Mommy and Daddy said you couldn't spend anymore $ on your car? Or they said " if you can afford to paint the car you can afford to give us rent"?
They just said I couldn't spend anymore money on my car since I had spent so much already and that my next big purchase needs to be a house and I needed to save my money instead of dumping more into the car. And yes they mentioned that, about I would start paying rent if I wanted to keep spending money on my car, but they didn't wanna see me piss my money away on my car or rent when I could be saving it all for a house. I understood and decided I should sell to get even more money because seeing that 20% down is a crazy amount to have saved up
