If you want to be taken seriously, here or anywhere, you may want to rethink your actions in your life so far\, perhaps doing thinks a bit differently.

If I was stupid enough to tell my dad how the car was destroyed, I wouldn't have deserved another one. Do you think I'm an idiot?
BTW, he doesn't read this board, either.

my first car was a brand new Cavalier my dad bought when I first got my license and I sideswiped a bridge on purpose so he'd have to sell it and buy me a cooler car. I though I could talk him into a new Honda which I was going to slam and install a turbo.
That's how I got my first BMW (a 528e). My dad wanted me to have a "safe" (BORING) car. I hated the looks but actually liked the handling. I totalled it racing Mustangs. Went thru 2 clutches and a head (threw the timing belt downshifting into 2nd way too fast-OOPS), but it was so slow that I totalled it braking too late into a corner to wipe another Ford ass. I told my dad it was totally his fault for thinking slow cars are safer.
Finally he got me a 535 and I added a bunch of goodies (cam/Nitrous/high pressure fuel regulator/headers). Now I can drive fast safely and I haven't had an accident since then. No Mustang in town will challange me anymore in fact. I am 19 and a really good driver cuz of that car.
