My 1st car was a 91' Pontiac Grandam at age 16 that my parents bought(when I was happy just to have a car). At age 18, I bought a 98' Eclipse Spyder and modded the hell out of it, now i'm 23 and bought my 96' RT/10 about 2 months ago. Only a couple mods done so far, but gimme time . Still got my 1st two cars which are the daily drivers

My first car at 16yrs old was a 91' Mustang GT 5.0. Darn thing only ran a blistering 15.8 in the 1/4 mile LOL

Mee too, but mine was an '88 GT 5.0. It sure felt fast back then.

"56 Studebaker Commando. Bought it from my aunt for $35. I got half way home when it broke down and my mom had to tow me home. It had a V-8 with three speed on the tree. I rebuilt the engine with borrowed tools and many visits to the library to read Glen's Motor Manual. I painted the engine real nice and put it back into the rust bucket. I was the talk of my senior high class!

 

[Epro]

Interesting stories guys, love hearing this kind of stuff

 

[Kiaser]

1969 Camaro RS (the ones with the flip out headlights). Dropped a 427 into it, 4.11's in the rear, 3 speed, huge tires tucked under the back.

I lived in a small town and anywhere I needed to go wasn't far.

 

[JKVIPER]

68' Corvette convertable in 1982 $3500. The car was a rolling hazard, with a bent frame, leaking calipers, rod knock, leaking top, super hard suspension that would cause the car to change lanes when I hit bumps. Man it was great!!

Loved that car.

When I was 17 my father, very surprisingly, bought me a 1989 Plymouth Horizon. This was very unexpected, but now come to realize why... to cart my brother and my own A$$ around. That car lasted me up until last fall, nine years. Meanwhile 2 years after I graduated from PSU I ordered a 2002 Camaro SS. Less than 3 years later I sold it and 5 weeks later I drove home my 2002 GTS. My everyday, "******" car is a 1992 Plymouth Acclaim... paid 900 bucks for her. I am 26 years old.

1991 Ford Thunderbird SC. It was a great car!

My early series of cars (that I wish I still owned) included:
1965 Corvair Corsa convertible w/4 carbs
1967 Cutlass Supreme convertible 4 bbl carb w/Hurst 4-speed
1969 Corvette convertible 350/350 LT-1
Then I got married, so from this point on it was family sedans and station wagons for awhile.
I had a red 1985 Mercedes S-Class with the Zender styling kit while living in Engalnd for 2 years. What a car!
When my two older kids graduated from PSU, I diverted my funds from tuition to Viper ownership. Best car I've ever owned!

 

[Epro]

I'm hearing a lot of Cutlasses.... So if I get a Cuttlass... It is ABSOLUTELY guaranteed that I will own a Viper

How much money would it take to get around 300 horses? J/C... I would like to get a Trans Am more, but if I can get some major horsepower, then it's fine by me.

 

[Epro]

Ohh problem with the Mustang thing ehh?

Mustangs in my area are HIGHLY overpriced.

 

[JUCD VPR]

Epro ,
Geeze LOL what do they do smoke alot of crack up there in Canada or what? LOL Those mustangs arent worth that much money. I suggest you try tyo buy on in the upper states region and ship it to yourself, trust me you will save alot of money that way. Those guys are freakin crazy and those Stangs looked like crap. The U.S has some nice ones for WAY cheaper. Well to get 300 hp not too much a 91 stock GT Mustang come with 225 add full exhaust, pulley, throttle body, mass air and cold air intake, maybe a 125 compucar wet nitrous system and you'll have over 400 without a problem and the 91's have forged pistons so nitrous does awesome on those cars.
