When did you get your first Camaro?
 
I was 16 and my parents bought me (with my college fund money) a 1984 z28 in 1996. It had the HO 305 L 4 barrel carburetor, 5 speed trans and a tan and black zebra style interior. I loved that car a lot. Had so much power, even if it were only had like 205 HP, lol. I ended up having to put a crankshaft in it since it threw a bearing, which I did myself. Then the carb went out and I didn't have the money to fix it. My parents sold it and then I cried, a lot. Ended up in a Chrysler K car. :(

Had a lot of fun in that car though, good times. It looked just like this, except with T-tops.

1988... it was a '79 Camaro beater. Fun car, but also a rolling example of how to poorly plan and execute mods. Quite a few funny / embarrassing stories about that one :) I wound up trading it for my first streetbike.

1969 yellow with black vinyl top Z28 with 302 DZ motor and fresh air hood in 1975. Paid $2000 for it. Wish I still had it

Our family had a green 74' in 1982, then we had a dark blue 79' berlinetta.

June of 2014. This is my first and very likely, my last Camaro/GM car.

Sounds like you are unhappy with your Gen5. That's unfortunate... I think they are great cars. Of course, I waited 45 years you get my first Camaro SS (December 7th 2012), so I am living a dream!

Caveat: I actually bought a 1LT in May of 2012, but when I realized it was missing 2 cylinders I upgraded to the SS. Also, it was black and I was trying to keep it clean more that I was driving it.

Granada gold '67 with a 327 2bbl when I was an 18 year old college punk in '76.

Last year was my first Camaro a 2011 SS, love this thing a lot. It's going to be hard to have it sit this winter again.

My first Camaro was a 1970 RS bought in 1984, it was awesome, looked almost exactly like the one below..

I had her for a month in Oregon and hit black ice and a 1956 Chevy truck stopped me, not in a good way... totaled on the 30th day I owned her :(
