my mom would offer to buy me a new car, then if i took the bait she'd hold it over my head for the rest of my life.

i stopped falling for her tricks in high school.

Yeah, man. Totally hope to be there one day. Made it through 30 minutes of spirited driving on the highway though, no problem.

@Adam: Yeah, man. I'm thankful that she's reliable atm.
@ Brain: Oh, she still hangs everything over my head. Every time we get into an argument, non-related things like "Don't forget that I'm paying for your tuition" and "You live in this house for free" come up out of nowhere. All good, guess I've learned to stay on her good side so it rarely ever happens now.

Hey, it could be worse. You could be kicked out and living on your own trying to go to school, working, and scraping enough money up to eat. Ask me how I know what that was like.

Made you who you are though, didn't it? Self made man, something to take pride in.

I think my dumb *** would've moved out if it weren't for this student visa thing. After a while I just adapted and learned to take advantage of how easy everything is for me thanks to my parents My cars/parts didn't pay for themselves though!

Now, I have to go back and read every post. Thanks for the cliff notes this is awesome.
