Well let me getting to introducing myself and giving you guys a little back round about me. My name is Mike Michael or any name you can think of as long as I know your talking to me. I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school I just recently got my very first dodge about 2 weeks ago. My ride is a 1994 ram 1500 long bed reg cab with a sun roof 318 and OD trans. Now a little about myself. I've grown up with racing in my blood. My family has drag raced since before I was born. So you could say I've been turning a wrench since before I could even walk. Well when my 8th birthday rolled around I got my very own junior dragster. Man this thing was sweet. Fire engine red with sweet yellow flames. But the time I was 16 I had just got my very first truck. I traded my best friend for a fender guitar I had. Yeah it was a chevy unfortantly. Still had my temperary license at the time and so I never got to take the truck on the road, it was a pos though. 1990 chevy cheyenne with a 4.3 that knocked like no tomorrow. So I sold the truck and had about 50 dollars from it well we had a 1978 chevy 1 ton dump truck that I just absoultly loved. My dad was looking to get a new dump truck and found a nice ford one for 1000 dollars. Well he needed 500 to buy it. So I said I would buy the chevy dumper off him for 500 bucks. And that afternoon it was mine. A couple more months rolled down the road and I realized I didn't have any idea to convert it to a regualar pick up so I decided to trade it. Well I traded it for my first Ford and 4x4. A 1978 F250 Ranger lifted on 35s and a 400 big block. I loved that truck it was sick. By this time its april and I was about to get my license. so I had to sell the truck because I didn't have the money to fix everything that needed fixed to get it back on the road. After than I got a 1979 F150 with a 302 I really like the truck and I drove it till the week of my county fair in july 2010. I got offered a deal I couldn't refuse. So I sold the truck to my best friend and went and got the coolest 4x4 I had ever seen. It was another Ford. A 1978 f250 lifted with a flatbed on it 33 inch super swampers a 460 built to take a house down and full time 4 wheel drive. I got the truck home and was playing with when it blew the transfer case. So for the time being it was parked while I was driving my moms Jimmy to save up the money to fix it. Well in sept 2010 I got in a wreck in her Jimmy totalling it and received a license suspension till febuary 2011. We ended up buying her Jimmy back to rebuild and so I sold my ford to pay for the parts to build it. My mom then got a 2008 Nitro and my parents said once I build it and pay the 500 dollar deductable to buy it back it was mine so I bought 1200 dollars worth of parts and get it almost back together when my parents sold the truck. So after that I was still under suspenion and trying to find a cool truck to fix up and bought a 1979 f250 4x4. But that truck was death on wheels an d my wallet I ended up scraping it. Now this is when I got the best truck I've ever owned. I bought a 1975 f100 with a 1969 302 out of a mustang with the good old 3 on the tree. I loved driving this truck it was my baby everywhere I went I got complements about it and people always asked about it. Well a bout 3 weeks ago I was driving home from football practice and it ended up spilting the cam in half. I didn't have any money at the time so I was freaking out what to do. My dads best friend had this 1994 dodge ram that he bought new and I've always loved the truck. Ironicly the day before I blew my cam the truck went up for sale. He gave me and my dad a very low price of 1000 dollars and so I was trying to sell my ford to get it. within two days of blowing my engine my parents bought me the dodge. But there was a catch I had to selll the ford and pay them back the 1000 dollars. I still have the ford but my new thing is I'm going to pay them back the 1000 dollars and keep the ford to fix it up. Now I know I'm gonna catch alot of flack because I like chevy ford and dodge. They are all good companies and they have alot of cars I would kill to own. See I do bleed ford blue when it comes to gas trucks. But nobody and I mean nobody not the powerjoke not the durajunk would ever be better then Cummins. I absoultly love cummins more than anything. My dad bought brand new in 2006 a 3/4 slt big horn edition with long bed quad cab bright red. I love this truck and would sell my whole body to have it. Thats my little novel on to how I got my very first dodge. And BTW even though I bleed ford blue I still love my ram more than any of my fords.
