Thumbs up

My first car was a 50 Chevy not sporty at all. My first sporty car was a new 69 Camaro and later a new 84 Mazda RX-7, both fun cars.

The first car I bought was a 2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged, then I traded that on my Challenger.

My first car was a 1972 Olds Cutlass 2 door with a 350ci rocket V8. I thought it was "sporty". From there my next three cars were all 1969 Camaros with the last one being an SS 350 4 speed. Definitely a sporty one. Wish i had it now. Many cars since then!
