My first car was a 86 Monte Carlo SS with a 305 h.o. I got it the day i turned 16 i paid 3,000 cash for her. She had only 66,000 miles on her and she ran good. My friend had a 76 monte carlo with a 350 and he wanted to race me he said he would kick my ass. Well the took our cars to the first red light in town and boy did i kill his 350 off the line and on top end. I have just about any thing they could cram in it. I don't have the t-tops thats the only thing i don't have i have the posi rear end i can leave some long black marks on the road. Now im 18 and plan to keep my baby a long time in about 2 year from now it's going to be a pro street rod. I have flowmast true duels with 3" glass packs on her. My friend said he could hear me start my ride and he lives 5 blocks down from he. I got a ticket last year for the car being to loud but i never took out the glass packs and when i come up to a cop i just let off the gas and let it cost. She geting a little old now i think she has just over 105,000 miles on her it about a month or two im going to put her up for about two years.

My first car was a 1985 Mercery Grand Marquis with the 302. The throttle body injection sucks, but gets the job done. Grandpa bought the car new in 85, sold it to dad in 92, who sold it to my older brother in 95, who in turn sold it to me. Kind of a family car I guess. It is loaded with all the toys, leather, power everything, and ride engineered baby. Talk about a real tire smoker, well was a tire smoker. It has 169,000 on it, and showing signs of wear. I put the first dent into it last week while backing out of a parking spot and knicking a fricken light pole. Oh well sh*t happens. I still drive it today. I do have a second car which is a 96 Monte Carlo Z-34. Fast enough to be a 95 3.8 Mustang, and a 91 5.0 Cougar. Nice, but not fast enough. I had a third car for two weeks. It didn't run when I bought it for the price of a used microwave at a garage sale. I got it running, then blew up the motor trying to see how much power it had. Oh well, cheap fun that didn't last very long. I got what I paid for it from the junk yard because the body was completely straight. It was a 82 Olds 98 with a 307 4bbl q-jet (aka quadrajunk) no power, and drank (gas) like a fish. Sorry to bore you, but I don't think I'm doing too bad for a 19 year old college boy who has had to pay for everything since he was 16, including all cars and schooling. Later and happy motoring.

ok. im only 15 and i built my first car lat summer wih my dad. it's great, it has a rebuilt 307 now a 312 and is a white 70' nova. it's a junkyard hotrod right now but i still have a bunch of work to do on it. it's kinda hard to do the work on it cause im stuck in military school!! it's Feb. 8 01 right now and my b-day is march 17th. i will more than likely get my license then. i'm running 2 inch straight pipes w/ 2 chamber flowmasters which is super loud, and have these volvo heated seats in it. i know it sounds crazy but hey it works. all leather interior, and still mostly stock!! the only things that aren't stock are the seats, shifter, tach, and steering wheel. it'really low. i've got a brnd new front end with hotchkins springs and shocks. also new body bushings. i plan on droping the old rear end and putting in a new one w/ springs shoks tires, drag stars, and traction bars. it's a good car(even though i don't posses a license)but still needs work. i spent allready about 4,000 on the front endand accesories. plan on dropping a 454 big block in this sumer when racing season comes around!! see ya on the strip rodders!!!

My first car which is still my car (still 16 only had car for 6 months) is a 90 Chevy Lumina Euro Sport Sedan. Origonally i thought the car was a piece of crap. Been in my yard for 7, 8 months at a time. It would always die on me when ever i let off the gas. But we somehow got it fixed (don't know how really replaced everything but the engine, well practically) Its a great car though. A friend of mine has a Mustang 3.8 and always wants to race but the funny thing is if you look up the 0-60s and quarter miles they are the exact same. 9.9s for 0-60 and 17.3s on the quarter mile. Either Ford sucks or Chevy defies all odds. My car weighs 1000+ lbs more lacks .7L and has a lower top speed. Who would of thought. Right know I am planning on getting bucket seats, Catback exaust, a Corvette Grand Sport Paint scheme, a Turbo ($3,000 EEK!), a full size spare, Nitrous (For the track), and reduce its weight by removing the back seat, stripping the back doors of everything but the interior and welding them shut, adding roll bars, one piece nose that tilts forward, sun roof, and cool looking fin. All in time though. :)

My first car was and still is a 1985 monte carlo ss. I can remember clear as day I have a friend named Pat and we were going on the TCH and he told me to punch the gas. When we hit 255kph, the car shifted into its last gear that we didn't know it had. The only thing that we could think was holy s#$t! So the main point of this story is the my car can cruise like hell.

