                  Ken, wasn't that pic taken at the gathering in Atlanta? I wasn't there but I seem to remember that pic showing up afterwards.

                    Here is my first Camaro. I bought it when I was 17. It is an 86.
                    I got tired of the V6 fast and transplanted a 350 into it with a 700r4.


                    This is the car I sold the 86 for while in college. It is a 87 Z28. I put Iroc wheels on it, foglights, decals and a very stout 350 built by now nascar engine builder Rick Kippley


                    While in college I decided I wanted a brand new LT1 Z28. The 4th gen had just come out and I was in love. I bought this black M6 Z and totalled it with 12,000 miles on it after 1 year.


                    The insurance company gave me enough for the wreck to buy this Z28 A4. This was the first car I transformed into an Ultra-Z. It ran a best of 13.69.
                    I drove this car on Hot Rod's Powertour in 1996 and 1997.


                    As my life changed, I had to sell the Ultra-Z to buy a house. I used a little leftover cash from the sale to buy this really clean 88 Iroc.


                    And, the Iroc was sold for this black 1994 Mustang GT convertible. I was somewhat unhappy with the overall feel of the Mustang and really wanted another 4th gen F-body. It had to be a M6 convertible.



                    And, that is how I came across my current car. My Brother In Law bought the Mustang and I was free to get what I really always wanted but never actually had.

                      This was my dad's until it headbutt a Beamer-



                      I have a picture of my first car, but it scanned poorly. Haven't quite figured the scanner out yet-



                      Looks like it should be riding on spinners and bouncing up and down. I never quite had the time or money to do everything I wanted to to that car.

                      Ken, thanks to your pictures I can't wait until tomorrow to drive my T/A again

                            Hey Fred, I guess I was not surprised by the B&W film, but what did shock me was that your first "car" was not being pulled by a horse!
