86 Camaro for the first car. Still the most reliable car I've ever had. Until it got smashed by ford pickup anyway.

I got my '95 Camaro when I was 19. It had no options except for cruise control. Hell, it steel wheels. The first thing that I got for it was some proper wheels.

I got my first ticket in it not more than 3 months later. 160 horses is all I needed back then, but I still miss it...

Back when I was getting ready to turn 16 in 1995 I bought a blue 1982 Firebird with a 305 v8 with a 4 bbl and automatic trans with 80k on it for $800. It was bone stock and I never modded it due to being a teen and my parents made me pay my own way for everything once turned 14 and was able to work hahaha.

Almost got me in a lot of trouble a few times but I managed to talk my way out of all but one situation

first car was a 87 firebird I kept for a year or so at 17 and it was a real nice looking car, added some nice rims, stereo system and paint was flawless.

ended up selling it to purchase a 85 z28 that I did a lt1 swap on at the age of 20 from there i had the hp bug ever since. since then all my b bodys have included

1. 87 firebird
2. 85 z 28
3.89 z28
4.92 rs
5.93 camaro
6. 2001 trans am

I did and its been a double edged sword in every way. Its been a dream to enjoy something like this at a young age but there is always a catch. You find out who your real friends are, and who all the jealous haters are very quickly which was an eye opener for me. cops are always giving me **** for how loud my exhaust is also but that's to be expected. Believe it or not, but I have not gotten a single speeding ticket and I've had plenty of WOT passes on empty roads in my area, guess I'm lucky! overall the fun times and memories had with this car far surpass the bad things that have happened.

1984 Z28 H.O. at the age of 16, more problems than you can imagine, did a 350 swap, full bolt on's, great car and will never get rid of it.

1999 Trans Am at the age of 19. Have had it for almost 2 months, only drove it for 2 weeks before going back overseas, then ordered 4k worth of parts for it

1994 Formula as my first car, about a month before my 16th birthday in 2005. Red, t-tops, A4, AR rims. It was beautiful.

2 weeks and 6 days after I got my license I totaled taking a wet corner on nearly bald tires. It was pretty bad. Waited about a year and got a 1998 Firebird (3.8L). Had it for around 5 years and got my 2000 WS6.

21 and I'm on my 3rd F-body. These cars are so awesome.

I got my first car, a V6 Firebird, as a 17 year old junior in high school from one of my teachers. My 2nd (88 GTA), 4th (89 Trans Am), 5th (81 Z28), 7th (94 Formula), 8th (98 SS), and 9th (98 Formula) cars have all been f-bodies. I'm 30 years old now and the only one I have is the 98 Formula and it's not going anywhere. I'm also looking for a Gunmetal Metallic GTA hardtop if anyone has one.
