As someone who has a lot of experience manipulating people with unrealistic expectations to lower those expectations, let me try to help you:

I would try to get one of those despicable online jobs, like those people who are basically at-home bill collectors or some other telemarketing scheme or maybe uploading Youtube videos of you playing video games. Some sort of job you couldn't even explain to your great grandad if you tried and even if you did he would be pissed his ancestor was doing it.

You dad sounds like a decent upsetting person, so he will ask you why the frick you are doing that sort of job.

That is when you lay on him "well if I had a car I could drive to a job you will actually respect. This is the best I can do without a car. Just doing what you told me to do dad the best I can."

At that moment your dad will learn the error of his forced Catch 22 and buy you the car on the condition that you get a job in retail or something where he won't be embarrassed to tell his friends what you do.

You need to keep to that promise, but via this manipulative plan you will get a car without having to walk or bus to a decent job like he probably is intending you to do.

Thank me later.

one positive doesn't make someone decent. It's a start. A broken home contradicts. As far as the car, sounds like the father is using it as an excuse, and a good one at that. If the mother wants op to have a car, she can buy him one or at least initiate the purchase and when op gets a job, the father can pick up the payments.

Online survey company. I had pretty bad insomnia in college so I signed up for a few of these companies to pass the time. Takes very little effort, and you can get anywhere from $0.50-$100 per survey set (the $100 surveys are rare...expect $0.50-$5.00 per survey set). You can do the surveys whenever you want, there no minimum or maximum number you have to do. Depending how committed you are, you can actually make a decent amount.
