I dont see why your friends would say that, when they asked first what you were looking at. it would be differnt if you were like hey look at the car im getting, but you didnt, just brush it off, and when they want a ride, be like remeber when you called me a spoiled brat?.. yea thats what i thought... now that might not be you, but i know thats what i would say with a nice car like that!!.. && happy early birthday!!<33 [ hollister_lover09's advice column | Ask hollister_lover09 A Question ]

I remember when I turned 16 it made me furious with my friends that got brand new cars when they turned 16, especially something like a mercedes. But the only thing you can do is just let it go, and whatever you do, don't mention your car. even though you may not be, it typically comes across as bragging and that is something no one likes very much. and when you get it, take them for a spin if they need a ride. they'll love it!
