That's about what I expected. I have an unopened OEM cover from my EP that I can push on someone over at ephatch for what I paid. I'll just throw the money towards buying a new one.

I'll do my best to be ****-retentive. We have a garage, but being it's my parents' house, I'm not going to start a shitfit to park in it & make my father park outside.

^LOL good choice as i would tell you to stfu lol. some covers are indoor only/outdoor only,etc. w/ nissan paint being so soft im not sure i would use one. ive considered a dust cover but that's it. I was only going to use it while it was parked in the garage also.

On one hand, I want to tell him to go pound sand & let me park my nice car in the garage as opposed to his dilapidated Mazda Protoge (my dad's of the "point-a-to-b" mindset-- nothing wrong with it) outside, but eh, it's his house.

I'm too old to be bitching, haha.

Yeah, I really am. I lived on my own for five years, but I took a job doing leasing work & kind of ended up working for my dad's company, hence my living here out of convenience for both of us.

I was planning to go look for apartments & register for college (I took a semester off & never finished blah blah) the day after I crashed my car, but uh... that got derailed.

I know I wouldn't really have any ground to stand on, hence my not complaining, I just wish I COULD park in the garage.

Haha, I know. The wheels aren't too much more expensive, but the tire prices are blowing my mind. They're basically double what I paid for tires on the Civic.

That's kind of what I'll do, but I'm also trying to save some money to get out on my own, again. At the very least, I'm not going to really mod this car until I've paid off the loan I've taken out. I could realistically have it paid by the end of the year, but I'm also trying to establish credit history, so I need to show a 'pattern of payment.'

I don't know what tires are on the car I'm going check out. I kind of hope they suck so I have justification for doing it all at once.

sheit i would take advantage with the fact of living w/your parents but paying off the loan is the resonable thing. You have to have some fun w/the z though, be forewarned its like a disease.

I mostly just want to move out again. Living at home's really not bad, but having my own place is way better.

G'night, all.
