Hmmm...Not to be a parent here...But who will pay your insurance on it?  
And gas?  (They get about 15-20 MPG.)  And maintenance, parking sticker?

You need a reality check.  Why would you think that anyone would be 
willing to give a complete stranger cash?  You have 3 options:

	- get a better paying job	
	- forget the Jeep altogether
	- wait 5 years until you graduate and buy one on your own

If you really are in need of a car, get something practical...I'm afraid 
that I have to agree with your parents...

PS:  If anyone wants to donate cash for an SGI Challenge XL...  :-)
