Whatever you do, please don't become one of these kids.

Man, i think your dad might be overreacting a bit, I know you were speeding but at least you weren't racing someone else. When I was 15 I wanted to learn to drive standard transmitions but my dad kept putting it off till I started taking his car while he slept, well long story short, I crashed it, there was a truck with like a 1.5 foot boat hinge parked next to the street and I hooked it at the tire and ripped halfway through the door. He said I wasn't gonna get my license, but I spoke to him and told him nothing like that would ever happen again and two weeks later he allowed me to get my license. Also it would be wise, for the future, that you get a part time job to pay for your own insurance and slowly become a little more independent.

Rebel-I know my dad, and if he makes me sell the mach there is no way in hell he's gonna let me get another car that can hit 100mph so easily as the mach did or come close.

Ninja-If I am forced to sell the car and get a differentslowercar, it willprobably have to be an economy car and no I will not rice it out.

DM1-My dad already told me that if he ever caught me doing anything stupid or I got a speeding ticket in the mach it would be to move out on my own, pay for my own college and pay my own rent and food bills. So, Ithink I am screwed, especially since he told me to put the car up for saleon a few internet sites. I already work now too. I have a 32-40hr work week depending on myschedule and really don't want to work more than Ialready do now.

I don't think I deserve to sell my mach just because I do 100mph on the highway from time to timein a safe manner, but if my dad does thanI must obey his orderb/c Ican't afford to live on my own, pay for my own college, pay my own rent, and afford money for food, car insurance, and gas too.

the thing that your dad might not realize is that most cars on the road today hit 120+mph, unless he's gonna make you get a hybrid, and you can get killed 120mph no matter what car you drive, being a corolla, civic, accord, hell even kias are hitting 120 now. I just feel a lot safer doing 120 in a car that was meant to do it instead of a car that wasn't.

I know this sounds super corny but write him up a mature letter of apology (at least) acting like you are ready to accept the consequences and are trully sorry for the mistake in judgement....if that doesnt work, pass him in the 4 door family sedan doing 120 (even if it takes 20 minutes to do it) and he'll realize its not the car- its the driver
