Who is 20 or under here... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jott_06 · 10-19-2007, 06:47 AM

i just recently turned 20 and in my town not very many people my age are into cars and trucks as much as i am. I try to do all of my own work if i can and i even painted my camaro myself when i was 18 my senior year in school and i get complements on it all of the time. So i am just wandering how many of you are 20 years old or less and are into cars and trucks as much as i am.

49m · 10-19-2007, 07:45 AM

Im 16 and I have a 1987 iroc camaro that me and my dad built and a 71 chevy truck in progress

BigDaddyDave · 10-19-2007, 08:43 AM

If we had more of you guys,out working on your trucks or cars,we would not have the crime,teen pregnancies and other problems that we face as a nation.I have never seen a guy spend half a day, rebuilding a motor,then go out and rob the local liquor store.He would be way to tired,and hungry,plus look at what all needs to be done,in order to hear the motor run for the first time.

Heart and mind are under 20, just the rest of me is older than dirt!!

dastuck · 10-19-2007, 10:09 AM

If i could ride my girlfriend as much as i ride my quad and truck it would be a tuff choice. Just kidding. Stick with the restorations they are a lot cheaper in the long run. Im 23 but dont act that old most of the time.

samwise68 · 10-19-2007, 10:15 AM

just turned 20, and i've been messing with these trucks for about 4 years now. i've gone through a '68 C20, a '67 C10, a '69 K20, and finally found a '69 C1500 that is usable and will find it's way on the road.

theres quite a few guys my age who are really into cars and trucks. luckily, i'm friends with alot of them.

i also lucked out in the fact that my dad has been a mechanic for..well...all of his grown up life. haha. so he's really helped, along with inspiring me.

anyway. back to the garage!

72 cheyenne pdx · 10-19-2007, 12:15 PM

I'm 33, but the wife says I drive like a typical 16 year old boy and act like I am younger than my daughter. My daughter is 4. I like to think those are compliments. After 16 years of being together and married for 11, I must still turn her on.

OhNoJoe · 10-19-2007, 01:01 PM

I'm older than my teeth and younger than my hair

chevy_632 · 10-19-2007, 03:21 PM

Im 22 but baught my 68 when i was 18 if that counts,and wanted one from age 12 lol..its still not done but close.

**michael bustamante** · 10-19-2007, 04:53 PM

Im 33 but My 13 year old insists on inherating the 67 1/2 ton when she goes to high school. I guess something about helping old dad work on a truck raises a young ones interest.

Was in high school when this style came out. Couldn't afford one then, it took 40 years and I'm making up for lost time!!

69halfton · 10-19-2007, 05:33 PM

bought my 69 C-10 shorty a year ago this past september

Sinister · 10-19-2007, 05:41 PM

My girlfriend accuses me of acting like a teenager, but I don't think that counts.

67_C-30 · 10-19-2007, 05:47 PM

I'm celebrating the 10th anniversary of my 20th birthday - so yeah, I'm in!

Sir Fisher · 10-19-2007, 05:52 PM

all my friends and family always asks me the question... "when are you going to grow up??" does that count?? they never tell me what age i'm acting, but that's what they ask me.

MXmaniac · 10-19-2007, 06:15 PM

I'm 16 and my dad and I fixed up my '69 C/20 together. We did all the work ourselves, including paint, and I'm so proud of it. I drive it to school 2 or 3 times a week(mom makes me ride the bus some because of the 10 mpg my truck gets). I've got a '64 in the barn that I'm fixin to start on again, it got set aside when we brought the '69 home.

68shortstep · 10-19-2007, 06:17 PM

Me (times 3) 'til next March. I was 20 when my truck was new..........

You're only as old as you act & feel.

And sometimes I still feel like the dumb kid I use to be, just trying not to act like it.

Maybe us old f*rts need to start an "if I could do it over" thread...........
