Yep, 95 3.4 Firebird, green. Knew nothing about cars back then except that I wanted a Firebird haha. Parents made me sell it when I got 4 tickets in a year. I really miss that car, I've been wanting to try to track it down. Finally got back into a bird this past June, LS1 this time

My first car was a '98 Dodge Dakota V8 4X4. I sold it in February of '08 and bought my Mom's '02 V6 Camaro. It only had 12k miles on it. I sold it May '10 with 27k on it and picked up my SS in February of '10. I just bought my same Dakota back last month with only 10k more miles on it then I sold it with 4 years ago.

88 SLP Formula 350 WS6 was my first car. paint was faded, interior was perfect though and it would run like a scalded dog. Jeep ran over the hood of it. then had a porsche 944, blew it up thanks to the water pump going out and the gauge not working. 92 anniversary RS camaro was next, 89 GTA 350 was next, then my 89 Iroc, then a KB mustang. Now sitting in my 01 WS6 and i love it.

88 slp formula? i dont think slp was around in 88, if they were they didnt do anything to the formula, i believe 91 or 92 was the first year they did anything to the formula, and those cars are RARE.

88' Red GTA here back in 1998. Loved and hated that car. Motor seized the second day I owned it. Had non stop problems with it on a daily basis. Then I blew another new/reman motor like 1 years 4 thousand miles later. Surpised that car didn't make me a rice lover because of how big of a POS it was, but I just loved the way it looked. Then I had my fair share of Opticrap LT1 cars that should of made me throw in the towel on Fbods. Finally Now I have an LS1 car and laugh about the L98/LT1 BS I went through. Wish I still had the GTA w/an LS1/T56 combo though.
