I think the problem is that we are trying to give a definition to a vague term. I'm legally an adult and have been for three years. I can drink legally (even though I choose not to), I can buy cigarettes legal (never exercised this right), and other rights that I haven't exercised and have no intention of ever excerising due to it goes against my beliefs (use your imagination for this one).

I'm techinally in the category of Young Adult/Earily Adulthood. In my mind a kid is means a some in middle childhood, at best earily teenage years. Of course, when I get to be about your age I'm sure I will probably consider someone 21 to be a kid.

 

having coached college students, i tend to refer to most people younger than me as "kids"...i dont mean it as a negative term, its just a habit...

 

Fawk Mee! Well, I am 23, but I call everybody who I can't address as Ma'am or sir as "kid"...I am so used to being the youngest one on the mopar forums...I live in Arizona, and moved here to attend Arizona State. I am on the "12 year plan", thanks to Boy George Bush's cutting of student financial aid. I hope I didn't start a firestorm with that comment!

A lot of older mopar guys are always floored because instead of seeing some old wrench bust out with mopar knowledge, it is some "kid"!

 

I hope you're not calling me an Old Wrench![:@]

 

The reason why I get defensive when someone calls me a kids is that many people who call me a kid use it to make a point that because I am younger than them, I must therefore be a moron and incapable of logical thinking. They blow me off because they think I can't possibly know anything they know. Although I may not be the smartest man alive, I am still pretty intelligent and deserve respect for the intelligence that I have.

Actually, I look forward to getting older for a few reasons:
1. Girls will become less superficial and will find that there are more important values in a husband than how good he is at sports.
2. I will be able to afford a house of my own, instead of a dorm hall full of people who pull the fire alarms at 2:00 a.m. because they are completely wasted.
3. I will have the opporunity to emerge from the shadows of my cousins' success which is more obvious to the naked eye since they have been recognized as being "best in state" in various sports and been on TV for it more than once, whereas the success I has gone unnoticed so far, but I believe the projects I'm working on right now will be recognized in a couple years.


Kelly, don't take anything I have said on this topic as to mean I'm offended. I just had a really long and bad week so I'm just blowing off steam is all. Plus, I was working on something last night and the computer lost it, which is 5-6 hours down the drain.

 

Yes, Wall street man, you are an old wrench! I hope my jabbing doesn't leave a bruise on your ribs! I didn't think you were offended RLSH700 (What the hell does that stand for?)...Its all in good nature, player!

So you kids ready to get back on topic? (Couldn't resist!)

 

Autos are fine, and I even enjoy them on some performance vehicles.

The question will be durability. If we will get a T-56 option, that will be hard to beat.

 

eh..my 727 is pretty durable.

 

True as that may be, I doubt we will see those in 08 Challengers

 

Actually, Wallstreetman is a kid. He says he bought his '70 in 1976 when he was 17. I bought my '70 in 1974 when I was 19.
