Trade your uncle straight up for vehicles and then when you turn 18 trade back. I'd make a contract though or he will want to keep your truck.

How old are you? If you are under 18 your name can't be on the title. And if you are over 18 why are we having this conversation? You could do what ever you want.

And they arent buying the BMW for me, it is what they want me to have, I am going to pay for it. Just like I have with all my vehicles. My Parents take care of me but they dont foot everything. I'm sorry if I came across that way. And I know its a decent car because it was my uncles, but still none the less, I like my truck. I just wanted to vent. I picked the wrong place and all that, my apologies.

And in reply to Luke S. I am an honor student and they threaten to take stuff if my grades go down. Sorry again if I came across as a spoiled brat.

Also, Thanks for some of the post with humor in them.
Wow, was I way off. Sorry about that. If you pay for it thats just mean to make you give it up. I feel bad now. I think the uncle thing is a good idea. Or you can buy a beemer and keep it, then when you get out of college yu can have a truck AND a beemer. Sorry again.

Lol Yeah well Im in a little town..Not so little anymore..everyone is coming from Cali..but BMW seems to be pretty nice out here. Buckeye is pretty small! And thank you for the apologies. I did not mean for it to come across that way like I said before. But after much deliberation I have decided that it is not so bad, just because, 1. it is a little better on fuel and cheaper on insurance and 2. I can wait a few years to have a Cummins again. I tend to go through vehicles pretty fast because I get tired of things. Its a good thing though. BUt again, thanks for all your replies!

ANd to rephrase the " how many 17 year olds have a beamer" post...

As far as fuel milage goes with The BMW they get horrible mileage. My wifes 325I gets 18-20 mpg when I am driving it . But it is a nice car.


I do agree with the comments about changing driving habits though. It sucks to have to pay insurance in the first place and to have to pay more because of tickets is... well I would rather bang my head against a brick wall than to give those crooks more money.
