oooo oooo ooo me me me. all my friends are jealous, and i made some teachers at my school jealous of it to. the thing is, theres this girl that drives a white bird, but its a zombie, cus her dad gets wrecks and fixes them up. pretty sure its a 6 like mine, but its got dual tails, t/a rear bumper, but v6 front bumper, firebird door tags, and some kind of skirt on the front of it. anyways, hers is an auto and mine is a standard so i win

Damn I couldn't imagine having an ls1 when I was 16-18, I'd have been dead within a week no doubt.

Got my '01 z28 when I was 21, don't think I was mature enough to drive it until I was about 24, as evident from my driving record.

I thought I was hot **** when I was 17 and had that fox mustang running mid 12's. I traded that for a stock WS6 when i was 19.
Im now 21 and I have a 2000 Z28. Apparently I go in the opposite direction as most people, started out with an excellent driving record and went downhill from there. I just had my Z28 impounded today.

I bought a 1994 Z28 6-speed when I was 15... Wrecked it about 5 months after I turned 16. Then I bought a 1994 Z28 automatic and had it for 6 years. I just sold it last July and puchased a 2002 LS1 6-speed with only 6500 miles on it..... Just rolled over 10,000 last weekend.

I bought my 02 Z back in October of 09 when I was 17. Been my daily driver since. Bought it bone stock at 35k miles in awesome condition for a great price. Put over 10k miles on it. Love the car...just wish I could shift it too...6 speed swap when the funds permit. Never gonna sell it...well unless I find an killer deal on a M6... Just love the thing too much to let it go.

Got my red 98 Z28 M6 back in sophomore year of high school(father had a '68 in high school, he thought it was only fitting)... I was one of the first ones in my group of friends to have a car, so needless to say I would pack 4 (or more!) people in that car to go places and it gained the nickname "big red bus". I'm now 22, had the car almost 7 years (still my one and only, so many memories...) and I can't see myself letting go of this car, ever.

My first car was a 95 t-top Z28 auto. Got it in when I was 16 yrs old in 2005 before I even had a license so it sat parked until I got my license in 2006. Drove it to highschool and then college. Modded it and and it was soon time for an ls1 so I sold it in early of 2010 and picked up a 99 NBM SS 6spd. Have been modding my SS since day 2 after I bought it, lol.

ooh, my first car was an 82 firebird S/E with a beastly 2.5 litre 4 banger(0-60 in about half an hour) I was about 18 in the service at the time since then i've owned a total of 3 f bodies, 2 of them 4th gens. (oh I went through a ford phase with a few mustangs and a thunderbird s/c and thats not counting all of my daily drivers.)

is $8495 too much for a 76000 mile 2000 Z? No scratches, no dents, no chips, no rust, nothing wrong. TTops, leather. Also it's an auto

In November of 01' I ordered my 02 ws6. I was almost giddy having to drive 2 hr to pick it up. I got a speeding ticket on my way to get it. It turned out being a "lemon" within the first year the window motor went out, the control for the cruise control and turn signals jst decided to fall off one day, both housing for my running lights had to be replaced, fuel pump went out, and tranny went out. All of this happened under 15k miles. All warrantied by the way. The tranny was the last problem with it. A month later I overcorrected to miss a deer and ended up going over a ditch under two fences and coming to a stop by head on into a telephone pole. Airbag nvr deployed. Totaled. Thank god!! 5 yr later I got another. Same everything down to the color. Presently still have this car. Has Been the greatest car I've owned! Not one problem! Love my T/A. The end.

Got it when I was 17. It was an '84 Camaro Z28. Didn't get the H.O. package, however.
