  2. Just Wanted To Share, My Son'S Hs Graduation Gift

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    You should be proud, and your son should be damn exstatic to have a father buy him a new car. I got a kick in the a$$ when I graduated and was told to go make some money. Circumstances changed quickly and my grandfather got me the SS.

     

    I realize not everyone can or even wants to do something like this for their kid. I feel like he earned it, he played football all four years and maintained grades and didn't run around doing the stuff I did at that age. He put in more hours than I do at work. I didn't even graduate so I know how easy it is to do the wrong things, especially in todays society and in our immediate community. He does appreciate what he has , but he does need to get a job for sure, insurance is rediculous.

    I'd def rock that sweet two tone interior. That's one nice graduation present :pimp:

     

    Now he's gonna be asking for stuff like tints, hids, a drop, and some black SRT8 22's for birthdays and Xmas. :D

     

    I didn't mention, he receive well over $1k in cash between all the grad cards. I told him first on his list should be tint then the rest is up to him, wheels, sounds etc..

    We got him a used 2010 Dodge Charger SXT 3.5L V6. Blue w/ black and blue leather interior. I've never been a Dodge fan, but I've been looking at cars since he was 15 and just kept coming back to the Charger. i gotta say. I like this car. if I were to buy one for me, it would have been black with a V8.

     

    P.S. I know I haven't postde on this site in quite a while, I just wanted to share a very proud Papa moment.

  8. 17Yr Old + Sss + Prom =?

    in Off-Topic/General

    I voted yes before I read your post because the question seemed very generalized. My family calls the SSS "dad's baby". My son turned 15 on 4/22/08 and I drove him to get his learner's permit in the SSS. When we walked out, I threw him the keys and said let's go. He had no real driving experience. I was nervous but what the hell, it's a truck and it can be fixed. My son is a good overall kid and I enjoy providing him some of the experiences I never had. He showed little to no interest in driving for almos two years until he was getting ready to turn 17 and I prodded him to get his license. Two days after getting his license, he got a parking permit from high school and asked to drive the SSS. I reluctantly said yes and provided some explicit instruction and rules. He has been driving it for several weeks now with no real issues to speak of. This how I based my vote but obviously each situation requires it's own resolution. P.S. my SS is stock, if it wasn't, my vote may be different. Oh, and by the way, "dad's baby" is now being referred to as "the truck" I'm not liking that too much.

  9. Diesel Help

    in Off-Topic/General

    My dad has a 98 Chevy 1 ton dually w/a 6.7 diesel engine. He says it will start and run for a few minutes then shut off. It won't restart for several minutes or more. Anyone familiar with this issue? Sounds kinda like vapor lock or something.

     

    Thanks in advance for any comments.

    I'm in. let me know if I can help put something together.What are we looking to do? Just a meet and greet? Any regional location decided? I'm in Orlando. I might haves some ideas, but we need to decide on what type of atmosphere we're looking for (adult beverages will limit some locations)

  22. Bristol, Tn

    Bristol is definately a must do for Nascar fans. It's like a big bowl and the sound is cool. I haven't been there in years but any seat was a good seat because of the whole bowl design. I might be a little biased since it is my hometown. :cheers: you can hear the race from my grandmas house miles away.

  23. Need To Vent

    It's so easy to say that you can always get another project car in the future, but when will that be? You are relatively young so you may not have had the misfortune of getting rid of something you love and never be able to replace it. If it's the only option, then so be it. Here's an idea, tell her to get a part time gig stripping for a while, I hear there's good money in it. :jester:

  25. Changing My Life.

    Good luck with your new endeavors. I feel your pain about the whole dad relationship, fortunately for me, I only spent a year working with mine before I realized something very important. A family business will only be successful if the family is successful first. In other words, if the family relations are not right, a business relationship will never be right with family. At 39, I still have not given up "hope" but for me the worst pain is the lack of relations between him and my kids. I better stop rambling now, this can be real depressing.

    I hope (and know) all will work out positively for you, we all know your a survivor. :thumbs:
