Last month I graduated with my bachelors degree from Florida State University and when my parents came up for the big day they told me that they would give me my graduation gift when they got it in the mail...they also said I'd love it.  Well, last weekend I went home to surprise my parents on their birthdays (they were born at the same hospital, same year, one day apart from each other) and, believe it or not, they had a surprise waiting for me!  While I was talking with my mom, my dad came into the room and handed me a blank envelope and said, "Here's your graduation gift."  I had actually forgotten about the rogue gift, which added to the excitement, and nearly had a small heart attack when  opened the envelope and pulled out the title to the Charger!  I still had a few thousand dollars to pay off on it, but my parents thought that me not having to pay the rest of it off would be a good reward for my triumphs. 

Now I can say that I am a 22 year old college graduate with full ownership of a big block 1970 Charger!  Mark those two things off the list of childhood dreams to be accomplished!     :icon_smile_cool:

Now I just need to get into grad school....

Congrats on the ownership, and another round of congrats is in due for the graduating from college. Something I should have stuck out and stayed another semester to finish.
