I hear ya...parents can be a pain when it comes to you and cars. If your parents aren't into cars they won't get why you love yours and want it to go faster. My parents were totally cool with me buying a Mustang...until I started modding it. They couldn't figure out why I was dumping so much money into it (while at the same time my father was building a fucking plane in our basement). When it came time for a second car (I wanted to keep the Mustang on ice as a weekend warrior so it stayed low mileage and clean) I had my eye on a blown '93 Cobra. Even though it was my money, the idea got shot down pretty quickly. I settled on the Sonoma because it was cheap and had a "handling" package. Right...bigger wheels, Bilstein shocks, and lowering springs instantly translate to "handling". More like "kidney jarring". Just convince your parents that newer cars cost more than they're worth usually. Older cars can be just as reliable for a TON less $$$.
