First car ever was an '88 Trans Am, auto, 305. Got it for $1500... LS1 car came a year or so later. Still have the '88.

First car was the 69 426 Hemi Chrager that my father and I built in the garage. Sold that a year later and bought a 70 Split Bumper Z28 and never looked back from an F Body

First car I bought myself was a 94 Impala clone. It was pretty fast as big as it was. Then got my 99. Had to let go of the Impala cause some drunk idiot decided to plow into it. It was nice having those cars.

1985 camaro BERLINETTA 305 low output carb. motor A4, back in 1997. Slow as **** but fun as hell for a first car at 16. Had a digital dash, whitewalls, and the radio was stuck on a pole attached to the console. It sure was fun hacking that thing outa there.

Yup, had an 84' Z28 when I was 16. Good, nice reliable car. Beat the hell out of it (as most people do with their first car...or second....haha). Only problem was that I popped the front trans seal (700R4) downshifting it like a stick car...what a moron. After that, it just went downhill from there, my latest count is 5 Mustangs & 5 Camaros....haha, just can't stay happy. And yea, it's an addiction.....hahaha

86 Z28 Then sold it for my 83 V6 Camaro that we completely built with a 350 and pretty much anything I could grab off an IROC. Great insurance on that one lol.

I had a 94 Explorer with 300k miles, must be why I don't like Ford's seeing as that broke all the freaken time! Told dad that I needed a reliable car to get to school and he gave me a money amount and then my 2000 T/A WS6 came into my life. 2nd car but my true love. Now i'm 20 and have it, was purchased at 18.
