for when I'm 16. I am going to get duel flowmasters on it, because it's just not loud enough right now.

And I want these rims on it. How do you think these would look on it?

Anthracite is just a fancy word for coal lol:D Is it a V6? Hopefully not. I really like those wheels, I was gonna get them for mine but so many people around here have themon the classics and i HATE that. At least theyre not import looking ones. Muscle deserves so much better. [sm=icon_rock.gif]

uhh, i think u overpayed. especially if you dont have bullit wheels, which means u dont have leather seats and etc.

for another 2500 u could have got an s197 with that many miles on it
