im 18 i do stuff the way i want it, i like old school, and originality, but i like to take sudden twists, like i put a trans am RAM AIR decal in chrome and put it on my 97 ss. just little things to be different, yet keep it looking original, not a fan of euro tail lights and big wings and stuff like that

21 here 6'5 180 mothers maiden name...but really this is my second formula and this one is turning out a lot cleaner. This is because I have learned from this site as well as the good and the bad things I have done to my old car(Loudmouth on my 90 Formula baaaad) Its true I dont have the freedom on this one because I had the other paid from the start and had cheap insurance. This one I am paying on have high insurance and I have an apt now. So life changes and maturity can change a modder's mind and taste.

I fell in love with the LS1 Trans Am when I was 15 years old. Had a job ever since to save up for one and finally got it at 18.

I'm 19 y/o now and am appreciating all the hard work I've put in. Go LS1 Nation!!

Soon to be 40. Tasteful, but with my own sense of style. So far, most people like my style.

Based on this poll, I'm getting to old to have my Camaro (although I don't drive it much- 12.4K on it so far). I'm way into the Corvette demographic. I'd really love to have a Corvette but I think I would miss my Camaro if I sold it.

How about 60 this September, man you guys make me feel like an old fart. I'll tell you though I drove 2+ hours to the Gainesville Raceway and got in three runs last Saturday. I'm 6'4" and 230. My first brand new car was a '68 Camaro, I really thought it was fast back then in reality about high 14's.

46 here. Satchel Paige once said "If you didn't know how old you were, how old would you be?". Why I like doing young things - tennis, cars, sports Hooters etc. Had the choice 3 mos ago to mod the TA or get a Vette and just ride around. Chose to mod the TA. It gets more fun every day. However, I am only just one mod away from divorce.

i'm 18, going on 19 this may and my taste in style hasnt changed, i like the nice clean looks of a factory car, but i'd like to highlight some area's of the cars features to bring them out more (not like litterly highlight it with the pen but make them more bolder, like the lumps on the hood make them buldgeier)

i'll be 47 in a month or so. i'm fairly conservative in appearance mods ... i want them to be subtle and for someone to have to look twice to catch it. performance mods are good.

looking to move to a C5/C6 in a couple of years, without getting rid of the 99 Z or the 69 RS. i've owned a few nice cars over the years .... driven too much crap also. wish that i had kept the nice ones.

i'm open to ricers that aren't way over the top in appearance. a well engineered car is a well engineered car. period.
