Today, it was my 16th birthday. My surprise was a new car, that is now in the side of the garage because my mom lost control while driving it around front. FML

Sick ride, dude
Today, my parents said that they bought me a car. I had been begging for one for a year and they always said that I would have to pay for it myself. I got really excited and went to the garage to see my new ride. It was a Hot Wheels car with a note saying, "Save your money". FML

Keep on trucking
Today, six days before I turn 18, my mom totaled her nice BMW. She had promised it to me as a birthday present. My step-dad is giving me his old rusty truck instead, so now I can look like a hick. FML

Dude, where's my car?
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a three month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML

Today, was my 16th birthday and I was supposed to be surprised with a new car. I have overheard my parents talking about bringing it home tonight while I was at a friend's house. We snuck back to my house to see them bring my car home. All I saw was my Dad crash my new car into a street lamp. FML

Today, it's my 26th birthday. My girlfriend gave me a matchbox car, a glow necklace, and a squirt gun. For her birthday, I bought her a new dress, rented a limo, and took her around to bar hop with her friends. FML

Today, it's my 17th birthday. I asked for a newer car because my car right now sucks. I got a book on photography. I don't own a camera. FML

Lower your expectations
Today, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML

Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. The only gift I got was a bill from my parents. Apparently, the rent is due on the 1st. FML

quit expecting everything to be handed to you. A lot of people don't get cars for their 16th birthday. A lot of people don't get their first car until after college and it's a piece of shit.

next time you should ask her to be more specific. yknow, a lot of legal battles are won due to lack of specification from either party. so next time you're unsure about your mothers word, plead the fifth and call a lawyer!

Well it was no lie. I had to work hard for my first car. You'll feel better if you earn it. Your mom is kind of a dick though.

Don't listen to snickerdoodles. Every child in the US deserves a car on their 16th birthday regardless of the legal age of the state. I've been eating sack lunches for years to save up the money to buy my kid a car on her 16th. She didn't ask to be brought into the world -- we brought her here! Now that we brought her here, is she supposed to rot at home, or, God forbid, take public transportation (gasp!) Not giving a teenager a car is child abuse.

my parents bought me a car when I was 15, so I would have a year to practice driving a stick shift.

people on here are heartless... her mother said she would get her a car then that's what she expected! you probably told all of your friends too and that really sucks. ignore the dumbasses on this site who have nothing better to do with their days but pick on people because their lives are lame. sorry op but hopefully she has a real car waiting as a suprise...
