2013 Dodge Dart SXT

Like many of us when we’re kids there was that defining moment that got us hooked cars. Mine was at the age of 4 my parents too me to a car show and got to see the bat mobile and other custom classics. After that my hotwheels collection took off! I was bitten by the car bug. Cars were how me and my dad bonded. I was out side learning watching (not holding the flashlight we’re he needed it) slowly getting to work on them. Learned to pull motors and rebuild them. My curiosity of who motors work led to my parents worried on day they would come home to the refrigerator torn apart becauseI wanted to know how that worked. Started playing Grand turismo 2 and the nfs games reading every car magazine i could get my hands on. By the time i got my license I had so many cars i wanted to buy and modify. But that reality came parts are expensive and life happened after high school and slowly had to work to survive and unable to do what my mind had imagined for all the cars I’ve owned. Got married had a couple of kids. Had bought some real winners of cars that were done after a yr of ownership after leaving me stranded one to many times. I needed a car to go to work but wanted another manual started looking at all the things. Finally I found something that meet what i was looking for. Unbeknownst to me and my wife would we know that would lead me to starting to modify a car. I picked my up dodge dart 1.4t 6mt for steal. Had some cosmetic damage and needed tires and brakes but I told myself everything it needed was something i could do or learn to do. Started looking got brakes pads and rotors traded a friend the steelies and hun caps for some stock alloy wheels. Built a exhaust system for it. Put it on some lowering springs them switched to coil overs. Started addimg aero parts different wheel setups audio setups added a bunch of performance parts list just kept going. I know i could bought something that gets less hate and more aftermarket support but it has now become a lesson for my to teach my kids. Just because something is not the norm and hated on doesn’t mean you shouldn’t or can’t do it. My oldest now wants to keep the dart for when he gets older
