I payed for half of the car ($4500 with shipping, etc.). I pay for parts. My father pays for my fuel and insurance.

Let me say that in 2 years and 30,000 miles I have NEVER once hit anything, vehicle or stationary object.

I did get slid into twice last winter, both times by a sedan so my big rubber covered bumpers took all the force and neither time left more then a scuff.

I appreciate my parents helping me you financially with my vehicle, I could never have bought it without them. But I do know the value of a dollar and put significant work into making the money that I did pay on it. (I'm at about 5-6k now on my end)
