Builder49 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Took my 21 year old son out for a drive in the Zed yesterday afternoon, he absolutely loved it and openly admitted he was jealose ! Now informs me he has been looking at 350's for a while and really wanted one, but in his words, 'THERES NO WAY I CAN HAVE THE SAME CAR AS MY DAD!!' Whats the general feeling on this? I said, 'Don't be daft, get what you want'. But he is now saying 'No way'. Is it acceptable or not to have the same car as your Father? PS, It's his loss if he doesn't, because they are fantastic.

Humpy Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Well have heard of 'His and Her' cars... not sure I have heard of 'His and His' car I dont see anything wrong with it at all to be honest, he just has good taste Quote
SteveRS Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I cant see it being a problem. Put it this way if my Dad had a Lambo I would still probably want a Lambo. If its the car he really wants then I say go for it, he can always style his differently to yours. Quote
Sarnie Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 My old man drives a TT RS which I'd defo buy at the right price... Quote
glrnet Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Watch out for him "borrowing" bits from yours if he does get one, mind you i suppose you could claim "Paternal Privileges" if you needed any spares Quote
Ebized Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I know both my lads hate and respect me at the same time as regards my 'wheels', escpecially when they get to have a ride And they still ask for my advice when it comes to their own car purchases/fixes, so can't be doing too bad at my ripe old age.

spursmaddave Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Seems fine to me, the last car my old man had was a Metro Quote
choptop Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I cannot see a problem with this. Maybe his son does not want his Dad chatting up his girlfriends Quote
leonk Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 My 19 year old has a better plan, I just insure him on mine and let him use it while I pick up all the bills. Quote

Builder49 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Give him the zed! Stupid idea He's better off than me.... Quote
brillomaster Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Definitely his loss! Although saying that, my dad has a really nice original impreza turbo which i loved when i was a little younger. However it is nice that ive now outdone him and got something with 60 more horsepower You've set the bar mighty high for him to better though - anything thats faster is going to either be a lot older, or a lot more expensive!

KyleR Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 This is a tricky one. I would definitely have the same car as my dad, but although he's 56, he still thinks he's in his 20's, therefore has pretty good modern taste in cars and various other things. It's all down to the dad at the end of the day. Quote
370Ad Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 My dad had a 350z and now has a 370z. But he lives in America so its not like they are parked next to each other....ever I say go for it if he can afford one! Quote
