Yeah well I expect him to have a little more faith in me. though he has riden in the passager seat with me driving and has a lot of driving experience himself
But were not talking about a sports car, were talking about a 19 year old car with 190k miles on it lol I guess though I have to prove that I can drive responsibly on my own for him to feel safe. I just got worried that he became to much of a old man and forgot how to have fun with cars (he does drive a mini van now, its a company car so its not by choice just to save his rep a bit lol). I guess once he can trust me with the power it will come
yea, my first car was going to be an 89 gta, my grampa was gunna help me buy it, but then he asked me wat motor was in it, and i told him a 350, and he said it was too powerful for a 17yr olds first car, so he bought me a 91 dodge colt for my graduation gift cause i was beat up about not getting the gta. so it worked out for me, my first car was free. just listen to your parents man. just get a differant car for now and show them ur responsible, then save up and look for another supra, theyre always up for sale.
really, how fast IS this anyways? it it even turbo?
do what you gotta do…
i’d just chill it out, man. this isn’t like a new vette or an NSX. if you’re living in his house and he’s helping you with insurance (for now), you should stick by what he says. prolly will change his mind after a while if you show him you’re responsible.
Yeah man You live at home You are young
Don’t be some retarded punk ass to your parents and go over their head and buy the car.
My first car was a 92 blazer because my patrents wanted me in a big pos so when i did fuck up (it will happen) it doesnt matter
I say just listen to your parents
and when you move out do what you want then
first car should be the biggest POS possible
everyone hits/bumps/scrapes shit with their first
It’s always best to start with a pokey ass car anyways. You can learn a lot more from a slow one than you can a fast one. And you can save the money so you can get it later on down the road.
What’s up with these 16 and 17 year old noobs lately whining about buying cars…buy something reliable…get off your lazy bitch ass and get a job…save your money…and tada buy something that you want and we’ll be able to fix when you try to pimp your ride.
Make him realize how much you want it. If he don’t go for it…
…sneak in his room in the middle of the night and shit on his chest. Then blame it on your sister the next morning, and say that all your sister does is shit on you, and I can’t even buy myself a Supra.
Holy shit, what is everyone like 60 yrs old in this thread?
Seriously, do you think any of you guys wouldve wanted to hear this crap when you were 16? What is everyone like too mature or something now? Trying to help a young “noob” out for his future life?
LOellis Island.
Anyways, the best response I read in this thread is to convince your dad that you will be responsible with it. Thats key.
we’re mature enough to say that without really knowing this dude, that yeah - him getting a supra, albeit an old one - might not be all that good an idea.
it’s not about what the dude wants to hear… it’s what’s gonna keep us from hearing about this thing being totalled in a few months. but it’s all situation specific, maybe he’s madd responsible and his dad doesn’t see it. meh, it’ll work out in the end - if not now, then eventually. if you had a couple 5.0s when you were that age, more power to you… i get the feeling the majority of us on the forum couldn’t have handled something that fast at that age :gotme:
I agree, when I was 17 I moved out, moved out to NY and bought the car I wanted. The only time they had a say was when I was 16, they wanted me to have something more reliable than a 2nd gen DSM (I’m glad he did).
