Post up pics/stories of what got you hooked on Chevrolet, the Camaro, or any other GM car. I'll jump in after a few posts.

My first Chevy got me hooked...'91 Camaro RS, bright red. Probably not the best car for a newly minted 16 year old driver, but it sure was fun. I've owned Chevy's ever since (18 years now)..love them to death.

Both my grandfathers retired from GM, my dad and three of my uncles retired from GM and I worked there for 5 years. I work for Chrysler now, but I grew up in an all Chevy town.

I've always been a Corvette fan, particularly the late 70's-early 80's style. I was born in '85 if that matters. My Camaro is my second car and the first I have bought for myself. My first car, and still my daily driver, is a 1992 Plymouth Duster my parents got for me when I started driving.

I put this old beast together in the late 70's as my Chevy inspiration. sorry for the bad quality pic

Very first car was a 1973 firebird. Have owned 16 vehicles and 15 were GM cars. Currently own 2010 chevy traverse and this Camaro. Will never buy. Anything but GM.

I knew the firing order of a chevy engine before I even went to school.

My great aunts 1973 Olds Omega with a hipo 350. She bought it new in 1973. After she passed on I inherited it and still own it to this day.

lets_go_bills · 02-24-2011, 04:29 PM

I live in a GM town and it's your duty to support the local economy.

I've only owned two vehicles, but both were Chevys and both were good to me. Had a Silverado and now a Camaro. I'm also the future owner of a Corvette.

I'm a loyal person and believe in that loyalty. So long as GM continues to build great vehicles, I'll continue to buy them.

Ghost1LE · 02-24-2011, 04:32 PM

I'm 17, so this is my first car, and I couldn't be happier (Except with an SS... One day), but I think I'm one of the first to really own a Chevy. My aunt has a Tahoe and we may have owned Chevy's before, but none that I remember, so I pretty much started it by fighting for a year to get this car!

DarkObsession · 02-24-2011, 04:34 PM

First car was an 88 Chevy Corsica. I've owned nothing but GM (94 Grand Am, 84 S-10 Blazer, 98 Grand Prix), aside from the Mazda 3 I inherited when I got married. And now my next car will be (when it gets here) 2011 Camaro

But where Chevy runs deep for me is my dad has worked for GM for 35 years. I'd say that's pretty much the definition of "Chevy Runs Deep"

Steve Dallas · 02-24-2011, 04:34 PM

I love Chevy cars, but my first car was a 73 Dodge Charger SE.

I like both Mopar and Chevy though. My last 3 cars have been Chevy (Lumina, Impala and the Camaro).
