I'm Off to Meet My Mother...

I've got to be crazy. I'm planning to give my ultimatum to my mother about the car situation: she and my father have two weeks to get me a car. After that, I'm going to get an estimate for the emissions repairs. If I determine that the repairs are not worth the money, I will go to a dealer, get financing, and buy my own damn car. I'm sick of this. Of course, I get to present this little scenario in front of my aunt, and I'd prefer not to drag her into this. Sometimes her presence is the only thing that prevents true savagery between me and my parents. On the other hand, I don't think I'm being unreasonable. My parents have known about the emissions repair situation since at least November. They said they would help me. They have effectively blown me off. Time for them to face facts.
Stay tuned for my after-dinner post.
