almost any vehicle would do
Tomorrow I'm having lunch with my father. I plan on asking him to help me get a new (used, but new to me) car.The thing is, I'm deathly afraid of my father. I hate asking for anything, let alone something this big. The man makes almost a quarter of a million dollars a year, but he's not fond of sharing it. If you spoke with him about finances, you'd swear he made just slightly above poverty level.
A few years ago when discussing taxes, I figured out that he pays more in taxes a month than I had made all year.
So, he's more than capable of helping me; it's just that he usually won't. I'm desperate though, and I really need a reliable car.
I�m not picky. There are only a few things I�d like in a car that I don�t have in my current one:
Heat
Air conditioning*
Airbags
Seat belts
Power windows/locks*
No body damage
A radio that plays FM, too*
Brakes that work all the time
See, not picky at all.
I�m hoping my success so far in this whole mechanical engineering endeavor will persuade him to help.
Wish me luck.
