Now I didnt exactly
Buy my rig right away, My first truck was a 1983 F 150 4x4, 4 speed, it was an 800 dollar truck, that got me thru high school, The next step was actually better. I got a full paid university scholarship and my mom and dad told me for my hard work that theyd get me a better truck...
Anyways, I told them that i wanted a REGULER CAB (boy was I a dum dum back then, well some things never change 
) F 250, diesel, 4 wheel drive, with a five speed, Sure enough they got it for me, at 4800 bucks, a 1993 F 250 IDI with 120K miles.. Divorce sale. After that it was all me afterwards, and to make a long story short, my ram came up, i sold the ford, and with a "student loan" I within 48 hours sold the ford, and paid for the ram, and drove it home on a tuesday afternoon. This was after i stripped some stuff off the Old IDI...
the only thing i forgot was the Keith Whitley Greatest hits cd i left in the case in the glovebox
Other than that ive been on my own for truck payments, repairs, and anything else. But id say a nice ride was a reward for my hard work in school, at home, with the horses, cattle, and so on and so forth....
Heck even if i was a parent that be the option id take, hard workin kid deserves a "nice" truck, the rest to make it "nicer" is up to him or her..

Chaos....when most people say straight pipe, they mean at least 4"......that helps keep egts' down
I'd only agree to race him IF he agres to hook em up back to back to back if he wins the race. that way, at least the bragging rights wouldbe even.

Personally I dont think many kids are "fed with the silver spoon" that are driving dodge diesels, considering I have the only one at school (2200 kids). Most kids that get everything they want are driving New Z71s and sports cars and suvs. Not many "kids" decide they want a diesel.
Not true, everywhere I go the kids around here want a Diesel, might be a chevy, ford or Dodge-but they still want one. Most of the cars you mentioned can be had for a whole bunch less than a CTD. And actually it was in the 80's when I got my first car, I had to save for college so the 500 car was all I could afford and still save for my future!!
