Grow up.

God forbid that something should happen to your father and this would have been the last thing you two talked about/argued about...

It's a truck you moron. Trucks come and go and you'll have many in your lifetime...but you've got only one father.

Raoul was right on the money and offered great advice...
DO THIS! DO IT TODAY! NO EXCUSES WHY YOU CAN'T DO THIS TODAY!

I does not matter if this hurts your pride, it does not matter how much you believe you were right, it does not matter if you think this is silly and it makes you feel embarassed.

Don't post another thing until you can post here that you did this AND APOLOGIZED.

Now go.

 

I think we should cut TXCoUnTrYbOy some slack. He is a teenager (around 16 or 17 years old if I remember correctly) and on this forum he tends to show his age and immaturity in his posts.

TXCoUnTrYbOy, it's not a slam, we were all young and immature at one point. That's what being young is all about. But with comments about "beating someone's ***" in RP's wreck thread and threads like this one about the fight with your dad, you may want to rethink before you post. I don't know if you are trying to talk tough to impress people on this forum or if you truly believe what you write or what. Only you know the truth.

As far as the fight with your dad, let it go man. It's a truck. Don't let vehicles come between families. If you want to learn to be a man worthy of driving a truck, go apologize to your dad. Humility is a good sign of maturity.

And if any of my post seems harsh, it is not intended that way at all. Just trying to be real.

 

just be thankful you still have a father to argue with. I wish I still had that privilege...

 

i know its just a truck, and he is my dad, but it bothers me that he brags about dodge being the best there is without knowing the facts about them. hes one of those people that gets sucked in by the word HEMI. he hears it and says "now thats gotta be one powerful truck". we werent really yelling and screaming we were just arguing. im not saying i was right, but i am trying to defend my actions. i dont think every other truck sucks (except nissan and toyota, they really do suck), but i think ford is the best by far. i like chevy, i like the way dodge looks, but i like ford way better than both.

but my dad wasnt exacly right either. he knows i love ford, so i said "ford makes me thrown up" just to **** me off. also its not like we hate each other or anything. before dinner we were joking around and wrestling each other. we normally get along real good but we both have short tempers

 

Look, you already admitted "things were said that shoudn't have been" so apoligise.

Learn how to have some clean fun.
I am the only Ford owner at our loading dock. We all do the same things with our Trucks, and we (me and the GM guys) always tease each other. It's all fun. I call their GM Trucks "chevy" (they hate that) and they call mine a studebaker. I tell them to park away from mine so the ugly doesn't rub off, and they tell me to move my heap. I've never said theirs was 'junk' and they've never said mine was 'crap'. Because we all know every Truck down there does the job, and it's driver is happy with it.
Now if someone said that my Truck made them throw up, I would have replyed "Better aim at the dodge so no one will notice"

 

Damn Straight! (me too!!!)

 

you just proved my point about immaturity. get over it and move on. they're just trucks with whom you have no affiliation other than admiring their product.

 

yeah i guess i did prove your point....... since im 16 years old i blame adolescense.

 

It is a powerfull truck.

 

cmon man, now your just trying to get me started

 

In 1999, my mother bought a Blazer, and I was so upset that I couldn't sleep. My mother always hated Ford with a passion (way before I was thought of), and I couldn't understand why, so we fought and fought and fought. Not really fighting, like friendly, joking-around arguing, but it was an issue that came up a lot. My brother had other issues with our mother, and they weren't on speaking terms. My mother then went to the hospital for stomache pains that she was having, and they admitted her for a biopsy. They found a cancerous tumor in her stomache, and they wanted to remove it asap, so she got out of her biopsy at 1 pm that day and went in for the surgery to remove the tumor at 4 pm that same day. Well, long story short, she didn't live through the second surgery. There was no car crash, no natural disaster, no foul play, nothing, and all of a sudden, someone who wasn't even sick was gone. When I went home from the hospital that day and saw her Blazer there, I just looked at it and cried, because it reminded me that the times that I spent arguing and fighting with my mother over that stupid hunk of metal could have been spent much better, but my own stupidity and pride robbed me of a lot of the limited time that I had with my mother when she was alive. Don't let the same thing happen to you, you never know how long your Father will be here, and when he's gone, you'll wish that you could have every second that you ever had with him back. Don't waste any time apologizing, either, one second is too long to wait.

 

sorry to hear that Pickup Man.

 

Thanks. Point is, though, things like that do happen everyday, and you shouldn't let an argument about trucks come between you and family, you only have one.

 

I'm betting your Dad saw some of the same things I did back in the late 60's and early 70's.
In Nascar, some Mopar designer decided that a hemi should be nosed and winged.....and the Road Runner Super Bird and Dodge Charger Daytona was born. A few months later...all you saw on the oval was nosed high winged warriors going over 200 mph. Speeds unheard of back then. Nascar responded by outlawing them. Why? Because Mopar read and understood the rules and applied them Because nothing else could compete, Nascar outlawed them.
Drag Racing? Sure. A Hemi in a 68 Cuda probably still holds the SS/A record (tho I confess I have not looked it up in awhile.)
So...stock, super stock, pro stock, funny car and top fuel dominated by Mopar......what engine? Hemi. NHRA had to keep changing the rules to make the others competitive.
I had A LOT of heartburn over that when I was watching/growing up, but guess what? The older you get, the more you learn and the more you can appreciate all things involved.
I "hated" roundy round racing way back when, but love it now, like all forms of racing. The same with most music.
It ain't all about you or what you got, but what you do with it and how well you do it. Be it racing, building, music or whatever. Try to appreciate the good in all of it and you will always come out on top.
Just my 2 cents

 

No, man, keep your blood Ford blue, but don't let it come between you and loved ones, not even for a minute. No need to appreciate a Dodge, though.
