I would be upset too. Maybe it's time to take matters into your own hands and start saving up for your own car. When I lived at home, my parents always promised me things and assumed I would forget about them so they wouldn't have to deal with it. I never actually forgot, I just got all mad, but at least it got me to do things for myself.
Good luck.

Maybe you should start saving your money so that you can buy your own car, that way IF your dad does buy you a car then you can use the money you've saved to buy gas since it's so expensive now!

No, it is completely natural to feel jealous of him getting something new when he doesn't get you what he promised. The thing to do is get a summer job and buy your own clunker. This way you don't get your hopes up for nothing, you have your car, and most importantly, you got it for yourself!!! You didn't have to depend on someone else to get it for you.

Maybe he feels you should get a job and buy your own. Learn a few lessons about money.
*edit* He probably charged the new TV and is paying on it. He is in debt!

maybe hes saving up for a REALLY nice car for you because he thinks you deserve the very best. always look for the cloud with the silver lining.
