Yes I do...it was a long time ago......and it was the FIRST new car I ever owned.....and it was my SECOND GEN CAMARO ('76' RS)!!!

[ScottZ28]

I do miss my first car. It was a red 1975 MGB. My Dad's first collector car was a 1976 Triumph TR-6 so I wanted a little British sports car as well. We used to drive them all over the place together. We attended shows, drove down old Route 66 and I even got to drive it at Road America. It was really slow but it was a fun little car. my Dad still has his TR-6 but the MGB was sold along with a 1986 RX-7 in 1996 in order to buy my 1971 Z28 RS which I had lusted for my entire life. The rest is Camaro history.

By the way, my Dad's first new car was a Golden Brown 1972 Camaro with a 307 V8/Auto. He put over 100,000 miles on it and traded it in on a new 1981 Grand Prix. He mended his ways in 1994 when he bought a new 1994 Z28 which he says he'll never get rid of. I know for a fact that he wishes he still had that 1972.

Went with option 1.

It was a 73' Z-28 and I LOVED it. Biggest POS I've ever had. Buned oil so bad I had to keep sandpaper in the car and clean the spark plugs off every other day, but it was fast considering.

Green with black interior. Rattled like hell. But it was MINE.................... nuff said...... lol

["prima"Donna]

As many of you on here know, I had a '76 Firebird that I never got over selling, until this Camaro...
Here are some photos of it....

[SweetSandMan]

It was a 95 Blazer LT with all the goodies....and guess what...half of them didn't work. The Transfer case only worked if you disconnected the battery to reset the ECU. The A/C didn't work. The Driver's rear window didn't work. The passenger rear door speaker stopped working. The Exhaust fell off right before the muffler, the fuel pump went out, and it was absolutely miserable on gas. Sure it looked cool and having a big SUV in highschool certainly accounted for some "cool points"...but seriously...all those things went wrong in less than a year and a half of ownership.

Ironically 2 years ago I bought a 2001 Blazer that I had owned for about a year...and every one of the same problems went wrong with that one (except the window thing). Thank God that pile of shit is out of GM's lineup so I can't make that mistake a 3rd time ha ha. Seriously...the 4.3 Vortec was a fantastic motor...but everything they strapped to and around it sucked monkey sack.

My first car, last year of High School, was a '65 (Canadian) Pontiac Parisienne Convertible, 327/300 with Powerglide, 5 years old with 60,000 miles...with a SEVEN DAY WARRANTY... On the eighth day, I swear, the Powerglide started slipping...Low Range ONLY, eventually... Drove it for 6 months, urban/suburban, with a final top speed of 65 mph.

Traded it even-up for a '66 Beetle...with a Porsche Super 90 engine poked/stroked/tweaked to about 200hp...that was a true "sleeper" that terrorized many a "muscle car"...ran an off-the-street 14.8, something the "Chief" could only dream about...

Did/do I miss the Pontiac? Not hardly...

[tjbusa]

1970 Ford LTD, 390 4 barrel, could pass everything but a gas station, not missed.

[2010 SSRS]

I still have mine, my 71 RS

[ruffian23]

My first car was a 4-cylinder 1994 Toyota 4Runner, passed down to me from my father, and I do miss it sometimes.

[Sax1031]

yes :(

[gml1998]

My first car was a 66 Impala.A few of my friends had older Camaros ,I did not want the same thing so I ended up with the Impala.It was a great cruiser,wish I still had it.

[friskyshouse]

I sure would like to see that 1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk! What a great car that was, the dashboard was filled with toggle switches.

[Rogue Leader]

yeah... like I miss gonorrhea

[68 Z/28]

I'm 58 and my first car was a 55 Chev 210 sedan and was ready for the junk yard when I bought it , was told the engine would prob. not last a month , so being young and stupid I did my best to kill that poor little 265 , went through 2 rear ends , 3 3speed trannies , a ton of U joints before she finally let go but I had the most fun in my life in that car and yes I wish I still had it along with a bunch of others I have owned :(

[toesuf94]

My first was a 1985 Honda Accord Hatchback 5 speed - Gold on shit bringle brown/gold interior. It was quick, the seats were garbage, the tired were flatspotted (sounded like a lifted 4 x 4 with mudders on it on the road!) the sunroof leaked, and it was just plain horrible - but it was mine. Dad hopped in it one day and sat in a puddle from the rain the night before and drove it straight to a Jeep dealer and bought me a Jeep Cherokee Pioneer 2.5 Iron Duke 5 speed. Slowest thing on 4 wheels. Sigh. A few years later, I found MY first Camaro - an '85 Berlinetta V8 T-tops car. Traded my Caddy Eldorado straight up for it. I LOVED THAT Berlinetta. Sure wish she was still here.

[PAUL SS]

I miss it. Should have never sold it. It was a 73 Z28 that I ordered and bought new. Unlike Randy's it was not a POS, but a real head turner that didn't burn oil, just the rear tires. My SS has helped ease that pain quite a bit.

[Jicata]

Mine was a 1998 Cadillac Deville in Diamond White and so many more luxury features than I needed Lol. It had seat massagers!

Although the first car that I drove when I got a learner's permit was a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS 327/Auto, the first car that I owned was a 1968 Dodge Polara 440 Magnum/Auto. The Polara is certainly a big car by today's standards, but it is smaller than an Imperial or El Dorado of the day.

I took a little grief from high school classmates at first when they saw the "full size" Polara, but after a couple of "street showdowns", the attitude changed... the Polara had embarrassed some of the local hot rods. It turns out the 375 HP 440 Magnum powered gal could handle herself quite well, and the only high school car she never beat was a 1968 Plymouth 440 Super Commando (Magnum) GTX. There were certainly other hot rods in the area that the Polara would lose to, but only a few high school cars gave her a tight race. With the long overhang over the rear axle, there was enough weight there to limit tire spin to a minimum with the Sure Grip axle. Totally stock the Polara would turn a mid 14 sec quarter at slightly over 100 MPH...

I quit driving the Polara regularly in the mid 1980s, and it sat mostly outside, with the weather taking a toll on the car. I last drove it in the early 1990s, and finally got it stored inside in 1997. The Polara hasn't run since the 1990s, and looks fairly rough now. I have always planned to restore the 'ol gal, but with all my other projects I do not know if it will ever happen...

In 2001 I bought a 1968 Polara 4Dr HT 48,000 mile "survivor" car as a substitute for my first car. It is the same "Alpine White" color, but is powered by a 383 2BBL... a far cry from the 375 HP 440 Magnum of the original car. It is a lot of fun to drive the now 54,000 mile car, and it gets a lot of attention when I do. Very few people recognize the car, even fellow Mopar fans... one of them asked me why I brought an Oldsmobile to a Mopar meet.

But, I still miss driving the real first car... might have to do something about that in a few years!

My first was '93 V6 Camaro. She was fun, had a nice sound system, but was getting old and the gas gauge didn't work anymore. Somewhat but not really miss it.

[MikeSVX]

[305pride]