My first car,which I will be riding soon,because I'm 14 1/2, is a '67 Chevy Impala SS.It's white,with a black vinyl top and red interior.It came with a 283v8 which was switched out a few months for a 350,although the first is still working great!We have the orginal SS hubcaps also.We have been restoring it little by little for the past year.It has the corvette rallys on it right now with redwall tires.We bought it from a friend who was moving to Dallas and already had a few cars and had to get rid of one,so he sold us his Impala for $1000!It was running great,nothing was wrong but the right rear quarter panel which we finally found and replaced.It's a great and fast car.I love car's and especially the classics like chevelles and the mustang 2+2. We're putting cherry bomb glasspacks on it also.Everything is original,we even have the manual and warranty for it in 1967.Feel free to e-mail me if there is any questions,which I have a feeling that was a stupid thing to say unless there is someone with a question.So far we have $5000 bucks into it and I'm paying for it all by myself so I dont feel Im spoiled.

It runs good and its fast...its got a 350 V8 with a turbo 400 tranny....it has a horrible exhaust leak that makes it sound like a giant fart driving down the raod....and uh yeah, thats my car.

Also he will alternate with all CAPITAL LETTERS to try to look different. We aren't fooled, chump. Send in real stories only - this isn't Penthouse Letters edition OK?

well heres the story I fell in love with the fox bodied mustangs when i was about 12 then the time finally came when i could get my licsense i bought my car off of an old guy it was an 88 mustang gt with a 302HO and a 5spd tranny, with 104,000 miles on it the interior was suprisingly perfect the outside had a few dings but nothing noticable unless you knew where they were I payed only 3500 for the car and it was exactly what i wanted. It was one fast car, the only race i was ever in was against a 99 camaro Z28, i thought for sure i would lose, those cars have up around 305HP and my car came stock with 225 and 300ftlbs of torque however it wasnt stock and i didnt lose, i won by a small margin but i won. The only mods i had on the car was an exhaust which was turbo mufflers and i cut two holes out of the ground effects so i could put 3" exhaust tips on it. It also had a new clutch from ford motorsports. There was another mod on the car before i bought it but i didnt know until i put head gaskets on it. Well thats about it other than it would burn the shit out of the tires im guessing it ended up with around 300hp, then the day came when i had to sell my dream. I bought a 77 ford f150 with a 390 and straight pipes but i regret it to this day. right now im looking for a 77-79 trans am (you know smokey and the bandit).

The very first motorized vehicle that I owned was a 1979 Ford F-100. This baby was and still is a beast! I bought this truck for $800 from a guy my Dad works with. His son drove it into the ground. When we went to get it out of a nearby field there was grass growing in the bed! Needless to say there was a little rust back there. Anyway this thin g has stepside bed, 311 cid (300 I-6 bored .030"), machined head, and a 5 spd from a '91 F-150. Painted midnight blue with 400 grams pearl/pint. Oh, the trouble that the Blue Bastard and I got into! Burnouts around Sonic, doughnuts in the school parking lots ect. Although I did learn how to side step the clutch! ( Ah...the skills of a mispent youth!) The one lesson that I will always take from "The Blue" is that they all break. They are just machines with personalities. If they are treated rough they will break. However, everything can be fixed! I guess that is why Blue is still with us today. He sits in my yard waiting for the day when he will be called into action once more! After Blue I bought a '66 Stang for $625 and proceeded to rod it out... But that is another story.

jeeze, i'd give my left nut for some of these cars you people have on here. some of you dont sound very educated, and most sound like lies..anyway..so heres my story..i had a fishing buddy from the time i was 5 years old. when i was old enough, he decided to let me work at his carlot/insurance agency. i worked through the summer and almost all of the fall for absolutely no cash. the last day of work, he took me to an auction, and told me to pick one. i had just turned 15, and was really into newer cars, but when i saw a 91 firebird formula ws6, my jaw hit the ground. as soon as i saw it, i thought SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT!! so we paid $1,500 for it, and i drove it home. my mom decided to sell her cherokee and give me the cash from it to pay for mods. i put flowmasters, a practically new 396 from a 70 chevelle, new paint, some fat nasty M/T's, and i went through 2 trannys. (the first time i had a new one put in they decided to rip me off and sell me a remanufactured tranny). i got personalized plates (1BDBRD), and a double shot of nitrus. never got to use it because the day i got it installed, i flipped the bird 2 1/2 times going to eat cake at a friends house. t-tops were off and i wasn't wearing a seat belt. came out with 6 stitches and a license plate....thats all i have of that car..*sniffle* THE END

