So, what did your parents get you when you passed matric? Maybe a hug? Lunch at Spur? Maybe a reminder that after 12 years of schooling, there was no other option for you but to pass?

Well, it seems that for some it’s not enough, as one matriculant took to Twitter to show an Audi S3 he received as a gift from his parents. But the real kicker? He took delivery of the car a few days before the results were made public!

He wrote on Twitter: “Since my parents trust me, they bought me this as ‘congratulations in advance’.

Trust you? In advance? Guess congratulations are in order?

According to the teenager, he achieved five distinctions in Civil Technology, Mathematics, Physical Science, English First Additional Language, and Life Orientation.

The S3 Sportback retails for R883 100 and is powered by a 213kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine.
