the car I had right before my 98 TA was a 91 Firebird Formula. While I was once in love with 3rd gens, one test drive in an LS1 changed my taste real quick.

Hang in there! When I was 16 I took my dad to look at an '89 Formula 350 for "him". When we got to the dealership there was a same year GTA sitting next to it. We took it out for a drive and he was all for it. Needless to say I was pretty damn excited as well. When mom called to get an insurance quote things changed real quick though . I ended up not getting my Z28 until I was 26, but it was worth the wait!

Just remember you can have what ever you want. Through hard work and determination come great things. I bust my *** everyday to get what I have. I went to work straight out of high school, I am 23 and have had a 3 lsx cars. Just remember you can rest when you are dead, until then work.
