When I was getting close to driving age my dad game me an interest free load to buy any car I could afford. He did pay for the insurance and my room and board.
I paid 100% of all costs for the car. I was 25 before I ever borrowed one of my parent's cars. I had to haul more than one passenger. After that I don't remember ever borrowing one of their cars.
Today is almost a chamber of commerce day in OKC. 72 degrees and blue skies. It is windy as heck so not quite a perfect day. I drove my 911 today just because. One of the regulars at the autocross was driving by and saw a clean 911 and stopped in to see who owned it. He was surprised to see me here. Then the UPS driver came in. He drives a new Honda sedan of the appliance type but with ricer parts. It is actually a nice car and he does come to the autocross as well. Both of them like the new wheels.
