Of course they wont trust you, everybody is an idiot until they are 30-35ish. I'm 39 and am still an idiot at times. I don't think my parent-in-law's liked me until a few years ago. And we've been married 15 years!
Also, if you want them to like you, don't refuse to name your daughter after your wife's grandma because it was the name of your smelly family dog with no hair. Furthermore, don't relay this information to your mother-in-law. |

I think it all comes down to how you treat her and her family, not what car you drive. If you don't act like an ass and are respectful, you'll be fine.

I have a daughter and when I was your age I drove an '83 Z28 to pick up her mother. My example would be always show the utmost respect (doesn't hurt to clean yourself up a little either). Especially in front of the parents. You just have to show them that you are an ok guy. I think that silence is your enemy. The better these folks know you, the less the car will matter. That said, you have an initial hurdle to clear, but assuming you are a good kid who knows how to present himself like a gentleman- you'll be fine. Unfortunately, I don't see that many kids around.

Being a father of a good looking daughter I wouldn't care about your car as long as you had a job that could pay for it. My daughter is presently dating a dude that has no money and doesn't take care of her like I want him to.

As the father of a 16 year old daughter i can tell you respect goes a long way. You treat my daughter....wife and myself with it. You will get it right back. My daughter has a friend with a 2012 subaru wrx sti. This car is a beauty. When i see him on the streets around town he is driving like he should be. So when he comes by to pick up my daughter i dont mind her riding with him. Hes polite and mannerly.

My daughter's boyfriend has a GTO that has been modded up the wazoo. But he drives it very conservatively (at least while I am watching). He shows me plenty of respect, treats my daughter right, and knows how to treat a car right. I think I have driven his car harder than he has. I have no concerns with a young man that has so much going for him.

Basically, it all boils down to respect. I had quite a rough first time meeting my girlfriend's mother (met her father on a later date).
I was on my way to play a huge show in NJ (for you nj locals, it was starland ballroom), and, being in a metal band and having an image to put on for shows, the black torn jeans, black sleeveless hoodie, etc. were all out of the closet. I texted my girlfriend to tell her I was on my way. Mid-travel, she replies saying her mom wants to meet me. Considering that, at least in the eyes of most parents, I looked like the biggest piece of shit in existence, I started to panic. I arrived and bit the bullet. I ended up leaving the house with her daughter, a free dominos pizza, and a sense of accomplishment from still being able to put a smile on her mother's face, despite my appearance (i made a cleaner appearance on a later date). A year and a half later, I'm still with her, and now her entire extended family loves me. TL;DR Respect her, and respect her parents 3x more. Everyone wins.

You probably would not have faired as well if dad had been there.
