I was always into cars, having grown up on Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Ryder, but never had a chance to be around them. I had always bought my cars from my parents from the time I was 17-21. Then, while I was working for Sam Goody(back in 1999), I got a promotion and transfer to a store 25 miles from my house. I started to look at GN and Monte Carlo SS's, but then my dad brought home an add for a 95 v6 bird w/ 40,000mi for $8K. I checked out the car and told the guy I'd take it. A week later I called him to confirm I was coming down the next day w/ cash in hand. He told me he couldn't bear to part with the car. I understood, but was dissapointed. BUT he did say he saw a 94 in the paper and mailed me the add.
Anyway, I went looking for cars the next day and found the 95 I had been looking at on a dealers lot and they were asking for $12K!!! I WAS UBER-PISSED!!!
I immediately had to have a Firebird. I checked out the add the guy sent me and it was a 94 v6 w/ 24,000 for $10K. I jumped all over that deal. I did a few mods(exhaust, intake, rims, underdrive, t-stat), but the a friend of mine took a real liking to my car, and after 2 years(01), I sold it to him for $7500 and bought my 94 Formula. Modded that a bit, but soon needed a reliable daily car. Unfortunately, I had to sell the Formy and got my EVO. I hope to have another F-body again once the EVO is paid off.
