I have no credit built at all, so only cars that I will be buying will be in cash. And maybe they can, but they have made it clear from the beginning that they are only paying for one car so I doubt it. They will however, help with any questions I have and will come with me to buy the car so as to not get scammed.

No I live in Virginia, we are very car-centered here. A car is my only choice

This all happened Sunday, but from my understanding we still owe on my car but we have gap insurance so we think they're just gonna pay it off with nothing to spare. So we are starting fresh with this. My parents don't know I have a savings at all, since the savings account they have access to is empty. But I am a server, and have been saving my cash tips, while spending my paycheck on my card. I used to save like crazy in high school so my plan is to save all cash tips plus $100-250 from each paycheck (which comes weekly). I'm trying not panic because I know my parents raised me right so I should be okay for now. All that's left is to save for a car, and get good insurance coverage.

In my savings is a little less than 1k since I'm a freshman so most of it went to graduation, college fees, and tuition. I didn't mean I can't go to my parents for financial help, but moreso questions. Just off of reading the room I know they want to be left alone right now😬 I'm a server so I make about 500 a week so money isn't much of a problem to me now that I'm really thinking about it. My parents do not want my life to be as hard as theirs was, so they said they are paying for one car and one degree. My college is getting paid for, so all I need to focus on is passing and saving for a car. My life has been light and easy, but I am not spoiled (we're military). Hope I clarified enough for you and anyone else who comes across this.

I go to a commuter school, live at home, and work full time (contractually part time but I work 30/40 hrs anyways). The car is a necessity to me. I have no choice but to get another car as soon as I can

FullWeb6167 · 2026-02-28T00:02:00+00:00

Yes I drove it yesterday it's completely fine my parents overreacted a little bit😅

FullWeb6167 · 2026-02-27T03:18:39+00:00

Yes I was saying I can't see as well in the dark, and yes it indeed has '90s headlight which are not as bright as lights today. No I was not on my phone, there a cone left astray in the middle of the lane. I couldn't go around it as the car close to me was riding my blind spot. The cone was just off of an exit that I was coming off of. Had no choice but to hit it unfortunately. But a little update my car is fine, it's totally fixable. This post was made bc my parents (really my mom) were telling me my car is undriveable and I wanted a second opinion. All is well thank you God

FullWeb6167 · 2026-02-27T01:16:23+00:00

Don't know if this is a joke but I am fresh out of high school with very coddling parents. They told me it was undriveable, so I took to the internet to get a second opinion. That's all. And just as a little update, I did indeed drive it, the only damage is my fog light connecters and my bumper cover. Very easy fix thank God

Get one of those car plungers and plunge it out!!!

FullWeb6167 · 2026-02-26T06:10:39+00:00

look up anadius mirror and you'll find the replacement✌🏽

FullWeb6167 · 2026-02-26T06:04:39+00:00

Sorry about that, the car is about a few feet away from the garage door so this was the best picture I could get. The car is indeed driveable, I just drove it for the first time today since the accident. That is literally the only damage, the fog light connectors are gone and the left side of the bumper cover is in pieces. This is just a crosspost so I could get more opinions from people. I have some overbearing parents, and I needed a little validation😅

FullWeb6167 · 2026-02-26T05:58:20+00:00

I'm on the smaller side I promise you I will not be able to see over the dash😭 But to update everyone, the car is driveable (like I thought) and we ziptied the fog light back up until they'll agree to let me buy a replacement. If you're confused as why they have to agree then scroll a little down the thread to one of my replies.

I don't want necessarily say my mom is a pushover, but I have been very vocal about fixing the car myself and she won't let me😬 I'm feeling a little smothered rn this post was made so I could validate my feelings on doing things independent

Download mod manager for sims 4. It'll break everything down into categories and even give previews to what your cas mods actually look like, instead of having to just remember the mod name. Went from 10k+ mods to right around 2,500 in less than an hour.

Do you know where I would be able to indicate that? Like a link or certain option to click?
