I've seen a black one in the parking lot on Pawn Stars. Had to rewind on the DVR to confirm and the wife just laughed.

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 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..

I guess I let my subscription lapse, maybe that's why I can't post pics.

Sorry, I tried posting pics but it didn't work I''try again later.

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.

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.

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.

PS3 Hey__Joe (2 underscores)

Im not that good either, maybe if i spent 8 hrs a day online like some of those guys. My PS3 id is Hey__Joe. I have no friends right now maybe I'll send you guys a friend request?

good stuff, luckily that one went the right way.

Sorry I missed your post catdaddy I don't get on here as often as I used to. Orlando and surrounding areas has anything and eveything for all tastes. As far as retirees, they tend collect in certain areas away from Orlando.

foresaken, I just noticed you're in ocale,fl. Did you mean Ocala? I'll wave to ya tommorrow as I'm driving to The Swamp

Orlando here a.k.a. "Otown". Jax is North Fl. KetchicanSS may still live here as well,haven't talked to him in awhile

If he finaced it will it have to be paid off if he dies first? What a great inheritance to someone. thats my plan when I get old. The last car I buy will be badass so I can leave it to someone.

Am I missing something? The kit shows a single pipe and tail section w/a single in/out muffler.

based on these easy steps I should be able to get the SSS in the 13s with no money out of pocket

thanks the big 40

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)

slightly phalic in shape?

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. you can hear the race from my grandmas house miles away.

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.

Nice pics. We haven't had a sunrise here in a couple of days, dealing with this retarded tropical storm.

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.
