My parents said if I dux my school this year they'd buy me a cheap second-hand Volkswagen Golf. I'm not sure if either occurrence will really happen, though. :P

They sure are! Shame I probably won't get my license for another few years (in one year I've only done 20 hours -.-).

Your parents are so generous! Mine said that getting into a good university should be enough of an incentive for me to study hard  :-\

I'm saving up for a Holden VE Commodore SV6 sedan. I'm hoping to spend around 15-20k on it, which I should be able to make this year because I'm not going to university until 2014 :) It looks like this:

At the moment, I don't own any car, but my parents are temporarily letting me and my brother use their VT Commodore, which looks like this:

Lol my dad's work car is an XR6 and I've driven it a few times  8) But tbh, I'm more of a Holden guy, especially since my grandpa spent most of his life working as a mechanical engineer for Holden. I have a lot of respect for that guy.

That's fair enough :) I find that the Falcons seems to have a smoother gearbox and engine. The newer ones have over 400NM of torque, so they can pull!

I really love the look of the SV6/SS Utes. In that grey colour as well :O

I'd rather they let me study what I really wanted to than buy me a car. But anyway, that's an issue for another discussion.

That's what my parents said (not a golf though), but they reneged on the deal  :-\

So I bought one myself  8)

2008 Ford Focus. Not as good as a golf, but it does the trick.

How did you get thirty five thousand dollars in the maybe two and a half years you would have been working for in 2011?

Facelifed (LCI) looks a little bit better than the older model. And if you get the older model, please get the one with clear indicators :P
