I`ve only had my CTD a little over a year now and I`m pushin the BIG four-oh this B-day...as far as chix go, well the missus like to drive it, heck she even smoked out some knucklehead that "tried" to cut her off the other day, I fear that she might start to like it toooo much.

My first diesel was at the ripe old age of 17. A 1 ton dodge with an 8ft plow and road sander. I fell in love with working at a really early age, and needed a truck that wanted to work (and make some cash) as badly as I did!

Ok, so its the family truck, but I drive it a lot, espescially to college, at 20. I could have bought one of my own, but I wanted a motorcycle, so I went out and bought a nice CBR. A little faster than the truck you could say. Now I'm tryin to convince the family to get rid of the suburban and get a second cummins, wish me luck.

I didn't read any other replies, just the opening post, but I just got my first diesel at age 22 also. We are ahead of our age group. 
But now my 16 year old brother wants one BADLY after driving mine.

I was 23 when I got my first diesel, well my husband (fiance at the time) got one and I drove it all the time. It really depends on the area if the chicks like diesel trucks. I know my husband got my attention when I found out that he had a truck (wasn't a diesel though). I love the sound of the diesel trucks.

well then, i stand corrected! to say that chicks dont dig diesels may have been a bit off, i think more of what i meant was that chicks dont dig boxy 1st gen diesels. they seems to like big new flashy cars. maybe if i had an 06 
in all actuality, my GF does like the truck. im in southern california. some might call it the land of superficial materialism. i guess i just never figured girls to be turned on by a diesel. more like a crotch rocket or sports car. but come to think of it, one thing we do have a lot of here in socal are ENORMOUS f-250's 350's 450's and 550's that are raised up at least 12" with incredibly bling torsion bars and huuuuuuge mudders that have probably never left the pavement. girls round here seem to dig those 
anywho, i gotta ask. how do some of you guys that are even younger than me afford these nice pricey rigs? i spent $8700 on my 1st gen (which i thought was quite a lot) that i would never have been able to swing without my credit union for some strange reason being willing to finance me at 4.9%.

Got mine at 16. Put stacks on em and roal coal and the chicks flock to your truck. At least the good ones do. Which brings me to a good story, went to our local fair for the truck pulls one nite and pulled in paid and started making my way to park anywho there were a couple pulling trucks ahead of me so i did what any young man would do i marked my territory with 2 black plumes of soot. now no sooner than i had parked there were bout 5 girls there asking if i saw what truck sent up the smoke signals over by the entrance. i told em it was mine and they didnt believe me so i did it again so needless to say me and my buddies had company the rest of the nite.

wife hated my loud obnoxious 91 when i married her 5 yrs ago. tried to get me to buy a small toyota. i stand my ground on trucks. the 91 was totalled 2 1/2 years ago by a toyota but after fighting the ins company a few days i had enough out of them to upgrade to a 92 4x4. she drove it and loved it. makes her feel safe. doesnt like my modified bumper and she cant find the muffler tho.

again, it depends on the girl. I love the look of a nice clean 1st gen. the trucks my husband and I have are not new, current diesel is an 01 we just got it in July, last diesel was a 99 we bought in 04. In So Cal it does seem like like there are more trucks running around that are lifted and useless.

Well, some girls like em, some don't. They do seem to like the new ones that are lifted sky high, and will never see anything but the sand onthe beach. I guess they figure it takes money todo that stuff, so he has tohave money. Sadly, tho, most of the money to do all that is gonna be paid off slowly for ther next 20 yrs.
I've owned 8 dodges truck, well, an 80 crewcab 1 ton, a 93 grand caravan, and 5 79 Ramchargers (hence the screen name), and finally my 97 CTD.
I always wanted a CTD, but could never justify the cost vs need. Well, at 41, when gas prices shot so high I couldn't afford to drive my 79 RC to go have fun in it much anymore, I came across a deal I just could not pass up, that allowed me to not only get my 1st CTD, but in doing so, would allow me to finally take my last remaining RC off the street, and really go crazy with mods to it.
I was kinda worried that my best friend, who is a die hard chevy fanatic, HATES diesels, and who says it if doesn't look new, don't buy it, would rib me constantly about it. Well, after he saw it, and drove it, adn realized I am getting almost the same mileage out of it as he does in his 2wd 1/2 ton chevy (him 17 vs me 16 right now), he is now occasionally heard to say he needs to get rid of his 87 chevy crewcab dually 454, and get a diesel.
He even helped me convince a mutual friend that he needed a diesel (albeit he bought a 06 dmax), because of the high miles he drives. before fuel prices shot up, he was dropping over $1000 a month on fuel to feed his old crewcab 4x4 gasser 496 cid.
AS for the girls, I see them looking all the time, but I don't care if it is cuz that hate the noise, or love it. They can look all they want...touching will cost them........
