My dad and i were both car nuts when I was younger. he always would buy a 
nice older car, clean it up, and turn around and sell it and make a few bucks
But at 16 he told me don't expect him tobuy me a car when i turn 17. I 
understood (we didn't have much money) and went and got a job at a 
supermarket
I paid for drivers ed and saved a little something for a car. 
I made a deal with my grandma to buy her 79 Dodge Aspen (2dr) but she didn't 
know how my father would be about it, so we didn't tell him  yet
One day close to my 17th birthday i'm at my grandma's with my dad, and he 
says come in the back yard, he wants to show me something.
We go in the back, and next to grandmas (my) 79 Aspen is a 75 Dart 4 dr, 
triple green (green exterior, green vinyl top, green vinyl interior) he say s 
"I know I said we couldn't buy you a car, but I couldn't see you get your 
license and not have a car."
I thought that was the greatest thing, but then broke him the news that i 
bought grandmas Aspen. I think he was actually a little releived. (I know I 
was) 
I still thought that was one of the coolest things he ever did. 
He later sold the Dart to a friend of mine for $50, and while my friend 
dropped it off at Midas for a muffler, it was stolen!
It was one of the ugliest cars I'd ever seen
