Very nice lookin car! 5 speed or auto? Sweet ride, it almost makes me want to save up and buy one of those just to pimp around in LOL.

Are you in one room, on the computer, yelling across the room/hall to your dad on the other computer? Youre both online, ha.

Same room, Kris. I have my back to him, and we both snicker every so often.

And the car is a 5-speed manual. Lots of folks have said that the newer tiptronics in the '03-current models is a good auto, but he wanted to get the stick anyway.

Factor in the grin factor because it is a deisel, and there is no comparison on this earth!

Has anybody noticed that I completely ignored my dad's little comment about the drive to Tennessee?

Seriously though, he is a great dad, and he's really being a big help. He devotes so much of his time and energy towards teaching, training, and working with me and my five younger brothers and sisters. I was thrilled that I actually had the ability to do something nice to his truck that made him so happy. Wish I could come closer to what he deserves.

That is a special son. My son won't go near mine or I will rip his head off and shove it down the cavity. He would rather run through Hades with gasoline soaked underbritches than touch my truck without my permission. That's how I roll here. He is not so inclined.

My car will never be a ricer while I am driving it.
If I just had the $$$ for a new clutch (manual, not auto), chip, and injectors, I could smoke more than my dad's truck!!!! LOL

Don't be hard on yourself. If you behave and are respetful to others do your best in school I bet that's just what your dad wants.
