Sometimes, parents are just being parents. I haven't lived with my parents for over 6 years now and they still give me a hard time when I buy something new for my car. Their resoning is a little different though....they would prefer that i save my money for a house rather than pissing it down the drain in a car...

So, you still live with them? They are your parents. Maybe you could explain what you want to do first and convince they it's alright before you did it. Or you could just listen to them. Call me old fashioned, but I lived by my parents' rules until I moved out. Thems the breaks, kid. How old are you, anyway? My parents didn't care what I did to my car when I was living at home at 23, but they didn't even let me buy a car 'till I was 19.

haha... my parents yelled at me when i started doing mods to my car. The worse one was coming home with shaved door handles after going ot my buddy's house and doing them. They didn't car for the other mods besides telling me i was wasting my money. They bought the car for me as a graduation present. Everytime i come home with something new my parents just shakes their head now.. cuz they've been yelling at me for 4 years now.. hahahahha

I got pulled over the other day while transfers my license plate from louisiana to texas and i didn't have a plate on the car yet but I driving to the registration place. and the female cop (she was older like 40ish but cool) she says.. what kind of car is this and wheres all the emblems? I told her the truth.. I took them off and never put them back on. Then shes like.. ok. LOL

my parents rant and rave whenever i do some kind of interior mod to my car. they always have and always will. its just a "cultural" difference between us.

... but as soon as i'm driving somewhere with my dad, he starts asking detailed questions about how i did stuff, cuz he'd like to do it to his suv...

its their house and their rules. they also funded half the cash for the car(that i'm almost completely paid them back) and its their insurance, so i can't do anything major like what pimpalero03 did. if i came home kitted and bagged, they would take a bat to the car....

i just live with it...

That really sucks, man... The emblems though? That's crazy.

My parents are pretty cool. They bought me my deck for Christmas, and my dad was out there watching when I installed my speakers. I removed my emblems a couple weeks ago and they haven't even noticed... lol. I'm going to have to clear my corners on a day that they're both gone, just 'cuz I hate being interrogated. Probably the only time I will ever get a hard time for modding my car is when I start tampering with engine related things and most likely suspension too.

Oh well. I hope you get things worked out, dude.

alero_ecotec · 04-18-2005, 03:26 PM

man, i didnt realize you paid for everything.......i guess technically you could call the cops on them if they mess with your car after you've done stuff to it, but thats a little extreme, it would probably get a good laugh on here though

04-18-2005, 03:55 PM

My dads a machanic and has helped me with everoneone of my mods to date.

04-18-2005, 04:47 PM

My dad thinks my car is bad ass, he helps me out with most of the stuff. Hell his old ass races me at lights sometimes, he drives an Audi A6..haha..he doesnt' beat me that much.

All I have to say is wait until you get married! Cause then its not the threat of getting grounded its the threat of having to live with someone who wont sleep with you!! :P
