I understand about not wanting a honda, but you may want to think about it a bit. You're holding out for $10K mp3 or $12-$14K p5 that your mom will have to pay for when you could have a more modified honda that you can buy yourself. Also, it's much cheaper to insure, fill up and repair (if needed). Maybe you're not in a position to be as picky as you'd like to be right now!! At least with the honda you'd be able to come out with us on the weekends.
I'm not trying to push you or anything, but my first car was a ford aerostar minivan....and I would've killed for this honda then!
