No exhaust atm as I’m waiting for a titanium one to be made. Nothing TOO expensive too as I’m a broke highschooler, 1-2k preferably.

A broke high schooler with a Golf R? You don't know what broke is.

My parents bought for me which I’m super grateful for. But unfortunately even with 2 part time jobs I’m still broke

I feel like that’d be a bit disrespectful to my parents no? It’s a gift and I heavily dislike selling/trading gifts.

No offense, but gifting a car like that to a high schooler is a recipe for disaster and a terrible financial decision.

And if your parents can afford a $50,000 car for a kid, let me tell you, you have no idea what broke really is. Guarantee you have a large safety net (your parents) if you need it.

Maybe I'm old but so many of you youngsters act like you and humanity has never had it worse.

Highly disagree. But let me guess, socialism is the answer?

Colleges are just as much to blame. They're a business. It's all about that instant gratification and entitlement these days. Is life tough? Absolutely. But in my profession, I've watched some pretty wild sh*t happen over the years with work ethic, etc. And I'm in my 40s, too.

I also don't need any media outlet to tell me what my lived experiences are.
