I am 25 but Both my parents like it. I think they were just happy i bought a new car and got rid of my old junker.
My dad drove a few times and i think he thought he was the star of the fast and the furious. and my mom just told me she thought the color was pretty. she s still driving her 1994 Plymoth Voyager so she doesnt really care i think.

My mom thought I was crazy when I put my exhaust on my brand new WRX, a few more modds and I was still getting the "What happened to the stock part did It break?"
Then she damn near died when she opened the box of my DOM 3.0R, she waited for me the walk in the door from work and was like "what the hell are you doing now!"
Best one was when I told her I had to start saving so I can build an Engine to replace the one in my 07 rex ahha!
My dad on the other had helps out when I'm modding something, hes always been a car guy same with my brother. He just needs to learn how to shift fast cuz he always pegs the REV In first gear.... Hes not used to how fast It Is

First gear, especially in the STI 6 speed can be a real pain in the ***. I'm all the way through it in under 2 seconds usually. And I'll be damned if you can downshift to it. *rude gesture at my 1st gear*

Whenever I have the task of dropping my parents off somewhere (that's why they helped chip a grand or two in for my 00 2.5RS), my mom says, "At least it runs well." No one else in this household can drive them to the station when they're going out of town for Reno. I used to drive a broken *** 92 Integra that had weird thermostat issues and blown shocks. So they're just paying for their own safety. If that's silver spoon, then whatever. My car's bone stock, I have no money to mod it anyway.

my mommy bought me my car cuz it had low mileage and it was new. i wanted an older sti or evo with higher mileage but she said anything above 15k miles is too much...
whenever she rides in it, she says the doors are too thin and that the suspension is too stiff. everytime we go up a hill my dad says, "this car has a turbo"
yea dad i knew that...

They care enough to let me put my car in the garage when i am off to school during the weekdays =]
My parents didn't like me modding it but they careless now.
They only complain when they are in the car. Its loud, not enough sound deadening, too stiff, "feels like a race car" haha
They got use to it hehe

Surprisingly enough, they both love it!
My mom likes subies so now that when she's driving and sees one she waves... Keep in mind that she drives an E Series benz.

i blame my parents for me driving fast cars.
my moms not allowed to drive my cars tho...because she thinks shes in a nascar. but she likes to ride with me cause its more comfortable and less noisy than my honda :laugh
my dad HATES driving the STi.... doesnt like the clutch...he perfers his integra clutch and complains hes too tall to ride the STi. but appreciates the car itself... but still likes my prelude more.
