    Yea. I've got a long way to go. I am 17. But I am going to college next year and after that Air Force I believe, so I may be able to afford a '12 or '13. Might be third gen by then. :)

    Yeah you have lots of time! Don't worry about what kind of car or truck you drive right now. Look out whats best for you for the future, "then" get the car/truck you want.;)

    Hey it might be a dream but you can make it come true bud! Stick to what you really want to do and go for it! My parents didn't want me to be a Firefighter at first because of the danger but they can't be more proud of me now! I did what I had to do and they finally caught on!
