My stories pretty simple. My former best friend was one of those Blue Oval Nuts, Ford this Ford that, Mustang reigns superme. Well this started my freshman year of high school way before I was able to get my permit. So I basically took the other stance and went with the Camaro & Trans Am. Ive known of them when I was little but never really got into it.

Originally my parents were going to buy me a car. They said they would pay for it if it was something they could choose. So naturally the Honda Civic came up, and this was about the time of Fast & The Furious... Well I started to see more & more of these "Rice Burners" And I was absoultely Discusted!!! When I was in HS a kid had a brand new LT1 Camaro, it was a Black Z28, with Chrome Y2K vette wheels, and an SS spoiler and a loud exhaust! I was hooked from that day on to the camaro, because they looked beautifull as is!

Only untill this one September Day, I came home from the City after going with some friends, and their was this Blue & Silver Trans Am sitting outside my house on the street with a big For Sale sign. I checked it out at night to see that the body was straight, paint was in good shape, and the interior wasnt destroyed. Later in the week I bugged my dad to call the owner and find out alittle bit more about it. Once we got the VIN# My dad & I started digging around the internet learning as much as we could about 3rd Gens. Finally a few weeks later I purchased my very first car.

I always liked 3rd gens from then on, untill the point where I was at with the Trans Am, that so much **** had to be upgraded to make it run effeciently, and have some decent creature comfurts. By the time I calculated the amount of money I would need for all brand new things, the price of an LT1/LS1 car was easily attainable. I originally started looking at LS1 Auto's, I drove this one LS1 Z28, and I immedietly fell in love! But Insurance brought my high down with a loud crash. I was pretty depressed about that for a while, untill i started hanging out at E-town more often with my friends, and just seeing the large amount of quick LT1 cars. And since I saw that one in HS I knew what I wanted.

One day I was browsing AutoTrader and came across this super clean low miled 95 Z28 out in Long Island. I emailed the owner got some nice pictures, and decided one weekend to go out to LI and see what it was al about. When I finally got to the guys house my dad couldnt believe how pretty it was! 2 weeks later it was MINE!
