the best advice i took from this thread was to have a heart to heart talk with them.
i did today because finally everyone was home and there was time to talk.
we decided together to hold off for now .......they said its no rush and should i decide i need a new car we can always get one later.
well that is my fear for my dart and why i had an issue with this whole thing.....not that i didnt want it....but dont need it.
they expressed to me, that they were thinking i wanted a new car to be like some friends i have nearby from the richie rich neigborhood who all have new cars and such. i am a lot different from those girls because they all have I-phones and glamour clothes. Parents were thinking i was bothered about that when i am really not ....i dont even keep a cell phone and i make my own clothes ......i dont need all the glitz.
They were not even worried about my dart or the reliability of it, they know i can handle an old car.
i hope i dont look bad to anyone here for influencing the hold off ....but i feel better now.
