How do i convince my dad.......?
Well I got my license 4 years ago, and I don't have a car!! My dad won't let me work because he says it will interfere in my schoolwork..so i can't really buy myself one, I HATE asking people for rides and crap..He bought himself, and my bro a car..but not me. I've been takingg classes all summer, and I had to freaking walk a mile to the train station, then transfer to a bus and get to school! .. I swear he would have never let my brother gone thru this..
Now he claims he wants to buy a "beach house" in florida...that umm we'll probably never live in....why can't he be reasonable and buy me a car! I'm not even asking for something luxurious..i don't even care if i get a 93' honda...just something that can get me to school or wherver i need to...
am i srsly asking for too much? how do i convince him that i REALLY need a car ?(as if it's not obvious enough already) ..

Perhaps you can try the "safety" angle...that your long walks alone or asking for rides will put you more at risk for a mugging, or worse...and that if you only had the security of your own transportaion that would be a safer option? ...just a thought. Or, try to get a job at a "car" related business, such as a car dealership or car rental agency...as long as one of the "perks" of the job includes "free" transportation with one of their cars. Kind of a tricky situation you're in...you're probably around 19? ...it's time to have your own car.
Tell him the car with give you your own freedom. When you have a license and no car of your own than its not worth it to have the license at all. Tell him that people give you rides and sometimes you should be the one giving the ride. Or be able to go where you want when you want. It will add a little more insurance but tell him its for the best and 4 years your probably in college and once you get out you'll need a car so it would be wise to get one now. Its not like smoking or anything but 4 years is a long time to wait and to get a another house before you buy your child a car. Thats just mean.
Tell him it's not fair cuz he buys your brother one and then he's considering buying a frikin beach house?!
Explain that HE doesn't NEED a beach house as much as YOU NEED a car.
And plus while your brother gets to drive a car, u keep having to ask ppl for rides and having to walk to the train and then take a bus. And make sure u tell him u dont even want something TOO expensive or fancy. *Just a regular car that's nice and can get you places.*
i think its not fair that he would get ur bro a car and not you.. maybe you can try to ask him why he did that and tell him that it would be much easier for you to drive to school rather then having to walk , ride a trian then take a bus and i also think it would save you money if you had a car to get to school instead of paying for a trian/bus ticket all the time
hope this helps!
good luck
You're not asking for too much at all, especially if he already bought your brother a car and you're willing to work for the car.
I don't know how to convince your dad you need one but I wish you the best of luck on that and I hope you succeed.
walking is good exercise. I was 30 before I got my own car. Sometimes I think we are really spoilled and don't appreciate what we do have. Count your blessings and enjoy the time you have with family and friends.
Its unreasonable of your Dad to do this to you.
However if you are old enough to drive I would just go out and get a job if he wont help you. By doing this it might inspire him that your taking responsibility and he might help you get a car.
you will no longer have the potential to even log in on PS3 without severe velocity cable. How would desire to you supply the youngster a PS3 for christmas and not enable him to play on line. He has to have severe velocity purely. I dont think of i know of any physique with a PS3 or Xbox360 without severe velocity cyber web.
Try to present these facts to your dad in a calm way. If you go to him very aggressively it makes men even more angry and they won't want to deal with you. If all else fails, convince him to let you work to facilitate your career.
Umm.... I dont really know.
If you included the race, religion, and current hometown, I am sure I could solve your problems
