Worked my tail off all summer for a 1990 Camaro RS when I was 16. It was a 305ci 5spd t-top car, and made my high school years a blast!

Hopefully in a few months I will be able to say I have. I was almost about to have to settle for an Acura Integra GSR because of money, but I've decided that I can just get a higher mile LT1 for the same price. I'm praying for that one nice LS1 for a cheap cheap price though.

I was 16 I borrowed some money from my moms boss to buy a 1994 formula.
didnt know a thing about lt1s and knew very little about f-bodys. wish i still had that car. it was fire engine red and loud loud loud!!!
i got a ticket in it (i kidd you not) less than thirty minutes after i bought it.
for reckless well that and no insurance since i had just purchased the car.
the cop said i was racing a truck.. a v6 at that. anyways went to court and paid the fine and ended up letting mommy write the judge a letter and got the case reviewed and it didnt go on my record. about 6months after buying the car for $3100 it started having issues so i reubuilt the motor the opti so on so forth and it sold it for $3200 and it would still only run half the time. the guy who bout it spent $5 dollars and 2 hours of his time to fix it. i was so livid! he bought electircal tape and taped a few wires beside the block that were shorting out.
now i gotta 98 ls1 and love it to death took me 5-6 months to find one in this good of condition.

My first car was a '97 Mustang GT (modded it over time). Got rid of it and bought a '00 Civic EX (left it stock), then just this past Friday bought my first GM/LS1 - a '98 Camaro Z28. Still have my Civic (DD) and now the Camaro (weekend toy). I'm 19 (20 in 11 more days!).

And I thought my Mustang was fast...

Does a 68 count? Bought it in 82, still have it in the process of a full resto and doing a LM7 transplant.
