Good lookin' trucks, y'all.

Now send this thread packin' to GD!

 

Since when were 14 year olds are allowed to drive???

 

I started driving the farm f-150 at the age of 12, just not on public roads.

 

he drives it every now and then. each grandchild got a car from our grandfather. that black one was totaled. i helped pull the entire rear end of the truck off and swap a new rear frame section, bed, etc. back onto it. wish he'd have done it. helps you respect your stuff alittle more

 

This thread made is so long in the suspension forum lol

 

Im 19 a freshman at ALABAMA , this is my truck i got when i was 16



P.S. i dont give a **** what anyone has to say, i paid for all the up grades and still treat it as good as the first day i got it

 

I didnt have Shi for a vehicle like this in high school, but I promise my son will "thumbs". I had a 87 ranger ,

I built this car it was totalled, my dad sold my 87 Ranger and bought this for 1Grand. I pulled the motor had a stock car engineer built the engine. Then did all the body work my old man sprayed it for me, I didnt get to choose the colors tho why it looks like Mcdonalds national theme car. It was cool for awhile.

 

Congrats, but you were still spoiled as all hell.

I'll ask you the same thing I've asked other teenagers who get brand new F150s... What have you done to deserve a $30K+ vehicle? (None have been able to give an answer other than, "I'm a good kid, so I earned it". Being a good kid keeps you from getting your *** beat and kicked out of the house, it doesn't entitle you to a reward.)

Do you pay for gas, insurance, taxes, regular maintenance, parts, inspections, registration, etc? If not, then shut your mouth and be extremely happy that someone else has the money and is willing to support you.

Got my truck when I was in high school. Yes, my dad got the truck for me. Had 116,000 miles on it and just hit 150,000 the other day. Truck was bone stock when I got it. And I promise I really did pay for my mods. It's not complete yet, I'm just getting stuff as I go. I got the truck at the end of my sophmore year in high school, and was able to save enough to lift it by the last semester of my senior year...shes my baby.

Dont know how to post pics on a reply so go view my profile to see pics..comments are nice too.

 

When I was in highschool I drove a 1977 El Camino (will post pictures) I paid 2,000 dollars for it. For my senior project (CA bullcrap) I helped a friend build a 68' Mustang, and I got the Ford bug. I ended up selling my El Camino for a profit (5,000 dollars) and the same day went out and bought my 1991 Mustang GT (will post pictures). It had 125k miles on it, and after saving forever, I could afford some aluminum heads (what every high school kid needs!) Well lesson learned, after building the top end of a 125k+ mile 302, the crank snapped in half and I was left without a car.

Well I decided I would save for a new motor. So I bought a new bottom end for $900 and put all my parts from my old motor on it and drove that car until my freshman year in college (2005). At this time I was 18, and decided I wanted to buy a new TRUCK! So I went out and bought a used 03 Hemi Ram 1500. I ended up putting 6k down on it (the money from selling the mustang) and making monthly payments. I put a 6" lift, some Moto Metal Wheels and 35" Toyo tires, dual exhaust, CAI, you know... everything that I couldn't afford. I worked as a manager of a motorcycle shop, and made extremely good money/commission for such a young lad. After my first year of college I realized that I didn't like car payments, and at only 18 being tied down to a car payment while having to keep my GPA up and paying tuition was a bad idea. So I sold the truck and bought another Mustang!

This time it was a 94 GT, and I was going to leave it completely STOCK! (Yeah right) I ended up building a 331 stroker motor for it while in college, and wasting more money on this ridiculous car. So I figured I would keep my eye out for another truck so that I would stop buying all these damn parts for my Mustang. So I ran across this deal on my F150, and picked it up. It's an 02 Lariat 5.4L in like-new condition, but I couldn't get myself to part with the Mustang. So now, I am a Jr. in college (CSUB - California State University Bakersfield) and no longer have any car payments!!! But I do own two vehicles, and pay a ton in insurance especially for a 21 year old kid and a Mustang GT! So I may not be the smartest kid around, but I definately have learned from experiences, and have not been given a vehicle. All of my stuff has been saved for over a period of time. I love cars and trucks, they are my hobby. My truck is still not finished, I plan to lift it some, but still undecided which lift kit to go with. Sorry the story was so long Here are some pictures of mentioned cars.


My old 77 El Camino - 350ci Chevy/700R4 auto trans, 3.73 open diff.


My old 91 Mustang GT - 302ci /T-5 trans, 4.10LS diff.

and last but not least My F150!

 

Nicr truck! Oxford White FTW!!! What kind of headlights do you have on it?

 

Agreed!! I like how they say but i payed for all the mods...psh big whoop you put 3-4k in mods on a 30k truck someone else bought. My first vehicle my dad did buy but it was by no means fancy..just an old 95' f-150 2wd extended cab with a 351 windsor in it. But my current truck (which I had in high school too) I paid for (well only owe about $300 on but can't pay it off till march or I'll serve a penalty for paying it off too fast) and I've paid for every cent of that truck, its mods, gas, parts, etc.. It sure does feel nice to own your own truck. Everyone thinks I'm particular about it because its always shiny and clean (except for now but thats the snow/salt/sand/ices fault!)

 

If you are referring to mine, thanks! I love the F-150. If you notice in the garage in the pic of my old Dodge, the F250 PSD that belongs to my dad. He was a Ford Mechanic when he was young, and has been a die hard ford fanatic since. He ragged on me everyday that I had that blue POS. (BTW I hated that Dodge, what a crock of a "truck") The headlights are Lightening style headlights that I got off ebay I think. They fit perfectly and look great. I put a coat of wax on them every time I wash the truck to keep them from getting harmed by the sun. Been on there 6 months and they look like the day I put them on.

My F150 is hands down the best vehicle I have had, and the pictures above are all the vehicles I have owned. None of them were new, I bought the Dodge with 43,000mi on it, it was 2 years old.

 

Blake don't you park like 7 spots down from me though at creekside?
