P Diddly's son's first car
Discussion
I got my first car at just under 18 years old. Paid for by myself - insurance and everything. Paid for my own driving lessons too. My parents didn't drive. My first car was a 1972 MkIII Cortina 1600L. I loved it.
Do I envy Diddys son ?
No.
Not a bit.
(But still, a Maybach ? Kin ridiculous).

That's true I guess, yes. My parents brought me up by the principal that I needed to work for things. Even if the reward didn't equal the work, they wanted to give me that association, and it seems to have been a good grounding. But who knows, maybe his son dreamed of owning a Maybach for years, and P Diddy made him do two hour's housework a day since he was ten or something? Or maybe he's had problems and it's a reward? We don't know I guess.Elskeggso said:

You can't expect him too though, not when his family is that loaded.Peter Jones said:

That's one way to incentivise your kids to work hard...and if they do something charitable, they get more.Libertine said:
