First car was a 69 camaro with a warmed over 350, a turbo 350 trans. with a shift kit and a 12 bolt 3.31 geared rear from a firebird.
Paid $800. for it.
Course this was in 1981.
Had a lot of fun with it. Body had major rust so I sold it and got the 1970 RS that I am still working on.

V6 Firebird Autostick when I was 16. Sold it about 6months ago for the 02 WS6 6-speed.
If you wanna see something funny look at the 120mph v6 speedo after looking at the 155mph one, the numbers are miles apart

A 2001 trans am ws6 was the first car I bought. I got it in Jan. of 2008, I was 18 now, I'm 19. My first car was a 99 monte carlo but my parents bought that for me because I needed it to get to school! I love the TA but its for the summer ONLY!

Previous owner had it from 16-21. He only put 46k on it in that time, but oh man did he **** up the paint, lol. The whole front bumper is full of rock chips, like he followed a truck too closely down a gravel road, and there's little dings everywhere.
But this was my first car I bought. I love it. Feels a lot better to buy it yourself than have it given to you (I had a 95 Saturn SL1 given to me at 16). No offense to dudes with cars given to them, just saying that I personally respect this car a lot more than that Saturn, lol. For other reasons too..

Mine was!
'85 TA white w/ 305tpi/700r4.
Mods I did included slp cai, air foil, slp high flow runners, ported plenum, edelbrock lower intake, hooker headers, custom ORY, Hooker catback, bbk adj FP regulator, 1.6rr, accel 300+ ignition, accel super coil, custom PROM burned, 3.23 9 bolt
, trans go shift kit w/ jet billet servos, and b&m holeshot 2400 converter.
All that $$ spent by myself and YES my parents helped lol, and I still lost to 5.0s!! Best time @ local track was 14.06
returned it to stock, and traded for an '86 monte carlo ss. Others owned include '88 GTA 5.7tpi w/ digital dash, '89 IROC 5.7tpi and now on my 4th and favorite, '02 TA WS6.
Looking back it was the perfect car for me though, no matter how fast or slow it was, taught me many hands upgrades and repairs. And no matter how hard I tried I could never break that son of a bitch!!!

My first car was an 88' 4 banger S-10 with a stick 
...it ran off Nitro in a bottle and Injector cleaner 
literally. It had so much it smoked green. Then a few years later I ended up with my 01' RCSB Silverado, man I sure miss that thing. But I traded it off to 99puterss for this 99' F-body .

so how exactly does everyone afford these $15,000 vehicles in highschool? I drove a ford ranger that i bought with a salvage title for $1,500 when i was a 16. Hell I was happy just because it was a 5-speed and i could bang gears and do burnouts. Im glad i didnt own a car as nice as my SS when i was a teenager because i would have beat the **** out of it.
