Its amazing how the little problems become big ones, when you have it so good. Though things aren't perfect in my life, I have it dam good. You'll be hard pressed to find me bitching about anything, sometimes I vent about a little problem but over time I've come to realize some people would see my life as a walk in the park.

Wren I think you need to put things in persepective and thats what I tried to do with my post above. Just remember you have a nice SUV, forget the sports car. Think about where you are going, the gf and a summer job. Push this to the side for a little bit and come back to the problem with a clear mind, you'll be amazed what a little time will do.

YES...

and trust me when you get to college your priorities will do a complete 180 on you. i thought for sure i was a die hard car junkie and nothing could change that. well... 1.5 semesters into college, i just wana enjoy my time. i still like cars, and always will. but if i had 20g's i know for damn sure it wouldnt all get thrown into a car thats going to be problem after problem(any high power car is BTW) i would get off to college and see if you can justify 20g's for a old car with a supra engine. have you saved money for college? what happens if the car breaks? honestly man, im not trying to talk you out of it, but i think your parents know more than they are letting you believe. nothing is going to suck more to have a blown motor in the wrong car and the lexus or toyota guy scratching his head becuase theres no manual on the car. hybrid cars are awsome, if you wana pour the blood and sweat into them. just look at all your options... have you thought baout $3-$400 a semester for books? i pay about 6500 a year for room.. almsot 2000 for food, tuition is paid for(sholorships)... college adds up... sit your parents down, and have a intellegent conversation with them about why they think you cant have the car, and do not blow up if they say something they dont like, remeber theres more to life than cars
