My second car. I'm glad I waited, because I didn't know as much about F-Bodies as I do now. I would've ended up with an LT1 lol.

I waited 2 years and I have 2 cars now. (I'm 19)

First car was a 92 Z28 with an auto/305 TPI. 305 got modded a little bit and then it eventually got a ZZ3 motor with a ported TPI setup. Man I loved that car.

My first car was an 83 Camaro that my dad and I built when I was 15. Had 420 hp Edelbrock power package, 4-spd, Moser 9". My second car was an 86 Iroc. Ten years and many toys later, I bought another F-body- 93 Purple Pearl Z28 M6. 5 years later than that, I just bought a 98 Z28, A4 virgin. I wasn't going to mod it, but the sickness has come over me. Whisper, Hooker, Borla are waiting for me in the garage...

At 15 I paid $325 for my 76 camaro type LT at 17 I paid $350 for another 76 (better body/interior) drove it for 4 years. Still have both of them
In July 02 I bought my brand new 02 Z28 M6 stripper.
last may 1 month shy of having it paid off I hydroplaned in the rain & totaled it.
June of last year I bought an 00 M6 SS stripper I'm trying to sell this one so I can ressurect my 76.

I had an '85 TA with a cammed, heads, intake, full exhaust 355 as my first car. Primer grey. It ran like a top but started hard as hell. That starter took alot of heat and would crank real slow over. Sold it to buy a 93 2.8 5-speed S10. After that bought a couple grand prixs then now my WS6. Duramax is the work truck.

Bought my 99 Z at the age of 14. Back when my big brother was 13, he got an 87 IROC-Z. That car only has 55k original miles.

Got my 95 3800 camaro when I was 15

Sold that and bought my 98 Z28 when I was 17.

Sold that and bought my ws6 and I am now 18.

I have had 3 f-bodies in 2.5 years.

Now for those of you that may think Im spoiled you are correct in a way. My dad bought my 95 for 4k then I sold that and bought me my Z that cost $6700. Then I bought my 17k ws6 myself.

God this is going to take me forever to pay off.

let's see my my first F body was a 93 Z28 (ugh! yellow gauges) and that was bought brand new back then. Have had 5 F bodys to date since 93 and two of them were SS's. And now to date my self, my first car was a 1966 Ford Fairlane with a 289 High Po. By time I was finished with building that it had well over 500 horse. Tunnel ram, two Holley dbl pumps, etc. and doing 10 sec qtr miles, But some of the guys I went to high school had Motion Camaros, Bergers, Superbirds, Superbee's, Cuda 6 paks, Tri power Corvettes, and when they were still cheap! Ah! the good ole days! oops! and a couple of hot rodded VW bugs with cyclone purple beetle boosters, Hey! do they still make those?
