I was also going to have him read over the paperwork, but now I'm so angry I just would rather do it on my own. May even by able to call the sales guy and see if he'd drive my car over to my office and pick me up. Who knows.

Have you ever tried baked beets? They're almost as sweet as candy with a lower glycemic load
I can't take it anymore.
You're driving me nuts with this beets are beautiful rap.O.k. Listen up: Now, THESE are delicious!!
(And it's a no beet zone.)

You already have the price and interest rate, right? You are an adult and you are capable of reading a contract. If you want to, @ajrwdwgirl had a great idea, order Uber or Lyft, take care of your car by yourself.
You can do it.
I’m not recommending family drama or betrayal.. but this is something for you, paid for by you.. You are the only one who should determine the “when”. I understand that you live with your parents, at some point they have to let you make your own decisions, especially when those decisions do not have an impact on them. Painting your walls a dark color, now then I would be on their side when it comes to ‘control’.

We’ve had a busy day. KI this morning.. then home for a couple hours while I did some laundry and T practiced soccer.. then back out to head to a downtown park, but I found a new one when searching area parks instead.. I’ll share a few of the park pics after I go thru them.. but first, a photo from Kings Island...
Don’t even ask me how!! AND it was only my right foot!! So embarrassing, I just laughed while soaping up as I was walking.

My rambling thoughts only--
Reading between the lines here, it may not be so cut and dry for @StarWarsGirl . You see, she did consult with her dad (the attorney) about negotiating price, etc., and he's been trying to help.
IMO, the real rub here is the point at which he can suggest only so much (based upon his years of experience), and allow her to fly out of the cage--to finish the deal in whatever way she wants. Or, maybe, based upon the intricate, financial negotiations involved in buying a car, he just can't let this deal go down, if it's not up to his standards. He may feel like he has to shield his daughter from a bad deal.
Yet, maybe there's more at stake here than the money . . .at a certain point, there is a fine line about when to cut the umbilical cord.

Is that soap on your sneaker? I'm trying to figure out what happened.

Yes!!!! Girl, I have no idea!! It was the craziest thing!!!!
We went on a water ride, similar to Kali River ..called White Water Canyon.. went right back on again for a second time..
Then, exited the walkway from the ride.. as we were walking I noticed this-
It continued to get worse and worse. T and his friend were cracking up laughing and pointing, people were staring.. my right shoe continued to do this until we left an hour and a half later!!! I kept wiping it off, even tried to wet it in a restroom.. continued to explode with soap.
Absolutely NO CLUE how or why.

Well, I would agree with that, and he did negotiate the deal for me, EXCEPT...
He basically told me today, "You can't go buy your car until I sell this one". And he's taking all the money from it. I said to him, "What difference does it make?" "Well, I want an answer on this one." "You're not buying this new car, so why do you need an answer?" And then he got insistent and it had to be his way. He said to say the deal was in danger and all, and I told him no, I was not going to do that because they were not offering HIM enough money.
He and my mom sold the car tonight. I'm still irritated because this took priority over me getting my new car, and they still haven't explained why. They could have just as easily have done this on Saturday.
I'm just really irritated because if I had gone to do this today against what my dad had said, he would have made things unlivable here, but I should have been able to do it because I'm an adult who qualified and is paying for this on her own.

This should be a happy time for you. Sorry about all the bumps in the road to get to the happy place. Hang in there. Tomorrow is a new day, and believe me, the dealer WANTS to sell you the car, so it will be yours.

That's interesting--never knew that. (I had wondered what the dealer did with our old rust bucket we traded in, when we bought our newer, used car, a few years ago. I mean, "trade in" was a joke--our old car was OLD and was a HEAP. I knew they'd never sell it on their fancy lot with all those pretty, expensive cars, SUVs, etc. Now I have an idea of where it ended up.)
We got $300 for it, which surprised us--it was 14 years old at the time and I can guarantee, it had no KBB or whatever, value at all. At the time, we were even prepared to just drive it to a junk yard & maybe get $80 for scrap metal, so were happy with the $300 we got!)
Yep, there's a certain point that cars get to that a "trade in" isn't worth a dealers time.
Have 'em run it across the scales at a local junkyard, donate it, or roll it off a cliff...!!!!!

I’m sorry that you had to go thru that mess. Glad it’s handled now. No more roadblocks! You’ll have a shiny new car tomorrow.

I'm the same, and always have been. I just have never found the need to not be polite/talk down to people anywhere. It was how I was raised. Even before I ever worked retail myself in my mid-late 40's. My folks set the example. And, they're very loved and well-respected from family to community.
There are two movie quotes I also always think about...
"Just be nice" ~ John Dalton (Patrick Swayze) - the movie "Roadhouse".
"Don't **** with people that handle your food" ~ Monty (Ryan Reynolds) - the movie "Waiting".
Unfortunately, Jerks are jerks, and usually never change.
But, the rest of us make up for 'em...!!!
