    Joseph - You've learned some lessons I didn't learn until I was a lot older than you are. You've got a good head on your shoulders. Keep listending to your dad, it sounds like he's giving you good advice. I'll tell you something I don't say very often. If you were my son, I would be proud as hell of you. You're going' places, young man. Whatever your dream is, keep working toward it.

    The power ram means it’s a 4x4 the 2 wheel drive trucks didn’t have the power badges. And the LE package depends on what the buyer ordered it with. Mostly the LE package is power locks and windows and a/c. Some trucks came with cassette radios. I’m 17 as well with a 1987 dodge w150

    When I was 15 I almost had my hands on a 1 of 500 special edition Volkswagen I've wanted for years but my dad didn't want to go that far. Had the cash, just couldn't drive yet. Car probably worth 4x what I would have paid now lol. 4 years later I now own 3 other volkswagens and I'm looking at buying a truck to daily. Probably a first gen D150, build a 4 link for the rear and drop it a bit with maybe a mercedes diesel under the hood. 400hp and 600ft-lbs sounds good for a daily.
