I saved since I was 10 to buy what I always wanted - a fast first car. When the time came to buy a car (few months before I turned 16), of course, my dad pulled the old hypocrite and told me that "a camaro is not a first car", forgetting of course what his first car was. 3 guesses what it was. yep. a camaro. followed by a chevelle, and then another camaro. So anyway, I ended up buying a mazdaspeed protege to quell the need for a moderate amount of speed at least for a while. I kept it in real good shape and didnt beat on it - never got any tickets or got in any accidents or anything despite my moms claims that the car was too fast (mid 15 second quarter mile? way too slow.). So anyway, randomly a month ago, even though I've been shopping for SS's for years now, my dad finally took to the idea. I had the green light from him to buy a camaro, dont know how or why, maybe he felt like a kid again looking at them for me. Dont know. So anyway I've been looking to buy one for like a month now, frantically trying to sell my car (its in really good shape and low mileage, shouldnt be that hard) to get an LS1 F-body before he changed his mind becuase he literally NEVER says that I can get anything until im 2 seconds away from buying it, then he approves, so this sort of behavior was odd for him. today he comes into my room - "you can forget about getting a camaro, your mother and i talked it over and we dont want to see you wrapped around a tree - its too much horsepower and youre very irresponsible." W. T. F. this is seriously like a dream ive had for years. to buy an SS, and he says i can for a MONTH - I've probably looked at 4121052918 F-bodies for sale since he gave the green light - and now he CHANGED HIS MIND? I'm gonna go crawl in a hole. hhahaa, im 17 by the way.

Sparknotes; dad says I'm still too irresponsible for an LS1 even though I've never gotten any tickets or wrecks in my car - how does that make me irresponsible? Who knows. How can I convince him to let me buy one? Its not like he's paying for it, i'm paying cash for it. . . hahahahaaah pleaseeee helppppp, i was soooo closeeee!


oh, and if you know anybody that would want to trade an LS1 f-body for a mazdaspeed protege to save some money on gas let me know - if I can trade and pay cash, or better yet make an even trade, then I can basically just bring it home as a surprise =P
