Thanks you all. Even if some of your posts did sound harsh (I'm really sensitive haha), I realize you guys are right. My mom is being really generous and I don't know of anybody else whose mom as generous as mine, so I'm going to stop being a spoilt brat about the car. I'm not going to get the Mercedes after all. I'm glad I posted here or I would've made a big mistake in buying one, I had no idea about all the maintance issues and all that. I'm probably going to get a jetta or a civic, they're not that bad after all. Again, thank you.
You have a very generous mother and I think you should take the gift she chooses to bestow upon you and be grateful for it. That crappy little Honda Civic will run like a top for years, be reliable, get decent gas mileage, and won't require much maintenance. Perhaps your dear mother is wiser than you know.
Talk about timing....coming through town today what do I see? There's a black Mercedes with its four ways on leading a parade of cars behind it. My first thought was a late afternoon funeral but the only thing related to death was the SLK. Fellow in a suit and tie trying to wave the cars behind him to drive around as he moved at about five miles an hour or so. As they say, I kid you not.

It's a shame, it's really a gorgeous car, probably my favorite. I've always wanted one. Oh well, I'll wait a couple of years till I gain a bit more experience.
I think I found just the car for me!! It's economical and I love it, the vw Passat? Thoughts? It says here that it's a family car though, is it not smaller than a jetta? I don't really like the jetta, it's too big and round for me. The Passat looks smaller, why does it say it's a family car?

Bubalu, the Passat is indeed larger than the Jetta. If you prefer a smaller car, you might look at a GTI, Beetle or Eos. All of them would be smaller than a Jetta, though the Eos would be more expensive because of the convertible top.
