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.
