Funny how, no matter what our age, we still seem to have parent issues. I took my Boxster to show my mom and dad when I first got it. My father's only reaction was "What did you buy that for?" and my mother was chirping something about "old men and sports cars". Out of everyone that has ever seen it, the only people to react with negativity and nasty remarks were my own parents. Nice, eh? Really took the shine off it for me.
To this day, I completely refuse to discus any aspect of the car with them and neither has had, or ever will have, a ride in it. It reminded me of the reason I left home when I was 18 - their similar reaction to a '65 Montcalm convertible that I had the audicity to buy without first obtaining their blessing.
I'd tell your dad to stuff his jetski and go get one of your own. He's got a lot of nerve to even ask to borrow it considering the history - both his reaction to your purchase and his willingness to abuse nice machinery.
