I did all my homework and know exactly what I want in the Z and how much I should spend. Then the other night I watched my son, a senior in high school, waiting by the front door for his girlfriend to pick him up for their date. He's a great kid. Good grades. Incredible in sports. Honest. Everything you would want your child to be. Anyway... the Z dream will have to wait. I went to the bank, took out the money from my 370 fund (money from selling the Harley I loved in order to afford the Z), and bought the boy a jeep. Now I just walk around telling myself it will be worth it when I see his eyes on Christmas morning. It's not really helping though. I may have to start drinking.

you are definitely a great parent if my mom hadn't bought my first vehicle back in the day i never would have been driving and probably never been able to get a job to get another. its parents like you that should be inspirations to other crappy parents. you thought of your son before you thought of yourself and thats the difference between being a parent and being a great parent. i applaud your decision.
