Default What car did u want when u were a kid?

When I was about 16 I wanted to get a civic hatch, fast and furious really brain washed me and wanted a Honda.. After that I wanted a mustang, I always loved knight rider and thought the third gen was badass but could afford it. Well I couldn't afford anything really, I would tell mom to buy it for me lol. My first car was a Nissan sentra 5 speed. loved it to death till it was taken away and sold by my parents.

What was the car u wanted and first car u had when u were a young teen?

When I was a kid, I always wanted a 99 Mustang GT. I used to have a 94 Z28, but unfortunately totaled it driving on ice. Then I bought a 2000 Mustang GT.....drove that car for 2 weeks, determined that mustangs are slow as hell, and I HAD to have another camaro. So I sold it, and bought my current Camaro.

I've always been a spoiled brat.

when I was a kid (pre-driving years) I wanted my uncle's 57 belair. I got it for graduation and still have it. for my own driving, when I was 13/14 I wanted a ford explorer. I got one at 15 and learned to drive in it. At 18 I wanted my grandad's C10 when he died and it was being auctioned. I got it and did a frame off, but never finished.

I wanted a corvette since I was 15 as well, got one at 28, turned out too expensive to keep (kept breaking.. was my only car.. snow.. yea.. didn't work out.)

I wanted an 03 silverado, got it at 22 wanted a GMt-900, got it at 28

never wanted a camaro. but I have one now..

Cars I wanted but never could get? BMW m3, Z06, ferrari...

I wanted my dad's '82 Corvette. It looked just like this one. It was a show car in perfect condition.



He let me drive it for my 18th b-day, but that is as close as I got to owning it. I still would like to have a Corvette, but my '01 SS is a nice compromise.

My first car was a '88 Beretta. It had a 2.0 four banger and minimal features. That car refused to die no matter how badly I abused it.


Quick Reply: What car did u want when u were a kid?
