I am not sure this kid is for real. If he is, I would have to now side with the mom. An automatic Hyundai is more appropriate.
She doesn't drive manual, she says it's hard work.

I am being serious, me and my dad have been shopping for used S2000's for a month already. My mom doesn't trust me driving, and she's too scared I will die in a car accident. So she worries alot about me.

My mom doesn't want me to have a manual. I was using the Si as a factor for getting an s2k. From what I've been told the insurance rates are almost identical to the s2k. My dad can teach me how to drive manual, its just my mom doesn't like me driving around period.
Oh yeah my parents are asian...

I think you should get a beater manual car first practice on that then move on to the S when you can actually afford it yourself or show your mom that your a responsible driver, enough to gain her confidence in you then bug her about it again. But IMO the S isn't really a beginner car.

IMO they should simply sort this out themselves and then lay down the law.
An S2000 for a first car in high school just isn't a good idea. I know you don't understand that now, because i didn't when I was in high school, but i still had a 96 civic sedan sideways in canyon roads.
Of course, back then i was immortal.
On the other hand, if you do get it, when you total it, that raises the value of the rest of ours.

Basic breakdown of whats happening. My dad encourages me to get the S2000. My mom on the other hand doesn't want me to have a manual sports car. If I'm paying for most of it, how come I can't choose my own car then?
I have argued constantly with her, and she isn't going to agree with me buying a used s2k. I've also told her that the insurance is almost the same as the 08 Si. Any suggestions to help me out?
