Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted February 5 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 5 (edited) It was known in my house that the kids were not allowed to drive our parents cars. Get a job. So after stocking produce for a year at Ruggles thrifty grocery @16 I bought a 6 yr old 1980 dodge d150. With a 360 4 barrel. It was a long bed 2wd and was the king of Smokey burnouts in the Cumberland farms parking lot! It had a bench seat and column shift so there was a lot of room for activities.It was 2 tone maroon and white. Great rig with ram hood ornament!

sleepybrew Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) and we never drove our parents vehicles. we had a yard of chevelles, nova, pontiacs, impalas , mostly ss big blocks. as he sold them off the last one was a 70 nova ss. red and black, rally wheels, 350 . i pleaded with him , please sell me that car . he never answered but one day said " i'll have to bury you in it" . he was probably right , but that was 100% my mother telling him not to sell it to me. like this Edited February 6 by sleepybrew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got sorted out when I was on my first trip out of town and about an hour into the ride a gear on the right side of the case decided to loose a couple of teeth and fuck up a lot of shit so I replaced it with a 2005 KLR with 10,000 miles for less money than I had into that KLR with 55,000 miles lmao. 26 minutes ago, EvilBird said: Cant kill those things.
