91 RS. 6 banger with flowmasters and IROC Daytona hood. Got plenty of stares but it just couldn't deliver. So I moved up to a 92 305 Firebird and a 93 T/A. The only thing I really miss about that car was the fact that it was so easy to work on compared to the T/A, and those rims.

1980 Ford Fairmont. SKY BLUE. It used to die when I went around corners. It got me A to B though.

I can't scan my pictures of it, but it was a 1996 Grand Am. It was red, and had the 3100 V6. However, after the camshaft seized and broke, my father gave it to a charity. I didn't get over it until I bought my third (and current) car (94 firebird).

My First car was a 1978 Caprice Classic Landau 2 DR Fully Loaded.

Was my dads first car then he passed it down to me, so I wanted to do a little bit of work to it cause at the time it was my first car and I thought it was pretty sweet. Came with a 305, had that ripped out and put a mildy built 350 which I bought off my uncle for dirt cheap, car went alright for what it was, still a tank, but a nice cruiser!

Mild 350, 2.5" Exhaust with Headers and V-Force Mufflers, 3.73 gear, and shift kit for turbo350. Can't forget CRAGAR SS's

Some pics.


Buddies BUILT 468ci Nova TUBBED.

I had an old 1985 Trans Am. It started with a LG4 305, and ended up with a beat 350 out of a K5 Blazer. I used to love & hate that car. Here it is the day before it was sold with my Camaro.

First ride: (need to find pics of it) '76 elky with a 396/th400 from a late sixty's chevelle. Black on black with vette ralleys....was a real fun car.

First ride I have pics of: '87 foxbody vert. Had a nice little heads/cam 306ci w/built T5/3.73's. Even though it's the only furd I ever had and it wasn't very fast, it was one of the most fun cars I've owned, would love to have it back. Pic:

My first two, bought the 87 s-10 5-speed when I was 15 and got the 85 Monte Carlo 305 a few months later when I turned 16.



Then when I turned 17 the obsession started

MY first car was my WS6, but before that It was a few learner cars owned by my parents:

1989 Cutlass Cruiser SL Wagon(all the cool kids wished they had it in high school....lol I know the truth! went on to a better place, but logged 445,000kms). I ALWAYS used to wash it, even when it was 12+ yrs old, I hated to see the white walls getting dirty! Cant say enough good things about it! I have some pics which Ill try and upload
1986 Buick Skyhawk(one of the worst cars ive sat in, let alone...well its gone now..)
1988 Buick Century(also sucked!)
2000 Olds Silhouette Van(I cant say anything bad about it, all around great van, would be the vehicle of choice to go long distnce with, lazy with keeping it clean cause its soo big)
