Here are ALL the cars I have ever owned. Some of tham bring back lots of fond memories! I'm 31, by the way. I change cars like I change my underwear. Depending on financial circumstances I might be looking to sell my current car and get a LS1 WS6 T/A M6 ragtop in the next year. I've never owned a LS1.

I purchased the 1987 Z28 from my dad when I was 19. It was actually the car I learned how to drive in. It was also the car that brought about my love for the f-body. I've never owned a firebird, and I'd really like to someday.

Cars

Im 18 years old and my first car that i drove was my dads 2000 Ford Explorer that had a 5.0 liter and 3:73 rear (wasnt bad for an suv). I drove that for about a year, then since i was driving so far back and forth from football, my grandpa gave me a mercury topaz with 185000 miles on it. Its top speed was about 75-80 but it got me around. Since i was 13 years old i have always wanted a camaro. Well a few months ago i found a 1996 Z-28 6 6-speed. After about five that i looked at i knew it was the one. Its an all black coupe, with no power options, except steering, and 4 wheel discs. It has 80,000 miles on it which mostly were highway miles, and a few mods, and best of all its getting a new clutch installed on tuesday.

My snow vehicle would have been a 1988 Ford Bronco, mint condition with bf goodrich snow tires on it, but my sister flipped it the day i got my permit! It now sits at a junk yard around the corner. Now since the snow is coming my gf will drive around in her little toyota solara.

My buddies from school have, 1995 z-28 M6, Mustang Saleen conv., 2001 corvette, 1994 mustang with a v-6, 1989 H.O. Trans am, and a 1998 camaro v-6

[Jay 02 TA ws6]

My first car was a 1998 Green S-10.

Traded that in for a 2001 Saturn SC-2.

Then I bought the 2002 WS6.

Recently, I bought a used 2001 Cavalier to get me around in inclement weather.

That's all for now

[Joe K. 99 Zeee!!]

'89 Turbo Sundance 2.5L - My first car and was a lot of fun. It's too bad it didn't last too long. At 150HP/170ftlbs and weighing in at only 2700lbs it could surprise quite a few cars out there. It started to burn oil though and the engine ate itself at 75k. It got a replacement engine and is still out there somewhere.

My next car I got right after I graduated from college....'98 Camaro 3.8. After a test drive of a '97 V6 I was sold...I replaced my '98 with the car below in 2000.

1. 1981 Ford Mustang 2.3
2. 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse
3. 1991 Chevy Camaro

I always loved muscle cars it was brought on mostly because of my dad and uncle, My uncle had a 69 stingray 454 and dad had his 70 cuda 340 and i grew up in them. so when i turned 15 and was able 2 drive...... found a 67 camaro sitting in a drive way, i told my dad and he got all into it and bought it for $2000, came with a 327 4spd muncie and 4:10's. thats the car i learned how to drive stick in and thats where i learned eveything about mechanics and thats what i pick up the chicks in "babe magnet" they dont know wut it is but they like it lol. Ive had her for 2yrs and im not getting rid of her anytime soon.

1)86 Mustang Hatchback - never had to change the oil in it, just had to add some every so often.
2)93 Ford Taurus SHO - Very fun car, but it's a front wheel drive.
3)88? Oldsmobile Cutlass - Drove it around while working on the SHO.
4)95 z28 - Spending way too much money on this thing.

[Fastbird93]

Bought my first car at the ripe age of 17 1/2, a 1984 Firebird SE. Paid $3000 cash for it. It was junk. Carbed 305, 150 HP rating. Traded it in eight months later for a 91 GTA Trans Am. TPI 305, auto, fun car to drive, I miss it. But, the speed bug caught me and 2 1/2 years later I traded that car in for a brand spanking off the showroom floor new 99 Trans Am. That pup was beastly, but kept having problems. Three transmissions (and it was a manual), axle seal, A/C didn't work right from day one. So, after 8 months of ownership, I lemon lawed that car, and less than a month later bought the bane of my existence, a Black 93 Trans Am. That car has been to hell and back under me, seen lots of track time, and has persisted in being a stubborn bastard for the past 1 1/2 years now since the installation of a head and cam package. Then, in July of 2003, a deal presented itself that I couldn't pass up. A member from a previous iteration of the speed density board was selling his purple pearl metallic 93 Trans Am for a paltry sum with ALL the mods. Needless to say, a second one entered into my ownership. Oh yeah, in Oct 2001 I got a free (check was never cashed) 89 Toyota Celica that continues to serve my daily driving needs.

Cliff notes:

84 Firebird SE - bought Feb 96 - sold Nov 96
91 GTA Trans Am - bought Nov 96 - sold May 99
99 Trans Am - bought May 99 - sold Jan 00
93 Black Trans Am - bought Feb 00 - sold NEVER in a million years
89 Celica - bought Oct 01 - sold when it dies
93 Purple Pearl Trans Am - bought Jul 03 - sold not planning to.
