My dad liked Chevy trucks and ford tractors. We never had a Dodge until about '92, my older brother, now 31, found a Challenger with a 440 in it, he wanted to buy it and need a lil extra money my dad wouldn't help him out on it, but he bought it for himself and let him tool around in it every once in awhile.
From then on my folks started buying Mopars like crazy, 69 Charger R/t, a 71 Super Bee that my mom rode around in during high school (now it lives in Germany), approx. 27 e-bodies in various states (only R/T's, big block cars, GC 'cudas, and Rallye's). My first two cars were Challengers that kinda got handed down from the parents.
It is interesting because before they started the family thing they had them but then went to GM station wagons, vans and suburbans, that is until the re-awakening, so-to-speak. Now they drive a new Charger R/T Super Bee (basically a R/T w/ stickers and some interior niknak's) and a loaded Cummins and just sold the Crossfire SRT.
What is even more interesting is my mom had a Volare, my wife had a Volare for her first car. My parent’s first car together was a Duster; our first car was a duster (besides the Yukon Denali, but that isn't a car).
