i know the feeling man. i love my pops to death but there have been times when him and i have had arguments like that but i respect him to much to let myself slip up and ruin everything i have with him. its just not worth it and it makes you a better person by holding yourself back

Hey guys
This question is mostly directed towards teens, but i could use advice from any modders who r parents 2.
I'm mostly a troll in the forums b/c i kno how to use the 'search' function :P
I have a problem that I don't think there have been any threads on, tho i doubt very much that it is a unique problem. This may be a bit of an 'elephant in the room' type of problem, but here goes...
I'm 16 years old and my first car is an '03 g35 sedan. My parents payed for half of this and I paid half with money that i had saved up, we bought it about 4 months ago. I'm pretty much working my *** of in school and i don't have time to get a job, so i have absolutely no cash for modding. My birthday just rolled around, so i'm trying to milk that a bit, but my parents don't want to give me more than about $100 for that, which i appreciate, but, as you all kno, wont get u far in terms of modding. I've got two questions: one, any tips on making more money (i do things like help around the house, but dont get paid 4 it). My second, more important question is how to convince my parents to let me mod. As of now, my only mod is a hard-wired after-market bluetooth system and idk how to convince my parents to let me get things like a plenum spacer, good tune, etc. My parents have both driven the g35 and kno that it has power to spare, so they're scared to give me any more. My dad, who primarily controls finances in our house, has spun NSXs and testarossas (under unexpected circumstances, of course) and the only car he's ever had tuned was a '72 F40. The tune ****ed up the whole system and it took him 4 months to fix it. I have no idea how to convince them to let me get any cosmetic or power mods.
Any input is appreciated,
thanks!

I just turned 17 last month and my parents got me a whole bunch of sand paper from 100 grit all the way to 2000 grit.
I used it to polish my engine parts: intake manifold, air intake tube, timing belt cover, coolant overflow tank, power steering fluid tank, nuts, bolts, and strut tower bar. It was very easy to do.... kind of... my back gets sore after a while.
I also did a full wire tuck with a little help from my girlfriend and I had extra touch up paint to paint my valve covers and battery covers. All the other tubes and stuff my friends gave me cuz they are all ballers and have extra parts laying around.
As for jobs, I work at a tennis club in Manhattan Beach assigning reserved tennis courts to a bunch of old rich people and they give me really good tips.
Here is my engine bay.... I only spent 5 bucks on the touch up paint.... it's just alot of sanding:
Good luck!
Hey look, everyones asleep, time to go ********** to the anything goes section! Sweet... my dad has some KY jelly he left in the downstairs bathroom!

Yeah, and she has been working hard ever since my dad passed and my brother is married so I will not regret me hanging with her on Saturday rather than with some chick. Ppl can call me what they want. And the reason I'm looking for g is her too, I really want a 5spd wrx but she likes g coupe or a sedanso I think I will go with a g bcus it's a great looking car and looks very comfy by looking at the pics of the interior.

One time, someone jacked my valve caps off my 20" HREs.... bastards, those things were expensive cuz they were polished valve caps! It took about an hour of polishing all four perfectly! They're just jealous...

Once you do it, it will look much better! The only thing being so young is that there are soooo many h8rs out there... damn... My dad axes me where I'm going and if the place is kinda ghetto, then we take my girlfriends 2002 civic 4 door.
