College graduation present from my parents (it was my dad's): 1988 Firebird Formula A4 305 TBI with the WS6 performance suspension from the factory. First thing I did was put Edelbrock headers, a hi flow cat, and Hooker catback on it. Went 16.4 @ 82 bone stock and then 15.79 @ 87 after the exhaust swap. I still use it as a daily driver but that WS6 performance suspension is KILLING my back. It's also a good thing I have an AWD van for the winter because this thing doesn't even think about moving in the snow. I've been stranded many times at work or on the way to/from a show because it started snowing.

My very first car was a 2001 Jeep grand cherokee laredo, I wrecked it during a storm lol. I always wanted a Fbody but my parents thought I was crazy in a V8. So I got a V6 Firebird, I really pimped that thing out with ram air hood cragars borla exhaust lol, looked and sounded good but ran slower then dog ****. Then I joined the Army and got a 2000 Z28, sold that while I was deployed. Bought my WS6 off ebay lol, came home and went on a road trip to pick her up, best R&R ever. I just bought a silverado two weeks ago as my DD.

Congrats b-ron! Yeah my first car wasn't the best car in the world (not even going to mention what it was)... but it was free . Met a guy in college with an f-body and immediately knew thats what I would buy once I graduated and could afford my first purchased car. So... here I am a proud owner of an 01 z28.

1 of my first cars was a 85 v6 camaro that me and my dad swapped a 383 stroker into and a th400 with a shift kit, it was ugly as hell and i looked like total white trash but damn that thing had torque and could just flat blow the tires off all the way through 2nd gear and considering it only had 3 gears i think that was pretty good haha.

I was 17 and bought myself a white 87 gta 350ci with 45000 miles on the clock then sold that and bought a black 99 hawk with 20000 miles and I'm 22. The 87 was good but the 99 is muchhhh better

I have had 12 cars between the time I was 15 and now (Im 19). Only one was wrecked, I just got bored and sold the rest (except the 07 mustang)... the only car my parents bought me was the Bronco II, I tore it up being stupid and then started buying my own cars.

1988 Bronco II
1991 Mustang
1996 Mazda Mx-6
1994 Z71
1987 IROC-Z (wrecked, not my fault)
2001 Explorer
2007 Mustang
1991 Z71
1991 Z28
1998 Z71
1998 Durango
1998 Z28 (In Sig)
And possibly tonight a new 1993 z28

I had a 95 V6 Camaro for a first car. Slow as **** but it was perfect because it kept me out of trouble. If I had my SS as my first car, it would have been wrapped around a tree because I was a moron.
