Wrangler Worries

So for Christmas I only asked from one thing: a cherry red Jeep Wrangler. I've been asking for one for two whole years and every time I see a Wrangler drive by, I would basically drool over the steering wheel. But much to my dismay, Christmas morning came without a new vehicle in the driveway.

But I am hopeful for my birthday, which is in fifteen days. It's the big ONE EIGHT (18) so maybe my parents will make an effort. I told them that I would help pay for it with the work money I have earned so far, so it's not like they would buy it all by themselves. Also, I like the older Jeep models before 2007, where the body was narrower and they don't cost as much.


As I previously said, I have a 2006 Cherokee, so I'm used to the Jeep style and make. I work at the beach in the summer and I always drive with the windows down, so a Wrangler would be just perfection. Plus, the beach is populated with Wranglers, so it would be torture if I didn't get one and had to work in the summer again.

But what exactly is the protocol for buying a new car for your kid? Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to like make a contract or something with my parents? I mean, I've been wanting this Wrangler for two years, and it still hasn't happened, and I've shown my mom all the Wranglers within our price range, but my parents still haven't committed. I certainly have.

And the thing that really peeves me, is here at my school, there are so many big four door Wranglers that parents have just bought for the kids once they ask for them. I know, I have to be patient, but I've offered to pay for as much as I can and don't even want a new one like everyone else. So hopefully, by the end of the month, a Wrangler will be sittin in the driveway.
