One Of The Things I Wanted Most!!

Hi-- One of the things I've wanted most was to pick out and have my own car. Ever since the begining of the school year one car has stood out of the whole lot and I've wanted it so badly. Well, I've got my chance. My parents don't understand. I've watched my sister beg and plead for car after car after car and get something totally opposite of what she wanted (most of the time it's only lasted for a few months before it's broken and not running). For the same cost and quality she could get a car that she desired. Now it's my turn to beg and plead for the same thing. And the thing is the car I've desired. My parents don't understand that after watching my sister pursue something she wanted and watching her fail has always made me want to pick out my own car and suceed in getting it even more. Well, for my parents it's $400 plus insurance. For me it's $600 plus gas. For them, it's not a lot. I would take care of it and do anything for the best for it. My parents think that the car is crap. I know for a fact the car is better than the one they are planning on passing down to me. The one they want to dump on me has numerous problems. The seats and mirrors don't adjust so I have to turn around to see where I am going (and for me that is a lot because I can't drive and not look where I'm going, and I am short so I have problems reaching the pedals and I have to sit on pillows to be able to get to where I can of which it's very uncomfortable), the brakes are going out, the steering locks up so I can't turn (I was almost in an accident this morning while trying to turn, when the wheel locked up), there aren't any brites so I can't go to places where it's pitch black, the radio is going out, the interior is completely falling apart (today a part in the back fell off), the wipers scracth, not to mention the transmission is going out (so people get behind me can't go anywhere because the car can't go), among other things. I feel as though buying this car would make things a lot easier and me a lot happier. My mom works so on days when there isn't someone to pick me up, which is about 29 out of 31 days of the month, I have to wait and now with my mom's new schedule I would have to wait two hours at the school, I'm not allowed to get rides with people because she doesn't trust anyone and I'm not allowed to walk. Not to mention that my mom wouldn't dream of asking someone to pick me up. She couldn't imagine inconviencing someone to take care of me for 15 minutes. I see that he wants to sell his car, I want to buy, and the price is dropping everyday. It's at $1000 right now and I would pay $600 and them $400 plus insurance which makes it about even. What I want is for me to have to courage to ask my mother, my parents to have some faith in me and trust me, and for my parents to have to trust to trust the seller of the car, and for me to be strong through all this.My mother is the biggest part of the problem, because she doesn't have any faith, doesn't give me a chance to present my case, and is judgemental not to mention she doesn't want her baby to have a car because she doesn't want me to grow up. I forgot to say this but I'm adding it in now. They bought my sister 4 cars and are helping her on her 5th of which it is a brand new car. I don't understand why they can't do the same for me. I feel that if they were to trust my judgement on this and have faith and go with me on this that things would be a lot easier and make me happier. I don't need a brand new car. In fact this one is quite old. It works and a lot better and them not listening and understanding about it hurts so bad. I haven't said a word to my parents since my mom got home. I don't have the courage to say anything because my mom is so judgemental, she won't hear me out, and that is why I am so upset over it. I am crying right now and I know that I won't be able to get one word out without me breaking down and them getting more judgemental and then it'll just get worse. Please pray for me. I am. I have been and it hurts so bad I can't wait for God to completely take over and help me out. Thanks for sticking with me this far. Jennifer Anna P.s. All feedback is welcome. Just so this doesn't get deleted for not being in the prayer category. All Feedback and replies are welcome.
