Default my camaro's gone

well i got in a huge fight with my dad today, he said i'm not allowed to use his garage anymore, and he's going to sell my project because I havent paid it off yet, and I have to move out. I have no idea how i'm going to afford college now, and I dont own a running car. what should I do? The car's in a million pieces, and doesnt run, it was so close to being done.
this sucks. I dont think i have time to part it out, so i doubt i'lll get half of what i've spent on it. what do i do?

Suck it up and do whatever it takes to make up with him. Say your wrong, he's right. He's the best, your the worst. He is the own, you are the suck.

Even if you still think he is worng or whatever with the fight, suck it up if you want all back to how it was.

Just my .02 as your not in a very favorable position or have alot of options it seems.

Unless this is an April Fools joke then STFU.

Olly,

Sorry to hear the bad news. The best thing I can suggest, like the others, is find a way to make up with your old man. And not just to get your car back. Fathers and sons belong together man, and that is way more important than your car. You can always get another one of those. You only get one Dad. Find a way to sit and talk with him and work out whatever it is that set this off. Good luck with it. PM or email me if you need an ear.

Pat
