My first car was an '85 Camaro Berlinetta with the 5.0 HO and digital dash. Bought it with my hard earned money at 16. Threw on a flowmaster exhaust, redid the lower quarters on it, and brought it to a shop for a half way decent viper blue metallic paint job. What a great car to have in high school, haha.

Well, I got rid of that last summer (21 now) and picked up my '00 Z/28 that had 37k on it.

Gotta love Fbodies. If I ever get another, it'll be restoring a first gen Camaro for sure.

lol I got lucky but I almost didnt get my car because it was at the time when gas was over 4 bucks a gallon for just regular gas! thankfully I was able to convince my parents and I got a garage queen 2000 Pontiac WS6 M6 for my first car and bought it with only 33,000 miles on it and it was kept bone stock and clean. Since getting it (a little more than a year ago) I've lowered it, blacked out the lights and put a limo tint all the way around, and had a 228r cam put in along with full bolt-ons, with heads going on next! I have not raped this car or beat on it one bit since I got it and still keep it in tip top shape, I also worked my *** off to get it and waited til I was 18 to finally get my first car.

When I goy my first car it was a decision between a Camaro V6 or a Z24 Cavalier. I chose the cavalier due to being a lil cheaper and better in the winter. Three years later I traded it for a Camaro V6 and then traded that in nine months later for the Z28. I missed the z24 and eventually got another for a DD but don't miss the v6camaro.

As funny as it may sound, I know how that is. For some reason, I miss my 2000 Z24. It was just a fun little car. I got it after my '94 V6 Camaro (2nd car). I miss the Z24, but not the V6 Camaro also. Probably because the 3.4 V6 was junk, and had a dead cylinder with only 92k on it. I'll probably also pick up another Z24 for a DD once I get some more money, and my car becomes not so street-friendly anymore. No way I'd get rid of the Z28 for another Z24 though.

1st car was a toyota camry 2.2L
Next was a 1982 t/a pearl white with a 5.7 eddle 750 intake, cam, no cats, 700r4 trans, ford 9", rear end went after 3 months :X had it fixed and was going back, instead of fixing it under warrenty i dumped it for a reliable car to get back and forth to college in.
then i bought a 1999 olds cutlass supreme, power EVERTHING, but not windows lol???
how are you going to put a digital display on a car with manual windows... anyways drove the **** out of that, got pulled over all the time, and showed them my burnt out dashboard and they'd let me off with warnings...
After that I got my 96 camaro v6, loved that car, got it with 73k-dumped it with 146k, only thing that ever went wrong was intake maifold gaskets once and 2nd gear slipping in the a4 twice during all that high mileage.
now i have the car in my sig and coudn't be happier

My first car at the age of 16 was a black 1996 Z28 Camaro. I took a lot of convincing to get my parents to let me buy it but I enjoyed every minute of it.

My first car was a '69 Camaro, RS/SS that was headed for the crusher. I was 14 at the time. Bought it. No engine. No trans. No interior. No glass. No front clip (just the subframe). Four mismatched steelies with bald tires.
By the time I was 16, it was a driver. 396/4 speed. Cheapo carpet. No rear seat, just a couple salvage yard Mustang buckets. Macco paint job. My sister and I had been breeding meat rabbits, so the dash and package tray were covered in white rabbit fur. That, plus the 8-track were really pimpin back then....
I wish I still had it. Minus the 8-track and the rabbit fuir, of course.
