A brand new 1980 Z-28, I was still in high school. My second car, 1984 Z-28, my third S15 Jimmy (got married, had kids), my 4th 2003 Avalanche, (now divorced) my 5th - 2010 camaro soon I hope.

Was going to insert image of my 1980 Z28 but dont have it on a URL - is there another way to insert images?

1990 ford festiva, 4cyl / 5spd - complete with bubbly purple window tint & a flowmaster bumper sticker (but stock muffler).
fuel system was so dirty from sitting over a year that it needed a new fuel filter about every week. my friends always joked about picking it up and carrying it to the other side of the school. i got a pioneer cd player & used a busted JBL home stereo tower from 1980 as a 'system'.

looked sorta like this... just nowhere near as nice

My first car was in 1981. It was a 1976 Toyota Celica Liftback 5 speed. When it rained, the rear window leaked a lot...

Me too!!!...I bought mine new with my own hard earned $$$$$...mine was the exact same color-"Firethorn Red", but not a Trans Am, it was the Esprit...all I could afford back then, but I added a lot of the Trans Am options...couldn't even afford the extra $800 back then for A/C...but I wanted that car so badly, that I did without the A/C...

I knew that the '77 was gonna have the rectangular headlights and I didn't want that...I loved the round headlights, just like the Camaro has the round ones too...

The '76 Firebird was my favorite car and color until my RJT CAMARO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First car I owned was a 1980 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Coupe - Yellow with racing stripes (whoa), manual moon roof and beige interior.

First car I drove was a 1973 Corolla coupe which was my Dad's train station car - he let me "borrow" it for college Junior year '78 and never asked for it back.

First car I wanted to drive was my big sister's '74 Camaro but she refused to let me behind the wheel. When I got my 2010 I did offer to let her drive it (just to make her feel bad for denying me a drive way back when...

I'm hoping to get my grandfathers 1994 Toyota 4Runner. He used it everyday to go to work which was about 5-10 miles for about 10 years until he bought his Volvo. The 4Runner sat in the driveway and when he pulled it out to haul stuff somewhere it wouldn't run. Now he has it running, so the trick is to keep using it (IMO). Plus I can save up some dough for something nice.

I was 16 in 96 my first car was bought by my mom off of her friends son. $3,000 for a beautiful 64 chevelle malibu 4 dr, puke green with a painted white top. 283 ci with 2 spd powerglide man that was the most reliable old car I ever had, loved it. It only had 66k miles on it because her son bought it off an old lady who only drove to get grocery's and go to church. I called it the repo mobile because it was the same car everybody was looking for in that estevez movie "repo man". Before I sold it, shoot me in the head, I almost tried putting a light and switch in the trunk. So like in the movie everytime I'd open the trunk a super bright light would come out.

I tell my mom she is the reason I have v8 itis, only one car I had since didn't have a v8. Here a list of my cars in chronological order.

64 Chevelle 283
69 Camaro 327
90 thunderbird supercoupe, sprchard v6, thats the only non v8 and first
stupid try at a winter car in cleveland whata p.o.s too.
98 WS6 T/A after minor accident painted it viper yellow GORGEOUS!!!
68 Camaro 454 stunning
current cars
00 SS convt white. Magnaflow exh. kept it stock I knew I would be trading
for a 5th gen or Vette.
04 Pontiac Bonneville GXP I hope this thing isn't insane in winter this will be
our first winter together.

my first car was a 1973 Z28.

It was a POS but I loved it and my Camaro love started with it.
