There's at least 17 things wrong with this thread.....contributing to the "gay miata" cliche IS one of them. Pulling the fuse is not.

Buy a new fuse. Pretend he didn't take it out and just tell him something was wrong with the car and you fixed it Then drive the car into a pole.

I'm pretty sure if iI secretely turboed my car my dad would do the same thing. What is with dads not allowing 17 year olds to drive turbo miatas?

Your dad is just keeping you safe, or trying to at least.

+1 on just go the store and getting a new fuse. But only take the car out when he wont notice its missing.

Here's another "no more miata" picture. I learned my lesson after this one.

I first put my turbo on when I was 18 and my dad was pissed because he thought my car was making a flushing noise. I have a super loud knock-off turboXS bov

Oh yea and the puddles of oil that were appearing under my car.

I dont understand this just on the fact that, how is he gonna learn Uber Epic safe driving skills by not driving? That and the fact that the day he turns 18 he doesn't magically mature more than he is currently. Just like you dont stay the same height all year then the day of your birthday shoot up 5 inches taller than the day before. So I dissagree with the OPs father. I say buy a new fuse and get a new key cut and drive it. But only when he won't notice, he can still kick you out.

my dad wouldn't take it away from me, he'd just steal it for himself.

when he got his mr2 turbo he kept begging me to turn up the boost for him... lowel.

How dense are your ******* parents that they didn't notice a stream of UPS/FedEx boxes coming to their house, and all of a sudden you're wrenching under the hood a whole lot?


Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I suppose.
