I was like Tim. Only I'm STILL a vette fan, just can't afford the hope ups to make it worthwhile. If I couldn't do anything to either I'd be driving a vette right now.
I actually went shopping for cars and I only knew that I wanted something fast. I was stupid and turned down a 76 red vette with a 400 that had a cracked rear bumper and a non-running engine. Guy only wanted $3600 for the whole thing and all numbers matched. Car was in excellent condition for the price, but allas I would have owed my parents money and that didn't jive well with me. So I thought what's next in line to a vette... camaro. Went out and bought my first camaro which was a turd. 86 sport coupe and I wasted a lot of money in it. Lucky for me I sold it for more than I initially paid for it but I had over $2000 into it that was lost for good . I sold it because I couldn't find any 91-92 ground effects and the aftermarket ones I bought got lost in shipping. So I bought my current 91 red sled and beat the snot out of it (like I do with all my cars). I promised to never sell this car so it's still with me through thick and thin. It's been totalled when the interior got majorely jacked up from the last car stereo stealing. Needless to say I took the $3400 the insurance gave me and bought the car back for $1400, the rest of it went into a new and better stereo and some went to the new motor a year later.
That's how I got hooked. Now I know so much about thirdgens that it makes going to another platform pointless, especially since I already have rear wheel drive, a v8, and leg/head room!
That's how I got started. I'll always have my 91 unless it gets wrecked, even then I might just chop it up and turn it into a full out street car with fiberglass front end and tube chassis.
