New To Here From Indianapolis!
 

Hey guys, just thought I would give a quick hello. I will start off with, my name is Joah, I live in Indianapolis, In. I am 22, going to be a whole 23!! YAY in July. Lol... I will post up some pictures of my lovely (not really) Jetta that I am stuck with. And also my more favorite 99 Dakota. I simply LOVE the new Challenger. I can't get over it. I have been looking closely over the last year, not really sure if I want to wait or not. But, I think I'm pretty set on it. And even if I don't want to keep the Jetta until then. I'll just buy a older Honda to drive. The Jetta has just been a mess since I bought it back in Jan. 2005. Tranny problems, Elc. problems, suspension problems and a lot of other things I don't have time to type lol.. I hope to have a very long stay around here. And be part of the ones getting an early start on the forums. :D For now I'll leave you guys with this. We are building a new home and I have to run my dad to sign some more papers. Theres more to it then just buying a home already built, thats for sure. Joah

Welcome aboard Joah.

Great to see another young fella drawn to the Challenger muscle car. Don't forget to mention to dad that you really should buy a brand new car to go with that brand new house!:D

And you know EXACTLY which car to store in the garage.[sm=gears.gif]

Thanks for the welcome guys..

I was talking to my dad about me getting the Challenger. But he told me I didn't need to be looking a POS. He only likes Ford. The Crown Vic is the car he wants me to get. Because HE likes it. I keep trying to tell him the Crown Vic. is the POS! But he don't listen lol. No normal 22 year old wants to drive around in a old person car. My first car was a 95 Taurus, which he said would make a good car for me when he bought it. Not even a year later he says I shouldn't have picked out that Taurus because it was just a little pos. He had a 91 Crown Vic. at the time. I traded the Taurus in for the 99 Dakota which I still have. My dads Crown Vic. blew up and since he kept saying, "I can't get credit for another car!" I got stuck driving him to work and back for a good 2 months. He drove a truck over the road (retired now), so it wasn't set hours. It could be ANY time that I'd have to run out the door. I found a 98 Civic for sale and ended up talking him into it LOL.. So he just drove the Dakota from then on. Just about every day I heard from him, Why would you want a little pos like that?!

He HATES the fact that I don't like the Crown Vic. Or any other car like it. He thinks any car thats not a V8 RWD is a pos. But, when you talk to him about a V8 RWD, the "it's not a Crown Vic. so it's a pos" comes out of his mouth. So after I had the Civic for a year & 4 months I traded it in on the Jetta. BIGGEST mistake of my life. I should have kept the Civic, but can't go back in time, can ya? [:@]
The Civic was a 5spd and I have a bad left knee, so it hurt me pretty bad to drive it. Now I wish I would have just driven the Dakota when my knee hurt lolol.. I plan to buy a manual again. This Auto crap is old.
Anyways, I'm not worried because it's not his money buying the car. My sister had a wreck Dec. 2005 and was hurt pretty bad. Car totaled. Shes fine now but she is working on getting a settlement. She said she would give me enough to either buy a car, or put it down on one. As of right now, we are upside down on the Jetta, by $4,000. It's worth $8,000 and we still owe $12,700. That really was my dads fault though!

Ok, now that I have made this really long, I'll stop.
Ok ok, just one more thing.. :) A shot of the Jetta. A lot of problems but I still love the looks.
All black, which I love but I'll never again own a black car. Limo tint also brings out the looks.

Okay based criteria on that tell him you want a Dodge Viper. LOL!


By the way, welcome aboard and enjoy the Challenger passion

Welcome aboard! I use to own a 2002 Jetta 1.8T.. the only probs I've had with it were the electric windows went out (fixed at dealer) and hitting a concrete wall after my rear tire blew on me going about 60mph.[8D]

Yeah, I seem to hear that a lot from Vw drivers and past drivers. But this has been the worst car I've ever had. I guess mine was made by a pissed off mexican on a Monday or Friday. For the ones here that don't know, either all or at least most of my car was built in Mexico. [sm=americanasmiley.gif] And thanks for the welcome guys!
