I got in trouble with the X6 from Circle BMW, last year I paid cash for it. Now state of NJ wants to keep it.

I'm 22, still in college (I'll be graduating with a business IT degree from Virginia Tech in December).
I've been lucky enough to score big time with my online business these past couple of years. I've been saving up money and paid for my car cash just last week. When I was doing research into figuring out which car I wanted, the E60 just captivated me from the beginning. I thought the car was GORGEOUS, and the v8 was insanely powerful.

I wasn't really planning on buying a BMW. One night, finacee got an accident and I persuaded her to buy a new car and she said she wanted a BMW. So, next day we went to Longbeach BMW, she purchased e90 335. Then I saw this 550 and asked how much is it. Then Bam!!! I can afford, so both of us went home with smiles up to our ears that night. Not knowing that there are M versions I was very happy with my car. A year later, both of us upgraded to M.

Well, as many of you know, I am 16 and many people probably wonder why the hell I am driving this car. Especially the folks in Europe.
I have written this little essay many times before, but I will write it again
My Dad is a great guy and he can't help but spoil us all. I loves new toys and he was the reason I got this car.
He wanted to have a little fun as well so that is why I am driving this car I had to pay all my savings ($4,500) and also have to pay for ALL of my mods.
I understand that driving this car at this age is CRAZY but my Dad isn't stupid. He knows that I understand what this car means and how insane it is that I am driving this car. He wouldn't have bought this car for me if I he thought I didn't value it enough.
I love my car and it's always clean. I devote a lot of time to my car to make sure it is always in great shape and near car-show ready
So how did you get your BMW?

I came to the States at the age of 16yo. Had, oh, about 2 grand on me and that's about it - no parents, didn't really know anyone, except for the family that hosted me for a year that I was an exchange student... long story short, after, oh, about 12-13 years of busting my ass and ups and downs, I finally bought - well, financed - my first BMW.
I hate you, Krozi

I'm 20, saved up 10 grand, went car shopping, fell in love with the 5 series, paid 10gs down payment and financing the rest, a year and a half later, wanted more horsepower, traded the e60 in and bought the MB slk55 amg and i am satisfied for now

Well the merits of your Father's decision will not be argued here, but hopefully it will not become a detriment to you in the future, which unfortunately is the case more often than not...being spoiled is fun but at some point you have to get cut off. Hopefully you take the experiences and luv of your car and use it to inspire you to work very hard on your own and succeed in a way that you can actually afford to purchase and own the car you drive...
