My parents drive a car that makes me look poor.

Recently, my parents purchased a Dodge Dakota Sport (extended cab).

Photo via lookbook


I am embarrassed, even though the car was very economical, and made tons of sense for our four-person nuclear family. I make my parents drop me off a block away from school, just in case people ‘judge me’ based on the car that my parents’ drive. It just doesn’t make sense that some1 with my personal brand would come from the ‘mediocrity’ that my parents’ car seems to represent. I wish I could have been ‘consulted’ a little bit more when they were making their decision. Feel like my needs are also important, and are usually ‘neglected’ due to budget constraints. Ugh. Wish my parents had jobs that paid more and meant that they’d travel a lot.

Just afraid that I will look ‘too middle class’ if people see me getting chauffeured around the city in that ‘normal person’ car. Wish they had something sportier, or possibly a car that made our family seem ‘richer’ than we actually are. I feel like it is important for other people to have an appearance of your life being ‘a process of getting whatever you want’, even though everything is a struggle at my house.

Also feel ‘incredibly generic’ since my mom wants to give me her boring Camry as my first car. Seriously would rather fucking ‘walk every where.’

I just want my ‘colleagues’ to believe that I am some1 incredibly interesting, who comes from a set of cool parents. Sorta wish ppl thought I got to school by subway, even though our suburban area is miles away from any public transportation system that has been branded as ‘authentic.’ We only have buses, and they are mainly ridden by the poors and coloureds.

Just wish my parents ‘at least’ had a Volvo/Volkswagen/Prius. Possibly some sort of ambiguous SUV. Tired of looking ‘too middle class.’ Might get a job next summer to buy a ______.

Don’t want my parents to come across as people who are just ’struggling 2 make a living.’
Yall know what I mean, rite?

Are yall embarrassed of yalls parents, and do u wish they understood the importance of personal branding [via consumer decisions]?
R ur parents rich or middle class or poor?

    My first car was a 65 Mustang. I think it actually made a pretty big statement.

    Man, my dad used to drive tank like Volvo’s. The 240 and stuff. I was too emberrased, but now I like those zany tanks, I like to pretent I joined the Swedish Armies. They can make life more meaningfull, worried about the gas/mileage ratio and nature in gerneral. Might buy a bike. Maybe in a few year you will like the Dodge Dakota Sport

    My first car is a Volkwagen Wolf (Lupo) small but it’s balck and represents my personal brand.

    If you’re rich you can “get away” with stuff, like driving old cars that look like shit. Some of my richest friends (grew up in the Beverly Hills of Kazagstan) drive the oldest cars, they likes to drive “as if they don’t care”. I still use the donkey I got for my 16th birthday, it’s grey with white spots.

    Carlesfans, what do you think is the altest and most authentic car to date? Must be a green Citroen 2CVno? A Citroen DX makes you look more meaningfull in general, but that car is expensive.

    I want to buy an old Volvo (240) or late 60s Chevrolet pickup (ironically alt). My parents drive mundane vehicles found in middle-to-upper-middle suburbia (via mid-decade Hondas). My parents used to own a VW GTI – too bad they never kept it for me to use as my alt-mobile.

    Right now I “drive” a couple of vintage Trek bikes – they’re pretty fucking alt.

    @dobedobe, VWs are immensely alt and authentic. If only my parents kept the 86 GTI (their first car together – the 91 Ford Taurus was a different story, but it could be alt in the ironic “I have to haul shit for my job” way) and dad’s myriad VWs from the 70s and 80s (must love the 76 Scirocco and early 70s squarebacks)…

    My parents now own dull middle-to-upper-middle class suburban people cars. But considering their non-altness, they had some pretty authentic rides in the day.

    Parents drove Volvos before I was born. Feel kinda spoiled now. Wish I wasn’t so concerned with the zany cars my parents drove. First car was a 1977 forest green volvo station wagon. I drive a 86 Volvo 740 station wagon now, but am giving it back to parents after I get my BA + move to authentic city with (authentic) subways n streetcars next month.

