I worked in a pizza shop for over a year after school and on weekends so that when I turned 16 I could buy a 97 Z28. Made me appreciate working hard and saving money. God I loved that car!

When I got my license in '96 I used dads 81 Scottsdale till I got the funds to repair the floorboards in moms 68 Camaro. Once I took care of the floors the 68 was passed down to me thus becoming my first ride .

My first car was a 1996 black on black, fully loaded Z28 with only 60,xxx miles for $8000.

I bought that car back in 2001.

nope. first car was a 96 corolla when i was 16. slow as *****, but incredibly nimble with a few goodies.

then i sold that and bought a mustang when i was 18.

bought the ws6 when i was 19, sold the mustang a year later.

looking back, im glad i had the corolla as my first car. very few kids at 16 have enough self restraint to handle a (relatively) high hp car. i wasnt one of them.
