don't you have a car that is paid for? if so, stick with that. or get a job that will allow you to have the toy. don't push it again or else you'll dig yourself deeper. get your debt with your parents paid off first.....owing family money is never good.

i forgot to mention that.. the motor in the car is burning oil bad and the car is about had its time. no doubt the car runs great and gets about 18 mpg but dad doesnt think its gonna be very relaible and doesnt want me to sink anymore money into it. my parents are cool.. ive got a good job that i will be able to pay them and the car note.. what im afraid is that i wont be satisfied with a stock car for long and wont want it anymore.. damn me for being rasied up with muscle cars and joing this site LOL

DO you like your parents? Get whichever would be cheaper on insurance then,and then tell them what a good thing you did by saving them some $$$ on the insurance.

Well I dont know what was your first car, but mine was a 89 Camary which I still got. Maybe you should get a reliable "jolopy" like mine. No payment no stress. I never had the toys I got now with some discipline, I had to wait and stick it out. Make a decision upon balancing out budget, quality of life,etc., it will save you stress and aggrivation in the long run.
