My mother bought one of the first Honda Accords sold in NJ. A few months later Dow gave her a company car with expense account for fuel. She offered the Accord to me and I turned her down. I ended up selling it for her for 2K more than she paid for it. (these first Accords were only made in Japan, and many more people here in the USA wanted the few that were available) Defiantly one of the most stupid moves I made in the 80's
I did something similar when I was 19, my father offered to by me a New Honda Prelude and he would continue to cover my insurance, I insisted on a Trans am, he said if you want a Trans am you’re completely on your own ... while it was an expensive decision, I worked my ass off and paid off the car in less then 2 years.

I remember paying over $6k just for the insurance.
