I am asking that people maybe >give up something for one day, and donate it to my dream of getting >a Jeep. [...] 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... :-) Matthew D. Lammers, OSU Class of 1995 -- Matthew D.
