both my parents work full-time and long hours at that, so since i was born i spent every summer at my cousin's house. Everyone at that house was a nascar/vette nut and i could sit through an entire winston cup race before i could talk. at that time my uncle had a 35th anny vette(the one where EVERYTHING is white) and it was the God of cars to me. as i got older i started looking for a 3rd or 4th gen vette that i could buy for cheap(
) n fix up, but that dream was crushed after a year of staring at insurance quotes and prices that were WAY outa my price range. at this point i looked to the next best thing, the f-body, since it had the same engine as the vette. then i turned into a complete camaro-loving idiot, and even called firebirds fake camaros(still hittin myself for that) and i started looking for a 3rd gen camaro. my neighbor(major gearhead) caught wind of this and since his son didnt give two ****s about cars(said no to the 92 mint condition mustang convertible his dad offered him in order to end up buying a 4-door 96 grand am gt
). He and i began searching the classifieds religiously until he saw me outside one day and asked if id be interested in a firebird he found. went out to check it out with my mom and neighbor and it turned out to be a very good-looking clean car(bright red 89 formula ttops L03 auto) and i ended up buying it since i didnt think i would find a camaro in my price range. Then i came across the f-bodyhideout and learned that my car was slow as **** and that pontiac was always a step ahead of the bow-tie so i decided to never consider a camaro...and the rest is history
ps i still will stay true to my pact even if the camaro is brought back and the bird is not...i will never purchase a maro over a bird ever
