My mom likes the idea. My dad says no. And I kinda have to obey them as I live at home).

My dad did tell me I could take my current car and find a car of the same value and get it. Well, my car (a '99 Mitsubishi Galant ES) is only worth about $5,400. I could milk some more for the new tires and wheels on it though.

So, I'm capping off my search at $6,000 now. Any advice on a car? Yeh I know, they all suck for that much. I was thinking an older Mustang LX. Any suggestions for the poor boy who can't get his Acura?
