Hello Everyone! First off I would like to apologize for by absence. I have been incredibly busy and unable to really be part of this community. Although I am but a novice with still very little posts I still want to extend my greetings to all the fellow new members that have come here during my all too long time of leave. With that said I would like some zhp related help.
The e39 bmw I currently own, well family car, is on it's last legs. Hell that's an understatement. Pops has offered for us to get a car of my choice, both myself and him would chip in and then pay it off over time. His prerequisites was that it had to be a bimmer and it had to be a four door. Chaching Jackpot. Zhp hole in one. What's the problem I'm sure you all think? The problem is if we do get the Zhp. Then for starters I'll lose the independence factor I have been gunning for all my life. It also won't be my own car as much as I'd want it to be. So putting goodies onto it would be quite limited. Another more important factor though is that me and pops don't exactly see eye to eye in a lot of things. So much that if we were to come to a disagreement in the foreseeable future, he could use the car as leverage in some way. I don't mean it in a way as me doing bad and he rightfully punishing me by taking away my driving privileges. But in the way that he could use it to gain the upper hand in whatever we don't see eye to eye in.
So should I take the chance? If i do, the car will be mine and i can do whatever I'd like as long as i kept family in mind. That obviously means no sound system T.T. Or other gadgets that could bother my parents or sister. I would love to take the car, just because it puts me ahead by 2 years at least since that would be the soonest i could get the car on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