My first car was a rare 1979 Ford Fiesta, (not Festiva!!!) It had the 1.8 4 cylinder engine, and was silver and had a yellow racing strip dow the sides. The interior was black and had yellow strips down the seat, and i had taked out the interior light and put an overhead digital clock out of a 87 ford exp that my friends dad werecked. I had the car for 2 yrs and i sold it in 1998 for $500. There was noithing really wrong with it, and it drove great, good gas milage, etc... I really miss it.

my first car was a 1969 ford f-100. i picked this up in a little town of gaston, oregon for $1750 cash. what i thought to be a stock 360 cu. in., turned out to be a pretty stout bored 380. while cleaning out the truck, i found reciepts for the bore job, mickey thompson slugs, a mild isky cam, and a shift kit for the c-6. it only pulls 14's in the quarter with the headers uncorked with slicks, but it'll beat a honda!!

My first car was 1967 Rambler Rebel 2-door, 232 6-banger automatic,17 just out of high school. Would max out at about 90mph on the interstate (more down hill with a tailwind!), cornered on it's rockerpanels, and used it like a jeep(kept snow tires on it year-round)! I was sent to Germany left it with my mom and dad, brother parked it into a bridge pyling, he lived with little injuries, Rambler is in Rambler heaven. It was fun while I had the old Rebel!

My first car was a '67 chevelle. I was 18, just out of high school and had saved money to buy a car when i saw it sitting in some old dude's driveway with a "for sale" sign on it. He let me take it for a test drive and while I was out driving it, I wanted to see how much power it had so I took it out to a highway that didn't have much traffic and when nobody was around I proceeded to attempt a burnout. The car smoked the tires with hardly any effort and at that point I knew it had to be mine! It had a 283 which I eventually replaced with a 350 chevy, high perf cam and carb, high perf exhaust was added to increase the HP which is now rated at about 400. I've had it for 10 years now and it has seen many car shows and burnout contests. About 3 years after i bought the chevelle, I bought an '88 F-250 to drive while i was "building up" my chevelle. I still drive them both but the chevelle is mostly a "show" vehicle now. I hook up the trailer to the F-250 and haul the chevelle off to the next show.

My first car was a 1964 Plymouth Fury 2 door. It had a Chrysler 413 wedge with a four barrel and dual exhaust with glass packs. It went like hell and beat most of the Fords and Chevys in those days. Gas was 45 cents a gallon 50 cents for high test. This car could ruin a pair of BIAS ply tires in a weekend and would do a half block burnout. I could not keep transmissions in this car probaly because of the way in which it was driven. I learned to do a lot of wrenching on this car which has stayed with me today. The thing I liked about this car was that you coulf sneak 5 or 6 people into the drive-inn in the trunk. the thing I liked least about this car was the amount of trouble I got in while I owned it. Maybe it was the attitutde of the operator? I finally sold it and bought a 71 Duster with a 340. That is a different story.

hi im alex and i am 16 years old. my first car is a 1984 porsche 944 that i received a few months ago for the generous price of $2600. the car was in very good condition, but being the idiot i am, i have wrecked it already...twice for that matter, but anyway i've learned a lesson or 2 and it is now in the shop gettin a lil' suspension work done on it. it should be done in a few days, or shorty after christmasbreak. I am getting a system put in it for christmas, and plan on getting it painted black to replace the rather faded red paint. Also Since i am already borrowing about $4000 to pay for the car, and the damage ive dont to it, i plan on throwing on another grand to purchase these awesome BSB Dubs(20 inch rims) to replave the rather small 16 inch porsche phone dialers. This stuff i am doing to my car might sound rather expensive but payments will only be about $250 a month including insurance so its well worth the borrowed money. After i paint this baby and get my dubs, not only will this car be badass,, i will be one pimpin mofo(as if i wasnt already) - alex "keanu" ramsey

My first car was 1985 chevrolete, chevette. I bought it from a farmer for the price of $45 and I steared it home. I threw a battery into it and poured gas down the carborator and it started the first crank. The trany was dry and it only had reverse. So me and my friend Jamie were going to replace the trany. We started to push it back and it was headed straight for a 79 chevelle, so my freind slamed it into park and unseased the trany. And I haved baged it ever since.

