Always wanted a 64.5-66 mustang coupe or a 67-69 couger xr7. Then i got 85 iroc and loved gm and F-bodys since. I think I'd take one now though and swap a LSX in out of spite!!!!

I was born in 83 so this reflects what I was interested in and what I wanted.

From 5y/o-10y/o I wanted a Black 77-81 Trans Am (Thats what my step-dad had and that want still exists to this day)
From 10y/o-12y/o I wanted a Viper. I thought they were the coolest cars on the planet because they just came out.
13y/o-15y/o I wanted a black WS6 Trans Am because of these ads


16y/o-now I want a 99 30th anniversary Trans Am
17y/o-now I wanted a C5 Z06 (I recently bought a 99 C5 FRC with an LS6, M12 transmission and Z06 wheels. Its as close to a C5 Z06 as I could get)

1967 camaro ss396 with the m21 4 speed manual trans. I have loved camaros since i was little and a friend bought one of these in high school for $7500 with 60k original miles then sold it a year later for $8k. After going to car meets in it i wanted one.

When i was like 10-12 ish i wanted a viper because they had just come out and there was a bad *** tv show about a crime fighting viper, called Viper lol.

Also wanted a tucker, a toyota supra (mk4) those were new when i was about 10 ish. I heard the song hot rod linciln and wanted to build the car lol. I also wanted to own a hot rod shop making nothing but old hot rods till i realized a lot of guys my own age had no idea about the history of modding a car and were all about imports.

That is exactly why I wanted one!! I remember it looking a lot cooler when I was 12 tho LOL

I sure do love the "swap donk" version of it tho... Hmm that must have been the hillybilly in my talking again.

Back before, and when i started driving i was really into low rider mini trucks. That was back in 02. Had a mildly modified 92 nissan hardbody for a couple of years. Thought it was some hot **** lol. Big stereo, chrome rims, neon lol, etc.

One night a guy with a 360whp 2nd gen eclipse gave me and a friend a ride to the bar. He got on it a couple of times and it blew my mind lol. I had to have something fast after that. Wanted a 350z to ''hop up'' so bad lol, but never happened. Wound up owning a few imports in the meantime.

Few cars later, and still trying to get the one i can try to make fast lol.

I Truly had an obsession with this car and mustangs in general. But I will never forget my first test drive of an LS1 it completely made me switch sides.

69 Chevelle SS 396 with a 4 speed. Looked at a purple one with flames when I was about 20. It was NICE and the guy wanted $4K which was too much for me
I had a 68 and a 69 Malibu but they were not cool. Totaled both of them

Oh I almost forgot! The GMC van the A-team (80's a-team) drove! There has never been a van that screamed bad *** like that one! Hanging out the side with a mini-14, army jeeps hitting conveniently placed jumps that send them flipping through the air! And the best part is no one ever gets hurt, good clean fun! T hates planes!

You should have stopped by. If we were open I would have shown you around. We always have some ridiculous cars in the shop.
