I got the Formula my father and I built when I was younger. Got it a month before I turned 16. Had to get it running again and needed a ton of cleaning! I was a stupid teen with a ~400hp car. I got in all sorts of trouble with it, but managed to not wreck it!
Still have it. My father passes away last year, just trying to finish the car so I can move onto my next project. Car is going in for paint in July, and getting a T56 swap when I am home in June. Can't wait to finish it and just enjoy it. I loved DDing for for 3 years before I joined the military though, year round. Loved it!
My list goes like this though...
88 Formula 350
1994 Caprice 9C1
90 Mustang GT 5.0
Then I got stationed in Japan... here is my list here, not a fan of the cars here which is why I switch around quite a bit...
1995 Subaru WRX Wagon 5 Speed Turbo AWD
1996 Subaru Legacy Wagon 5 Speed Twin Turbo AWD
1998 Subaru WRX STi Sedan 5 Speed Turbo AWD (Current ride, 20psi of boost at 3600rpm)
My STi is a fun car, but I really miss my V8s back home.

I am 18, my first car was a 97 V6 camaro, then i got the V8 bug and underwent a rebuild of built 383 stroker 94 firebird with a nice suspension, never really finished it and am now partin out, in the mean time I got a 97 ford escort (kinda made me want to shoot myself), then traded that for an 88 camaro V6 and am now prepping to do an LS1 swap to it.

My first car was a 2000 Firebird V6... I was 15 when I bought and started paying on it, but didnt start driving until I was 16. Now I'm currently 19 and last week bought my new 2001 T/A WS6! =D My older brother owns a C6, and my middle brother owns a 2011 Camaro SS.

My sister got a 2000 firebird v6 as a graduation present, it was "too loud" for her, so needless to say at 16 it became mine. its my daily driver and i love the thing to death! finding more and more things to love about f-bodies everyday!

My 99Z28 was my first car,I got it for graduation in May of 2010 so its going on 2 years since I've had it.I got the trans rebuilt about 1000 miles ago but other than that I've been good to my car and my car has been good to me.I wasn't planning on getting a Ls1 camaro either,when my bro got his thats when I really started liking the 98-02 year style camaros,I couldnt be any happier with my car.