My first car was a 1987 Monte Carlo SS. It was flat white with the modified injecter off a 1944 Chevey Challenger. I had the hubcaos custom made with my initials on the stem. Well,one night I was with 3 of my friends on an old back-road in central Michigan, with a full tank of gas and the pettal on the floor. After about an hour we were getting back when I heard the''all too firmiliar'' coughing of an engine with an empty gas tank. For 2 hours we sat on the side of that road a million miles fron nowhere, and if you don't believe in mericles, this'll convince you. A large van full of Boy Scouts on their way to a campout come driving up. 10 years later I've still got that car.

Funny how things get started...I'm 12 and my love for cars were already strong. My folks and I are a Pontiac dealership and ended up buying a 92 Firebird with a 3.1 V6; completely loaded with all the goodies. I'm just turned 18, and the keys were given to me just a few weeks ago from my mom (it was my mom's car). I've driven this car many times before I was 18, but now I can say it's mine. It's in perfect condition. Little dents here and there, but nothin' to gripe over. Bright Red with tan interior, I usually can take lots of V6's. It's not the fastest car out there, but it gets the job done without much fuss. I love it, and plan to only own Firebirds till the day I breathe my last breath of fresh air. I get a lot of hate because of me being Asian and not owning a Honda or somein' like that...but honestly, I would take a Firebird over anything. With 106,718 miles on it...I plan to drive the hell out of it, then I'll get another Firebird...2001 Trans Am.

This story is about my first real car i've had two other cars an 84 ford tempo and a 91 chevy camaro now I have a real car. A 67 Ford fairlane (ranchero) i bought it for $800 and she was junk now i've replaced the front half frame and rebuilt the engine (many performance upgrades) including jacobs ignition (full kit) long tube headers flowmaster (two chamber) mufflers A lunatic cam kit stage 3 shift kit a TCI 3700 stall a wieman dual hi-rise intake two 650 cfm edelbrock carbs pro cylinder heads cragar smoothies and m/t (mickey thompson) meaty whitewalls 13X15 rear 4X15 front. It still needs to be lowered new interior and a painless wiring kit (for gauges brake lights ect.) Also a new coat of paint wouldn't be bad. Right now she don't look good but when a car does wheelies you know it's sweet.

I am 16 and my first car is a '72 Chevelle. Its has a 350, its white with black stripes, and has Cragar S/S mag wheels. I got it about 5 months ago and I love driving it. As of right now its in the shop getting new front fenders, inners, and rocker panals. I'm saving up for flowmaster mufflers, headers, and probably some other performance upgrades. My car is the baddest thing in the school parking lot and I cant wait to start driving it in the spring.

My first Car is sitting at home right now because I can't get my license yet. I am sixteen and my car is a nice and beautiful 1986 Ford Thunderbird. It's 3.8 liter V6 motor purs like a kitten. The T-bird was bought from my neighbor back in August and was given to me on my sixteenth birthday. I first had to clean off the bird s*** that was on it because my neighbor had parked it under a chesnut tree that had crows roosting in it almost every night during the summer. Well I must end my story now and go do some dragging. oh, did i forget to mention that it only cost, my parents one hundred to buy, and me about five hundred to fix. The five hundred was used to put nitro injection and a cd car stereo in it.

my first car doesn't count. i got it at a rainbow nationals in oregon in '97 for 1, count it, 1 candy bar. a snickers. it's true too. but the car was not worth it, at least it got us to seattle, but that's it. a 1983 oldsmobile omega. which oddly enough is the same body type (x-body) as my real first car, the one i just bought. a 1967 Chevy II. cherry, clean enough to eat off of, god i love this car. that's it, i'll be fixing it up the way i want, not stock. and definitly NOT with the 194 l6 that's in it. that's going in my geo metro, which is in my g-friend's and my name, so that doesn't count as a car either. well, that and the fact that it's a geo metro. enough already, i'm done.

