A 98 back TA was my fourth car overall, but it was the first car I purchased entirely on my own, with no financial help or co-signing a loan from the parents. That made it extra special.

My first was a white 95 z28 auto with a flowmaster muffler. I thought the world of it back in 2002. I ended up wrecking it.
My second was another white lt1 z28, lol. I sold that after owning it for about a year...and I sold in order to buy what I thought was the pinnacle of all cars back in 2003, an 01 Black WS6 6 speed car.

I was in heaven for about 4 months until some drunk guy clipped me on my 21st birthday and it was totaled out. I then took a break from the F Body scene by using whatever insurance money to buy a 1997 Honda Accord cash. Drove that for 6 years until I recently purchased another ws6 after I graduated college.

So I have had the privilege of owning 4 F Bodies and a reliable little Honda Accord,lol for my first 5 cars.

I bought a 1974 camaro right out of highschool in 96. Drove it for 2 years and parked it to start restoring. When I had the money I didn't have the time and when I had the time I didn't have the money. Then in 05 I bought my 2001 WS6 TA. So I finally sold it last summer to pay for the shipping of my blackbird that I added to the fleet.

My first car was a 1998 3000gt SL 5spd I bought when I was 17, had low miles I thought it was my dream car, turned out it wasn't enough. I was planning on buying the vr4 twin turbo but luckily my brother showed me the light and got me into muscle, I was always was a fan of the fbody but didn't ever think of buying one. I ended up buying my 01 Ws6 M6 as my second car at 19 which I still am Next on the list ZR1!!!!!!

First car I bought was my 95 Z28 hardtop 6spd. Drove it probably 200 miles before it spun a bearing.

Then bought my 96 Z28 hardtop A4 put 3k on it before spun a bearing due to the oil pressure sensor backing out on the freeway.

Stopped screwing around with LT1's and saved up for my 2000 SLP SS M6 T Top.

Plan is to tune the 96 into a drag car and LQ9 swap it. I love that car, still have all 3 currently.

First car was a 1989 Z28 Camaro. Got it as a gift from my Uncle when I was 15. Built up the 160K mile engine as much as my wallet would permit. Blew it up. Didn't have the funds to rebuild it right away. Parents wouldn't let me park it in the garage. Junked it. Still sad about that.
