Re: young people with old trucks

Im 19, when i graduated at 16(homeschooled through high school)i started looking for cars. I came across a 70 nova frame up restore with a healthy 350 4 speed, the car was flat black with chrome rims the stance on it was awesome, the guy wanted 4500 for it i told my father thats the one i want but he said theres no way in hell im letting you get a car like that for your first car(because of how he was at my age) so then i went looking again and found a few more muscle but they werent nothing special but then i came across a 1970 duster that was in mint condition with no rust or anything and had a 6 cylinder motor in it which was great because my dads favorite car when he was younger was his 70 duster with a very very healthy 318 that he got into a lot of trouble with but this one had a small motor in it so i figured he wouldnt care but found out it still was a no lol and ended up for my first car getting a 2000 olds intrigue which is next to impossible to fix when it breaks and now is my daily beater. When i turned 19 i decided i wanted a truck like these(i grew up riding in a 71 cheyenne of my fathers and my grandpa had one to). So i started looking and started debating back and fourth between muscle car or truck and found several muscle cars for great prices but i wanted a daily driver that was practical and my love for these trucks just couldnt be matched no matter how fast or cool those cars were i wanted a truck so i started looking and found a 1969 chevy c20 that the guy did a frame up restore for 6900 and now it sits in the shead for the winter but will be my daily driver in the summer once i do all the stuff i want to do to it. My next daily driver in the winter will be a 67-87 chevy 4x4 because i want to be able to beat on it and know itll stay running and easy and cheap to fix(winters around here are kinda hard on cars. Sorry this is kinda long
