When I was in hs and college, I was given my parents hand me down cars, but I was never bought a NEW car. This was more than most my freinds got though!
My dad likes to promise stuff and not go thru with it. He told my dh for years he would give him a down payment for a new car on dh's next car purchase. I never ever expected it and HE offered it many many times. We are adults and can buy our own things thru working. However, on the principle of him backing out, it created a strife between us esp since he did the same thing for other items.
