It's great that you can appreciate your dad like that. I wish more people could appreciate what their parents do for them. This generation is the most selfish ever. My daughter is 2. I'm going to teach her manners and respect. I just hope she listens and is not influenced by today's ugly society.
not sure what part of the country you guys are from...but over here in silicon valley, one of top 5 most expensive places to live in the US, a new car isnt really a big deal. anyone with a job can buy a new car...even a high school dropout
