Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General have to get rid of the contour methinks

last night while i was working i lent my car to some friends, and apparently while they had it they threw a salt shaker into the bed of someguys truck. he called the police, they called my parents, they were all pissed at me for lending away the car, so it is in my dad's name and he says he is selling it, i have been making payments on it since day one, and my parents told me as a graduation present they would pay for it while i was in school, but now, they are going to sell the car. SO, i cant pay for it in college, cause if i get a job, i am not allowed to have the car on campus as a freshmen, so I would be working to pay for a car I cant use, plus it will be tough to get to work with no car. Now the no car rule is my parents thing, so I think since i am 18 i will have to get a loan, and get an old car. any suggestions?

Take your growing up problems somewhere else.... This is car site, not a parental crisis resolution center. :rolleyes: You're accountable for your own f*ck ups - Get used to it!

Make your sentences shorter, Bandcamp.

there is always a way around the no car at school rule. I am not suppose to be able to have a car on campus until I have 54 credits. I know people who get someone who can have a car get the parking sticker or I found a loop hole and i got a friend at a branch campus to get me a sticker.

As for your parents they have every right to be mad. You threw away their trust and that is a very hard thing to earn back. But I ask why would you ever loan someone your car? it is almost asking for trouble, but I would have been stuck when my battery died and I used my friends car.

As for the car since you are paying for it, it is technically yours. My car is in my fathers name but that was basically so we could get insurance for the car.

I went the year without having a car and it sucks, I had to pay insurance to let it sit at home. Suck it up and deal with it, better to stay on campus and meet people and learn what goes on, the school should have jobs for students.

As for the other two that jumped at you I think they are very wrong to have done that, you were asking for help and you should get a reasonable answer. When people ask for help you shouldn't slam the door in the persons face.

And note I am 21, I take reponcibility for my actions but when I need help I seek it out

I would move this post to the off-topic area, some may receive it better there

good luck

Called the cops for throwing a salt shaker? BAHAHA! Geez, what an uptight person.

I would try and be apologetic......prove to them you are mature enough to have the car.

um....damn

Let me throw a salt shaker at your rice mobile and watch you not get upset.. Yeah, that's what I thought.. :rolleyes:

ok now the whole story was not for attention it was to explain the situation. THAT GOES OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CANT READ ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POST. 'i will have to get a loan, and get an old car. any suggestions?'did n e one else see this, cause i know i posted it, and NO ONE suggested n e thing, they just commented on the situation.

What is your price range?? Might want to be more specific.
P.S. I would have beat the **** out of my friend if I was in your situation.

Couldn't you pick up a '95 for cheap? My big .02
