Need help
Ok so I want to put an 8 point roll cage/ roll bar in my nova...but the problem is I cant do it without my dads approval...I was wondering if anybody can help by giving me some excuses hahah...ive already gone for the safety , but i was curious if there was another angle i could approach...the reason i want to have a roll bar is so that i can put harness' in my car...if there is another option that wouldnt require a cage that is fine...but any help or ideas as to how i could convince the old man would be appreciated hahah

Tell him that the only way to safely mount 4 or 5 point harnesses (which, as he must know, are much, much safer than a lap belt) is with a roll cage (maybe not an 8 point cage, but he doesn't need to know that). Also, let him know that if you simply mount the harnesses to the floor or rear seat area (which you will be forced to do sans cage), your back and neck could be severly injured or you possibly even killed, if ever in a serious accident. It's all in how you sell it.

"But Dad... its mandated to have one for the track."
"Uhm Dad... all the cool kids are doing it."
"Yo Dad... it's a saftey issue, and Im gonna do it anyway. You would like to see me NOT kill myself right ??"
My gawd... its endless...
But like Ralphy brought up... maybe you dont need a full 8 right now. Just get in a 6 and add more as you go along ??
