My girl did, her first car was an 89 Formula 305. After a tree jumped out and bit that one, she got an 01 V6. Traded that in for the T/A ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Didn't get an F body until my fourth car.

Yes my camaro was the first car that I ever bought. Got it for 3k back when I was 18, and I've had it ever since. First car that I drove on a regular basis though was a base model 89 ford taurus.. man I hated that car

1983 Camaro Barlinette ( SP ? ) - 16 I think but it was F'ed with by the guy I bought it from. I had no help getting it running at the time so it got sold. Then I ended up with a 87 Suburban.

when i was 8 i started saving for an ls1 vette. that was my dream car, and still is. i didn't spend a dime until i was 16 hoping that i would have enough. i turned 17 only having 4500 in my pocket so i settled for a 93 formula 6spd. i've been hooked ever since.

Not me...and im glad I didnt. At the age of 17(4 years ago) I took my moms 93 Z28 out for a spirited drive and limped home in it after running it up a curb. I am convinced that if I had a car like my WS6 back then I would have killed myself in it.It only took one fu** up for me to learn not to mess around like that.
lets just say owning an f-body taught me a lot of life lessons in just 6 months
Before i bought the car i was looking into the engine bay at the ls1 and could not believe my dad was letting me buy it.
just picture a 16 year old kid sitting in his first car with an ls1. Well thats got SAFE written all over it.

At age 14, in Richmond, VA, I bought a white with red interior 1978 Camaro sport coupe with a 145 hp 2-barrel 305, a rebuilt TH350, a 2.41:1 axle, a broken left-rear main leaf spring, no muffler, and new P205/75R14 tires on the stock 14x7" 6-hole rally wheels, for $250. On the interstate it got 26 mpg at 55 mph.

F-body is my fifth car.
93 Grand Cherokee (3 months blew up)
93 Chevy Lumina (1 month blew up)
02 Jeep Liberty (terrible POS)
00 Buick Lesabre
Then I got real tired of driving cars my dad picked up for me so at 19 I had enough money saved from when I started saving for a car when the first GC blew that I bought a 99 Trans Am. First car titled in my name.

My first was a '94 LT1 Trans Am in Bright White with an auto trans. That was back in 2000, I was 16 yrs old. It was a total surprise; I was looking for a 2-door Yukon/Tahoe and the parents dropped the keys to that beast in my hand. It had just broken 90K miles and was an absolute cherry; I was the second owner. It was fast *grin* Been stuck on Trans Am's since

My first was an '86 Z28 with a 305 white with ttops at 15. didn't even drive it and bought a 96 silver Z28 with an LT1. Sold both of them and bought a 94 firebird and a 95 gmc pick up and am now trying to get an LS1 fbody as a cruiser. I am now 18.
