My first car was a '78 Camaro Type LT. Black with red interior 305 with a turbo 350. My girfriend now wife LOVED that car. Went through three transmissions in 7 months. Sold it for an '87 IROC 305 5-spd. Tuned port. Black w/ red interior. Did that only because the '78 didn't have T-tops. Idiot! Ten years later just got a '98 Black Formula M6. Thank God GM didn't offer a red interior I don't think I could have done it. Two cars with them is enough.

The car that I drove around in HS when I was 16 wasn't an F-body, but it was a Pontiac... an '85 J2000 (Sunbird) 2dr hatchback I bought from my HS auto class for $25. It had the 1.8L I4 and an auto, it started out being pretty slow, but was in good shape. I found a website that actually sold performance parts for it, so I put in a larger cam, the larger 2.0 TB, full exhaust, and a small shot of N2O, lowered it, some wheels and drove the hell out of it up until I was T-boned at a 4-way stop by some lady doing 65mph.
Fast forward to now, I've bought and sold over 18 cars in the 9 yrs since then (there was a point in time I was driving a different car/truck every 6 months, sometimes 2 different ones lol), but I finally got my 2nd Pontiac, my '98 T/A. I plan on keeping this thing forever, provided it doesn't meet the same fate as my first Pontiac lol

I got a 2000 Pewter Conv. SS when i was sixteen and it had 170k+. Kept it basically stock with a loudmouth cb and slp intake.
Sold it when I graduated and got my 98 SS with 57k for $6700. Cleaned it up and spent all my money on it.

My 1996 Trans Am was my first car. Bought it when I was 16 in 2002, bone stock with 45,000 miles on it. I worked my *** off at an ice cream shop to afford it. It takes a lot of hours at $5.50 plus tips to afford a $12k car! ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
All the ice cream I could eat for free was a bonus
