they love my car and tell me how beautiful it is and that it will be a collectable one day.

They cant stand how loud my exhaust is though.

If my father were still alive, I'm sure he'd love my car.

Default Parents

Interesting, I have the exact opposite problem

My 65 year old pop looks for any excuse he can find so he can drive my car. He's always asking if he can take it to get washed, or have the oil changed.

My mom on the other hand has never driven a V8 in her life so I think she's just a little intimidated

God bless both of them

They only hate it when i start it up or come home late at night. I think that goes for all the neighbors around me as well

My dad has actually helped work on the car before (headers) and my mom tries to act interested and asks about all the new things im putting on the car and asks what they do. Then tells me to let my brother watch so he can learn about cars

Sounds like you got parents that, if they werent your parent, you wouldnt like them. Sounds like they think they are better than others. ARROGANT. Not hatin', just observing. Dont take it they wrong way. Probably good people, just a little "upper class".

No, your wrong.


They are just an older crowd and dont appreciate these cars the same way we do. They are not being arrogant in anyway whatsoever, they just prefer something else.

my mom loves it. I took her over 100mph for the first time in her life, and she said it was awesome.

my dad on the other hand said " that thing is a cop magnet"
..i guess he also forgot to say babe magnet too

my parents dont like me modding it while i'm in school. But that is understandable.....b/c when i start doing something to my car in the middle of a semester i end up dropping classes or doing shitty.

BUT.......when i first bought the car my dad took it for a drive while i was at a friends house. We were all standing outside shooting the **** when he came rolling up. He stopped in the middle of the road, revved it up and dumped the clutch! He smoked the tires pretty good! I was actually impressed. Of course when i got home he told me not to be doing what he just did. And then about a month ago i got my whole family to come watch me at the drag strip. And my mom was actually CHEERING for me while i was going down the 1/4 mile! I love it!

My mom loves it, she's had a 78 Z28 that my dad bought her as a wedding gift, then in 94 she bought a black v6 that was supposed to end up my first car when I turned 16 in 1999 or she'd have got the Z28 for herself. She has only seen this one once since I got it and said it sounded bad ***... (Longtubes and a ORY, no catback lol)

My dad on the otherhand has lost appriciation for modified cars, his take is if you mod them they break. This coming from a man who's first car was a modded 71 Mach 1... I can tell sometimes he likes it though, just wouldnt ever drive something like it himself anymore...

My parents both like my car, my dad calls it "the hot rod" lol. They seem to be amazed by how clean I keep it because I tend to be some what of a slob inside their house. The first time I took my mom for a ride I punched it in second at about 4 grand and just about gave her whiplash. ( she wasn't too impressed with that haha)
