Mine was a 87' Firebird Formula. I was 19 when I got it (6 years ago). I only had it for a year cuz I managed to rack up a lot of tickets, which assraped my insurance rate. Lots of good racing stories with this one.
It had 5.0 tags but the guy I bought it from had the engine worked to a 5.7 350. He even showed me the receipt and shit. The car was in such crappy condition though, the owner surely beat the fuck out of it. First day I had it, the Y pipe disconnected from the cat converter when I tried racing some kid with the same car... the damn pipe was barely connected to it the cat to begin with... I then learned what the last owner meant by 'it has a little exhaust leak'. RIGHT.
I didnt care about the cars condition when I got it, cuz when he first turned the car on, and I heard the low rumble of the flowmasters, I was SOLD.
The great thing about buying a sports car that needs work on it, is each time you fix something, its like ya just got a new car.
I ended up selling it to a kid just as dumb / in lust with the car as I was when I first heard it. But I had a semi-decent sound system put in it, maybe he was sold on that sound, I dunno.
oh yea.... any1 who knows these cars know the backseats are a JOKE. I still managed to fuck a lot of girls in the backseat... and I even did quite a few 69's... but getting UP from those was fucking a royal pain in the ass, and back, and neck.. I thought I would share this info, because, I felt you needed to know that.
So what was / is your first car?
