First car (dad still owned it, technically, it was his, but no one else drove it, and he bought another car so I could drive this one to school)....'82 Monte Carlo....Burgundy with Carmel (curshed velour) interior....it had an AM only radio in it, but we swapped that out...power everything, except from under the hood....only a 229 V-6....I swear it only made about 5HP....no power, but it rode like a dream, handled fairly well for a car that size (of course, you were never going real fast) and had t-tops. I loved that car. I was going to come back after my first year of college, buy it from my dad and have a buddy install a 350 he had sitting in his garage. Dad traded it one week before I came home for the summer. So then, I was rolling around in a '91 Ford Ranger...4-banger with a 5-speed....nothing special and only moderately faster than the Monte. We also picked up a '91 Berretta that summer (4 drivers going different directions at different times)...fun car, but I would rather have had the Monte.
First car I ever bought on my own....'90 Camaro RS....blue with gray cloth interior...305 V-8, power everything and of course....T-TOPS! I loved that car too.
