I worked my *** off everyday after school to save up enough to get my first green 96 z28 t-top. I got it when I was 16 from an old lady for $2000. Loved it so much that I moved on to a pewter 99 z28 t-top. Then missed my lt1 so I got a silver 95 project z28 and finally bought my black 2002 SS. I've only owned f-bodies my whole life. Can't get enough of them.lol

Had an 04 V6 Mustang that I did appearance stuff on, and it was dead sexy looking for what it was. It always nagged me that I didn't have a V8, and eventually an 02 Trans Am came up for sale with decent mileage in my price range.

I still wouldn't trust myself with it as my first car. Would have surely gotten tickets and hit something.

My first car was a 93' Z28 hardtop. I got it when I was 17, I'm 19 now and just got rid of it about 6 months ago to get my WS6. Man I loved that car, but I love my WS6 more. Just love F-bodies in general.

First car was my 1994 z28. Bought it at 15 3months ago. Now I'm 16. It was such a piece of shot, but I'm fixing her up. Paint, engine rebuild (383 stroker), rearend rebuild, new interior. She will be perfect one day. And I will NEVER sell her.

Ive owned like a bazillion cars in my lifetime, (8 years and running as a CA drivers license holder), and I am proud to say that my first car was a 95 z28 camaro.. The thing was CHERRY. I was only 16 years old and it was like having sex, but better. I remember the first day I drove it home. I bought from a guy who sold chevy cars and bought it from a customer who traded it in because it was so clean. Not much for engine mods, only had an intake on it, but it had a custom pearl paint, 18'' eagle alloys, painted brake calipers and a diablo flowmaster exhaust, It had 128,000 miles and was a lt1 6 spd that I paid $6700 for. God I loved that car. It was wrecked when I was 18 buy a ****** who ran a red light and t boned me turning into a gas station. I then bought a 97 ss clone that was a **** bucket of problems. i gave up on camaros for 5 whole years. then two months ago i bought a 2002 SS with 86,000 miles. Just finished fixing all of the problems and I am pretty freaking stoked on this car. Ill post pictures of my original later.

I just picked up an '00 Trans Am M6 NBM with 67.5k (now almost 71K!!) on it back in September for $6500. It's a rocket and quite fun to drive. I waited 4 years for the right car and it was definitely worth the wait. Just turned 20 and the car came up as I was looking for camaros on autotrader at the time, too good a deal to surpass, so my hard earned money went right to it! Already has Magnaflow cats, muffler (no idea on the brand, came on the car when I bought it,), 9mm plug wires, iridium plugs, new tires, and a few minor interior repairs (seatbelt guide and sunvisors). Next up are full SLP loudmouth 2 cat-back, retune at IPS Motorsports, and long tubes. Gotta say I do love getting the "daddy definitely bought you that car!" look whenever I drive by people, and can laugh since I bought it. Anyone else on here from Central OH?
