I'm soooo ****ing furious. He says he doesn't want 3 things:
1) Doesn't want me to borrow money. Says I should wait till I have cash ready.
2) Doesn't want me to spend 30k over the next 5 years.
3) Doesn't think I can afford it...even though I work 80+ hours, and bring home nearly 50k a year...and I have hardly any expsenses. Car payment and insurance are no more then $675 monthly...and I bring home over 4k monthly.
Whatever...that and I've sold my interior, chassis, and motor to a buddy. So now I have no car...and have to find something "more reasonable" for me.

Hey not to be a prick but you might want to think about this from his point of view because (Assuming you live at home with your parents):
1) Doesn't want me to borrow money. Says I should wait till I have cash ready.

He's afraid that if push comes to shove you will have to borrow money for something in the future, car related or not. He will throw it on your face like, "If you can afford an S2000, than you shouldn't ask me for money on anything.... why don't you get your own place since you make good money?"
2) Doesn't want me to spend 30k over the next 5 years.
R
"Why not save for you future like a house, or money for if you ever get married?"
3) Doesn't think I can afford it...even though I work 80+ hours, and bring home nearly 50k a year...and I have hardly any expsenses. Car payment and insurance are no more then $675 monthly...and I bring home over 4k monthly.

I think he knows you can afford it if thats what all your monthly expenses may be. But he'd probably rather see you spend your money on other things like future home, or depending on how he is with you like, "My son is old enough to move out? Why he is freeloading off of me? I should make him pay for the entire mortgage and all the utilities. He should take care of us now.."
So that might be what's going through his mind. Again if you live with him minor or not, he does have a say. He can always kick you out if tested. Again not trying to sound like a prick, but more of a few suggestions on why he's pissed at you.
