Got the car

The following week, the male informant called me and asked me, if I could come with him to give a final verdict on his choice 'Acura 3.2 XL'. He lowered his choice by couple of decimal points. I really do not have much knowledge about cars and could not given him a good advice. Therefore I convinced him to bring his mother along. The journey began with a complete silence for 15 minutes, finally his mother broke the silence, and continued saying how she and informants dad were okay with his choice and will try their best to accomodate it.
My male informant gave me a look and looked at his mother and said, I f you guys would have not accomodate my choice then I would have left the house." This statement gave me jolt, how can todays kids bully their parents? Don't they understand the word resposibility?
Ultimately, we reached the Acura car showroom, and the informant and his mother negotiated their way into buying his car. And captured him in his own conditions, where he will go out partying only on Friday's.
Both Mother and son, had a smile on their faces for their own reasons, the informant got his choice of car and the mom struck a deal on a reign of conditions.

Long time no write

Sorry, I apologize to have kept my self away from the postings. Things have not been easy with me lately. Well, folks I have a lot to share with you, it is catch up time.
I got hold of my male informant who is 17 and very tricky, disappears in a jiffy. He was looking for a car, and had planned car shopping with his mother, with just a handful of money which he made the first three weeks of his new job. I placed in a request to his mother and him if I could join the hunt. I was welcomed with open arms, ofcourse, I was sitting in the back seat listening to all their bickering and arguments.
To my utter dismay I hear my male informant lay certain conditions with his mother," if you make me buy a cheap, and non - branded car then watch me go out partying every night and will return home late hours, but if you let me buy what I want then I will go out only every friday night." His mother burst out screaming, trying to explain him the valure of money, and how dare he lays conditions for things which are beyond their reach.
But nothing could break the devotion to buy Acura. 3.5. XL- , the atmosphere generated in the car felt like, you are on a war path where the only slogan is 'buy or die', it is my way or no way.
