Keep listending to your dad, it sounds like he's giving you good advice. I'll tell you something I don't say very often. If you were my son, I would be proud as hell of you.

When I was 15 I almost had my hands on a 1 of 500 special edition Volkswagen I've wanted for years but my dad didn't want to go that far. Had the cash, just couldn't drive yet. Car probably worth 4x what I would have paid now lol. 4 years later I now own 3 other volkswagens and I'm looking at buying a truck to daily. Probably a first gen D150, build a 4 link for the rear and drop it a bit with maybe a mercedes diesel under the hood. 400hp and 600ft-lbs sounds good for a daily.
