I was showing my dad my new box I built today and he just looked at it and shook his head and told me I was gonna get a ticket.. Later today I walk in while he was telling my mom it was a waste of money.. So my question is if anyone elses dad like this? Or do I just have a uptight one?

Yep my step-dad is the same way let me list some of what he has said lol:

"waste of money"

"waste of time"

"waste of space"

"horrible on vehicles/will ruin vehicle (may be true with major flex lol)"

"sounds stupid"

"distraction"

"waste of money"

"waste of money"

o and:

"waste of money"

My step-dad is a farmer too has been all his life.

That's how everybody on my dads side of the family is. One time I was hooking up a little 8" to my room system and my grandpas was like you're gonna ruin everything and go deaf.

System:

Basically Stock

meh he is right it is a ''waste'' of money, as most hobbies are. As long as it's your cash and you take care of everything important first it doesn't really matter. The minute you start to put off payments or not pay bills on time just cause you want a new sub then it becomes a problem.

My dad was pretty awesome about it. He fronted the money for my first system when I was 16 and had a guy he works with help me install it and show me the ropes a little. He doesn't understand it, but over ten years later he still takes the time to see what work I've done. My mom even got excited about it when I told her about the PC going in the car.