I currently own a 1983 chevy maliu and it is my first car. I have done everything for this car and it is a great car, but unfortinately my current occupation calls for me to have a truck, for heavy loading and hulling purposes. This car is a 1983 Chevy Malibu with a 305, 5 liter, V8, 4-barrel engine. I have given it a recent tune-up and I have recently (within the week of 11/21/84) rebuilt the carborator for a peak porformance vehicle. Now I am in need for a truck and must sell it if anyone is interested contact me at my emial.

My first car was a 1968 Dodge Coronet 500. My parents bought it brand new when I was almost 2 years old. When I was 10, my dad parked it in the backyard up on blocks and it sat there till I turned 14 and went to work so I could have something to cruise in by the time I was 16. My dad and I worked on it and I was driving it before my 15th birthday. It was the greatest car. I got a few speeding tickets in it and I was always embarrassing the guys when dragging Main because I had really loud dual exhaust and boys could not stand being bested by a mere girl. But they all called it the "MEAN GREEN MACHINE" It was NOT green, it was AQUA. It was a 2-door hardtop with a 318. The girls and I would run all over town, dragging main, racing, and partying till the sun came up. I could say I sold the car but I'm not that dumb. I am now 34 years old and still have the beautiful car. I just finished rebuilding the orginal engine and I have quite a long ways to go on restoring it but it will be done. That car holds alot of memories of my dad and I just messing around with it. When I was younger and alot smaller, my spot was sitting on the fender handing him the tools he needed. Even now, although I'm a little taller, that fender is still my spot. I'm hoping to have the car restored within the next 3 years. Then I will be cruising again around the town.

damn you guys with big'n'powerful motors you :) My first car was a 1986 Opel ascona(general motors brand,i don't think it's cars are sold under that name in usa, in english they're vauxhalls and holdens somewhere else but gm sells 'em as they wish, the ascona is cavalier in england). it had 1.6liter 4cylinder carburettor engine, which sucked, drank oil & etc, carbs werent tuned & etc etc. so that summer it got more or less complete engine overhaul(not by me, i lack the skills :/) afterwards it felt pretty good. i fitted it with audio system worth the car since i didnt want to get a new car at that point, it was great for learning since things would broke from time to time and i didnt have to care if i crashed it while driving on the sand roads through forests(it can be really scarey to drive low speeds there, even LEGAL speeds, especially in winter when you have to go so low speeds that it would barely scrape if you crashed into the snow) and it wasnt a small framed shitty car either, it would go ~180kph(dunno how much mph that is, 110-120?) on freeway, i guess the shifts were tuned for autobahns(it's a german car). handling was superb especially after i bought new shocks for it, got some recaro seats too from a friend for cheap. i kinda miss it nowadays.. it took me and my friends EVERYWHERE, i mean everywhere, there wasnt a place in 30 miles where we wouldnt have been with it. and i could go racing sand roads with it.. which i don't want to do in my 'new' car, i traded the ascona off when i bought my current car, 164 Alfa Romeo, dark green ass italian kicker, wolf in bitch's outfit.

my first car was a 1977 chevy chevelle.i worked my ass off for a year saving for a car ,and finally one day my parents brought me out to find one.the search really sucked cause my parents wouldn't let me get a car that needed work or was hot rodded. the first one i looked at was a 69 impala convertable,but i couldn't get that cause it needed frame rail work.later on that night we went to some old guys house and his it was his mom's old car (i think she passed away or something)but anyways i went looking with high hopes and this thing was a piece of junk.i hated it.the body was so rotted in the rear that you could stick your arm in the trunk from the outside,there was a bunch of dents and scracthes too. my dad said i had no choice and that was the car i was getting.it realy pissed me off cause it was my money they were spending and they were'nt gonna spend a dime of there own cash.he also said if i wasn't gonna drive he was gonna fix it and sell it to make some money for himself.(and totally rip me off).so he took my money and bought it off the guy for $400. they had it towed to my house that night. it ran, it just wasn't registered for about 10 years. after about a week of it sitting there i kinda started to like it so i told my parents i would keep it. in about a month we did a lot of work to it.and it started to look better. it was still a couple months before i got my lisence though so i could'nt drive it. so when me and my friends were bored we would sit in it and smoke pot.then finally the day came and i got my lisence.i picked up my friend and we drove to school(i almost wrecked it on the way there).of course after an hour of being there we left.this went on for a while.(actually thru the rest of high school).i used to scare the shit out of my freinds while i was driving it,it was huge ,and very fast.the girls used to love the car. it had many names the slut,the beast, the whip. i spent countless nights and days crusing around in it.it took me to many concerts and partys.finally one day about a week after i put on chrome valve covers i blew the motor out on the highway(i neglected to grind the chrome off the gasket seat area).about a month after that i had it back on the road with a fresh 350.i won alot of races with that motor.a little while after that i was driving my friends home from school and the rim snapped off ,i skidded on the brake rotor for 110 ft and the wheel went thru my friends wishing well(it took the roof right off it was pretty funny). one day i decided to rip the rag top off the car and start making it look evil.it was origially baby blue so i painted it black with flames.then towards the end of the summer some stupid bitch not paying attention to the road hit the side of my car and wrecked it(i was doing 50 mph , she was doing about 20 after coming out of a drive way.)then after that (maybe a week or so)i was driving it and i nailed a 99 windstar and totally smashed in the side of it. so the insurance company totaled my car after i had the first accident. i drove it for a while until i bought a 78 nova. i still have the chevelle,it out lasted the nova. i had alot of good times with my first car, so far it's my favorite.

