STEP 1: Dont listen to the other "Haters" on yahoo answers. They're just mad they cant afford Bus fares, let alone a car. Lol
STEP 2: Dig into some information on C-Class Mercedes Benzes. impress them on by what you know about them, and dont depend on them when its time to pay for insurance, gas, & maintenance. Hold your own, and they willl hold you down with the car. Plus you can ask for it as a Birthday or Christmas gift. =)
