Docwheelhorse 2,560 #1 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) My son wanted a Dodge (any Dodge) when he got his license. Found him a 1997 Stratus and he was pleased as punch. Said "someday I want a Charger". Well he's 18 1/2 works his ass off at Georgina's banquet hall and goes to colllege full time--and earns good grades. So.... with Mikes ( @sparky ) help we picked up my sons new to him 2009 Charger SXT. Congrats to him he deserves it and thanks Mike!

Both of my kids worked steadily while going to school and payed their way , learning all the details. when there was a problem ,or issue ,we were there to cover by example, always steering them back to responsibility. both have family's of their own , it all pays off when you see them face and handle any situation , like a duck to water , good support , pete 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did it. in 1994 when the new style mustangs came out I was in high school there was a yellow on the cover of some car magazine (I wish I knew what magazine), anyway I worked at it putting extra money aside and when I was 20 or 21 I found the car a 96 gt yellow convertible and handed the guy a wad of cash and drove off buying it free and clear. I still have the car 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,462 #10 Posted January 14, 2019 Good for your son - earn and learn at the same time, the only real way to teach kids how to live responsibly. My vote would have been the Challenger, just can't get over having the Charger name on a 4-door car, just doesn't belong there... Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Docwheelhorse 2,560 #11 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Thanks everybody for the kind words ... yah @Sarge a 4 door Charger is weird but yah gotta admit they did it right! Tony Edited January 21, 2019 by Docwheelhorse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #12 Posted January 22, 2019 Guess its from growing up in the era when the real ones ruled the roads - Dad had a beautiful '66 and later a '70R/T SE 440-6 auto model in black w/tan interior, that car today would be well over six figures.
