khax Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 You suck i'm trying dude trust me. i don't want to see it go down like this either. i just don't want to be broke my first year in college. i could afford the swap but then if anything else happens with the car i'd be done and that's pretty much inevitable. even assuming i buy some tools and whatnot i would still have a hard time. i'm having family problems and honestly, at this point without some financial support from my parents it's not worth it to invest in fixing it right now. i'd rather wait a year or two and get something really nice that i won't have to keep dropping money into that i'm not going to have when i'm at school.

This all made perfect sense up until you said you just bought a longboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbomoose Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 So what I don't understand is your priorities. You'd rather have your family spend at least $1700 on a MBP, which in my college experience wasn't a necessary item to have. Instead of asking for help repairing your car. You could take advantage of the computers the campus has to offer, and still have your car. And next semester take a low interest student loan for a MBP and repay that on your own, you could even repay your parents for your car repairs if you wanted to. AND you'd be building credit history with your student loan. And you'd probably be able to get a grant for your school tuition. To me, freedom of transportation, especially when away from home is by far more important than a new computer. And a longboard does not equal a car. I got this riding a longboard Fracture: Ouch. That's nearly what my Jaw surgery before my braces were put on looked like. Worse 9 weeks of my life, and the biggest hospital bill Ill probably ever see get paid with insurance. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khax Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 my parents are not letting me take a car to school this year and i don't really want to anyway, eugene is small and flat and it's as easy a place to get around on a bike as i have seen. that's why my priorities are how they are. they have been telling me they were getting me a laptop for school since i was way younger and that money couldn't have been put toward the car. and longboarding kicks ass. i know it's not equal transportation to a car but it's insanely fun. He's probably waiting for his parents to fix it for him. what are you even talking about. anyway i'm leaving. but you guys think i like not having a car or something.. i've tried to justify it in so many ways but it can't happen right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomoose Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Oh well then this changes everything if they're not letting you take your car. Let it sit in their driveway then! They'll probably get it fixed! LOL! But that doesn't make sense to me either. They're letting you go away to school, but wont let you take your car? Why are some parents so hard to deal with? Mine didn't want to let me go away for school after HS. So I worked all summer at my first job, HomeDepot, saved all my money, loaded my car, a Passat, and left. BOY they were pissed. I loved it, and stayed away for 8 years. I think they secretly wanted me to come running home in failure. I can't count the number of ramen noodle dinners I had because I was so tight on money. But I managed to live on my own, go to school, and work and not get into trouble or huge debt. Ah, Parents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the few occasions that I did have one, it was the minivan :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomoose Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 More pizzas fit into a minivan. But then back then I didn't have enough money to fill a car with pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
