First, instead of loosing $40k....which is what you're doing since you'll be using the $30k (which I don't think you'll get) probably to pay for school/food/housing in Boulder. Then be coming out of school wondering where all your money went, why not simply realize it'll cost you around $1200 a year (maybe less) to put the car in storage. Then simply suck it up and work your way through the last 2 years of college? Also, why not just make a deal with your Dad if you need extra money....sort of like borrowing against the car, you should be fine with $10k and if you don't repay within 2 years of graduation he can sell the car (which he'll easily be able to get his $10k back).
