Very much so. My son is 18 and he is grateful that he can use my car.He has to work and get his own because I am a single mom with not enough money to buy another car. So I say be very grateful for what u do have because it could be a hell of alot worse.

No your not being greedy,just selfish. You want your own car..guess what there not cheap. What kind of car do you want? Do you have a job?If the answer to the last question is no..well?Are you going to pay your insurance?If you drive your own car you need your own insurance and your under 25. Think about $2500.00 a year for full coverage. Do yourself a favor unless you plan on hitting the lottery,tell your parents you would be happy to drive the pacifica. For one reason it is insured and it is big enough to protect you should you have an accident. Thank your parents for offering to let you drive it. Feel lucky.

Don't make your parents buy your car when you birthday arrives get a job in fast food save your money for two or three year then you can use the savings as the down payment on the car you want as long as your paycheck can support the monthly car payment bill, Insurance, taxes, title, registration, emissions testing and the unavoidable repair bills that come with being a car owner.
The preceeding paragraph was a very politely padded yes to your question.

Yes you are. Why don't you go buy one on your own? I was 12 years old when I bought a 69 camaro. On my 16th birthday I drove one of my own cars, not mom and dads. Nobody ever gave me a car so you should be very thankfull, not greedy.

Yeah! Big time!
They're letting you use a new vehicle now and have promised to buy you one in a year and you're not happy with that?
I was never given a car by my parents, though they could have easily afforded to do so. And I never gave my own son a car. We had to work for it, just like most people.
Frankly, you're a greedy little spoiled brat, IMHO.

What's the big deal? You are darn lucky they are getting you a really nice car to ride around in and impress your buddies. If you are so keen on getting your own wheels, get a job and buy your own. Maybe then you'll learn just how much they are giving you and be grateful to them.

yes... with out a doubt.. you're not saying you want a car.. you're saying you want a BRAND NEW CAR.. they have offered you a car.. AND the chance of a new car when this one's lease is up.. so personally i'd say you're being VERY greedy..
