My first 3. When I was 15 I got the 76 turned 16 and got the 94 and while still 16 and now 17 have the 2000, the 94 is sold as of tomorrow *crosses fingers* and the 76 I probably won't have restotred and beefed up until im 25 haha. I for some time had 3 car payments got the 76 all paid off now. My parents pay insurrence for me as long as I don't get any tickets. It's nice being 17 and having a job that pays 11$ an hour, I buy everything myself.. and am pretty proud that I can do that.

My first car was a 2001 red trans am a4 with a lid, pacesetter lt's, tsp y, and magnaflow catback for 12K. I took a loan from my parents as in they bought and i made payments. Sadly three months later some fucknut plowed into the back of me while I was stopped doing 60 mph. So the red T/A died that horrible, horrible day. I got 18K for insurance payback.

Fast forward four months and im taking delivery on a gorgeous 1999 WS.6 M6 (what i wanted in the first place) but ive got bad back problems. but i almost think it was worth it.

By the way, I turn 17 in July. I took a loan from my parents to buy the cars, as in they bought it cash and if i dont make payments i lose my ride. I pay my 3K a year insurance and I buy my gas. Its a burden sometimes but nothings better than driving my car. I love it.

I did. It was a 1983 Z28 with the H.O. 305 engine. I think it made a whopping 195hp.

bought my '99 Z28 M6 the summer before my senior year. Drove my parents car the year before that. I worked my *** off for the car and paid for it in cash- 10.5k. I still can't believe I saved up that much when I was in high school. I am now 20, in college, and slowly modding!

what an interesting thread, I hope everyone puts in their two cents....

well anywho, I drove an Isuzu Amigo and an Isuzu Oasis which were my pop's cars in highschool and into college. But I've always had a dream to get an f-body ever since I was ohhhhhh 4. About 18 years later, I've seen a 2000 1sc??? z28... jumped on it. Been fast ever since....

My first car was an fbody I was 13 and I got my 69 camaro for my birthday (big project car).

I also got an fbody for the first car I bought completely on my own. 1999 HO SS that I found here on LS1tech and drove to Az to pick up!

My first car was a 79 T/A that barely ran. Sold it when I joined the military in 06 at 18 really wish I didnt do that. bought my 99 latter that summer though. Never had anyone buy my stuff, only cosign on the loan. And for the record to whoever said it, 18 is not a child anymore. Time to realize you are an adult.
