My problem, when car shopping was what my parents wouldn't let me buy. I had
$1250
of three summers work saved up. I wanted an '80 midget and Dad said no, it's
too
unsafe. So, I found an '86 Pl**outh that was on fire once. Yep, this is the
same
car whose horn would sound when it rained because the DPO didn't know his ass
from a
wiring diagram. This same car came with a computer system that fried itself
into a
black pancake because of the faulty wiring.
My problem was my Dad was hitting his second childhood/midlife crisis about
that
time, and I don't think he wanted me driving around in a classier car than his.