    Uhm, why do you care what these people think of your parents car?
    It’s not as if they’re going to immediatly point a finger and say ‘Oh there’s a low class fool.’
    Because what’s on everyones mind is what class everyone is? Don’t think so, friend.
    No chances are they’re more so going to look at how your dressed and how you act.
    What your parents drive is completely irrelevant to you.
    Not to mention, if my parents were offering to GIVE me a car, i’d take it. No matter what sort of piece it was.

    if yr parents have a pickup and they let you sit in the bed when they drive you to school so you can jump out when you get there like your tom joad or something and wave goodbye all casual, that’s still pretty alt.

    if yor parents have a pickup and they make you sit in the back seat all cramped with yr seatbelt on and then whn you get t school your mom has to get out and put the seat back so you can get out and she makes a big show of saying bye, not so alt, unless your Ian Mackaye.

    @Z, Not to bad, I didn’t ask for the car. Even if the value go’s down, it doesn’t matter. You usually stay with your first car for awhile until your able to buy yourself a new one. Doesn’t really matter how much it will be after awhile. And since they can “handle” their money they found “it” for a very decent price. They didn’t overpay is what I was trying to get at. No need to be sassy. :]

    Honestly don’t give a crap what car I drive. Okay, so I wish I could get a Audi or Volvo. Don’t have a car or license yet, but once I do, I’m getting my mom’s Camry. It’s not bad. At least I’ll have a car to get around everywhere.

    it’s “cooler” to look “poor”. walk to school if you want a “relevant” journey “experience”.

    92 corolla in grandma beige. made it alt by playnig cartag enough so it looked mean. had to smash out one of the back windows too and cover it w/ duct tape not very well.

    the trick is to look like ur from the burbs but u drive to ‘rough places’ on a regular basis. i’m from the city tho.

    srsly tho buy a vintage bike that works good but make sure the chain squeaks so ppl know ur not ‘trying to hard’. don’t go fixie cuz ppl know ur not a messenger bro and when they ask u y u ride it you have to say some bs like ‘i can feel the road better this way’

    ‘85 toyota pickup with the four on the floor and a cow skull baling wired to the hood- it forever cemented my love of driving really shittie cars/trucks much faster than they were designed for/made me fit in with the rednecks

    My father drives an Audi A6 and I ride a bike with no intention of getting a car any time soon and I like it. Can’t get embarrassed/proud, we don’t live in the same country so he never drives me anywhere or anything unless I visit him and then, nobody knows me anyway.

    Wow shut the fuck up. A dodge Dakota isn’t the worst thing to drive. My parents own a very successful business that make $500k a year+ and guess what i drive…A Geo fucking Tracker. The thing breaks down all of the time and i need to put all of my money in it just to keep it running. I am only 16 but I am working a full time summer job. You need to get shot for being such a needy little bitch. Learn to appreciate what you have because not every one just gets handed a decent car that actually runs.

    My folks own a Mercedes, Mustang, and Ford Taurus. My first car was a BMW. I just got it in August, and I am soooooo happy=) I prayed about what I wanted, and proved myself to my folks, and one morning I woke up and BAM!

    My dad is currently driving an oversized, teal blue, 1993 Chevy Lumina – it is old, dirty, and none of the front work anymore so we have to enter through the side slider. At first I felt sorry for myself, but after reading this, I feel sorry for you. I’m 17 years old and I take a lot of pride in what I wear and how I present myself everyday. Only a short three years ago, I thought that everything in life was simply peachy. I wore designer clothing, and both my parents had acceptable vehicles that I was glad to show up in. That was, however, until my poor father lost his job and then injured his leg, preventing him from a normal life. Money is now tight, and buying a 1000 van (we had NEVER been ‘van people’) was our only option. Being 17 and in this mess, I don’t even have a car to call my own and while I still manage to wear nice clothing and present my own style, I still let my parents pull up to the building when they DROP me off. You should be happy that you have parents that can even provide such things for you. It’s not about what you drive, or what you look like, it should be about the person you are, and accepting such things as a car, a simple, materialistic thing, shouldn’t stop you from being an amazing person.
