My Dad takes me to the dealer with him, and before we go in, he tells me to remember "16-8". Â*So my Dad haggles with the dealer on the price. Â*The car stickerd for 17.5, and my dad said he wouldnt spend more then 16.8. Â*The dealer said that 17 was as low as he could go. Â*
My Dad then turns to me and says "Hey Alex...tell the man what Daddy is gunna pay him."
So I look up from my toys, look at the dealer and say..."16-8". Â*
The rest is history. Â*8)
I always remember taking the ttops off and crusing down to my grandparents house in south jersey over the summer. Then my dad was going to sell the Z, and he said that if I helped him tune it up and fix it, that he would give me the money to put twards a new car. Â*I fixed it up, and he asked if I wanted to drive it before he sold it. Â*
Well, I started it up and drove it and I was HOOKED! Â*I couldnt stop driving it. Â*No way I could ever sell this car. Â*So with half the money, I got my moms Taurus, and the other half went into my Z and making her road-worthy.

I think I read this sotry before and it makes me smile each time I see it. I'm going to have to bring my young kids with me the next time I go car shopping for the same thing.
