Cool Hello All! (Fourm Newbie!)

Hello everyone, my Name is Travis and I am 17, But I fell in love with Dodge's at a very young Age, I bought my first Truck at the age of 13 with a few hundred bucks I had saved up over the years from Chores, and Who would of Guessed it, it was a Old Rusted 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L V8 Longbox, Standard Cab, for 3 Years until I got my permit it sat out in my backyard, Went outside to Start it up the day New York state "Legally" Let me Drive, and as much as it breaks my heart to say, the Engine was Seized up, But I was able to turn around and Sell it for $950, That gave me enough money to go up to an auction and buy a 1995 Chevy Blazer with a Blown Tranny for $100, and a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Extended Cab with the 5.9 for $850, I was able to sell the Blazer for $400 Dollars 2 weeks later, and Put all the Money into the Ram for Brakes and Whatnot, Drove that for about a year but when I turned 17 I sold the Ram and bought a little Cherokee for $1600, But soon got bored of that and Bought an old work Truck, 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 Standard Cab, Shortbox, 5.2L V8, Did all the Body work on it myself, Put some Uniroyal Tires on the Front, Bought Mirrors off of a 2001 Ram at a Pick n Pull along with 2 New Fenders, and a whole new box, Painted her all Up, and Bought the typical kid stuff, Sound System, Hood Scoops, ect. I have all the before and after pictures if anyone is Interested in looking at them!

Thanks for Reading basically my life story, haha.
