A friend of the family bought his son this for his 18th Birthday! I got the joy to do some mechanical work and a full detail on it! Busy workin on it and I forgot to take a bunch of pics :(

Nice B-day present for a great kid and honor student!!
 
WOW, that 2nd generation Dakota looks like new! Red is one of these colors that really POP after it's polished and waxed. superb work! :props:

I'm sort of a Dakota aficionado myself with an eye for detail!

Here's my 1999 a couple of months ago.

Great job! Must be nice t be handed things, lol.

Red always pops! Thats why I like my car after I nice cleaning.
 
Man I'm so glad to see its just a Dakota. I was going to hang myself had it been another 18 yr old gettin a Vette :bash:

Very nice work :props:
 
Beautiful job on the dakota sir. The kid is going to be very happy!

As a slight aside, just because an 18yr old is "given" a nice vehicle for their 18th birthday doesn't necessarily mean it was simply handed to them. My oldest girl was "given" a new Mustang GT on her 18th birthday. She earned every penny of it by receiving a full four year merit scholarship to a private university. That accomplishment didn't come easy and the way I figure it, I got off pretty easy! Im the MAN

Even if it was a 'vette, so what?

I don't understand why people are so down on others who are given nice things from time to time; as long as they're not lazy and completely mooching off their parents or others, if a family can afford to give gifts like that I say more power to 'em.

An 18 year old with a Corvette is not automatically a person with no work ethic or sense of value 100% of the time. Sometimes they're just a kid lucky enough to come from a family of means that may be teaching him that sometimes it's alright to splurge even when you're being otherwise fiscally responsible.
