ok, update:

my dad is giving the thumbs-up....as long as I can convince my mom to go along with it. It won't be easy, since she has no interest at all in anything related to cars, nor does she understand my love of cars and modifying/racing them. to her, cars are just machines that were put here to go from point A to point B. she bitched and moaned about my Camaro, but my dad talked her into it. The T/A may be slightly easier for several reasons:

A. Liability-only insurance. The Camaro required full coverage since I took out a loan to get it. The T/A will be bought outright.

B. My performance in school. I've been through 6 classes at Lincoln Tech so far, and I've maintained a 4.0 GPA and a 100% attendance record in every one. Can't get much better than perfect.

C. Steady job. I work 5 to 6 days a week, for 6-8 hours a day. not a great job (seafood dept. at Shop-Rite) but I have a steady income to pay for things.

Hopefully, she'll see the light and agree with my dad and I about the car.
