Congrats on your decision. I did not have anyone buying a car for me, but when car shopping 6 months ago, my two primary choices were a c-5 corvette and a TCH. I ended up with a TCH (helping my daughter study up on global warming pretty much sealed the deal). I am 45 years old, so I really don't have anyone to impress but myself. Come to think of it, even when I was your age I didn't have anyone to impress but myself. YMMV.

Enjoy your TCH. I know you will.

ps. It is good that you appreciate your parents. Make sure to tell them that you will take very good care of them in their old age. I make my 9-year old promise to do this all the time. ;-)