I'm only 19 years old but i've had many cars. First an 1986 S15 I inherited from my dad. Then a 78' delta 88 with a 403 cid. We welded the rear end at school and took it in a burnout comp. We would have won but to win it had to be a show car. My 78' rabbit did wicked burnouts also. A Nissan Micra soon became my off roader and was still going strong until some ass pulled out in front of me. Untill this point $100 was the limit for a new car. After this I got an Accord (awsome car, Rev to the moon) It was stolen so I got a 88' Regal. I soon traded my mom for her 87' Caprice which I put a 1970 454 cid into, a turbo 400 that would squeele into third. 3:73 gears and 2 1/2" duals made that 4500 pound car fly. 5.0L drivers were always left shaking their head. Two drive shafts, 3 sets of duals, second gear , and one axle later I'm retiring it from its first summer. It ran 14.6 over 100 mph in the quarter with bad wheel hop. Do something different guys, some may ask why but I just say WHY NOT?

I got my first car when I was years old. It was a 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7. It had a 351 Windsor motor that had a lot of power. The rear end was a posi, it had a custom M22 rock crusher tranny, and was a nice shade of blue. I loved that car. I would have probably kept it to this day of someone hadn't rear-ended me that taken off.

My first car was a hand me down. I had ridden in the car ever since I was born. It was my parents first ever new car. 1970 Chevrolet Impala Custom. I was 15 when my dad decided to do some body and engine work. I helped him rebuild the engine and slap bondo all over the fenders and quarters. Stock 350-4 bolt main. Threw on some headers and 3" exhaust, cheap chrome wheels and I was ready to drive at 16. I drove the car all throughout high school and did several mods in 2 years. First thing was to slam the car to the ground. The headers were the lowest part of the car and they barely cleared 1" from the road. Bigger wheels and tires. Freshened the intake and carb. Put a CD player and some bass in the trunk. Redid the interior and the inside of the trunk and was ready for show. Car was Turquoise metallic flaked with black vinyl hardtop. Limo black windows and a custom set of Aqua neon lights. The land barge was finished. Put it in a few shows, only won at one show. Neon light competition. Then I headed off to college. Car sat at home in my parents driveway. The car still resides there today. Bondo is popping out everywhere and the interior is all torn up. Needs a tune up and some TLC. Now I have the car of my dreams. Pearl White Pontiac 1994 T/A. LT1 6-speed. Hypertech Power Programer, Accel Ignition, Borla 3" Cat Back exhaust. Predator Ram-Air Hood, Hurst short shift, Full suspension upgrade, 17" Black ZR-1 Wheels. It's my 330HP Work/Road Race Car.

My first car was bought on my 17th birthday, it was a hot red Chevy Cavalier Z24 with a 3.1L V6. It looked brand new and it could move. However I longed for a Pontiac Firebird, with the 3rd generation body style, so after a year I traded the Z24 in on a 1995 Pontiac Firebird. It was Chameleon-Blue green and beautiful with only 29k miles. It had a 3.4L V6 engine. However, I soon saw the 1998 model of this same car. After months of looking I found one really cheap with low low miles, only 22K to be exact. So I traded the 1995 Firebird in and bought a 1998 Firebird of the same color!!! ( GREEN IS MY FAVORITE!) Anyhow, I love every inch of it and I will never buy anything but firebird ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
