both my parents' first cars were f-bodies. my mom drove a brand new 76 Trans Am with a 4-speed back when she worked in Kuwait, and my dad bought a 74 camaro with a strait 6 for 100 bucks when he moved here in 81.

my father wanted me to get the camaro. i was driving around in my camry fine and dandy, but the tranny was slipping and it just wasnt worth fixing. with the money i was making in high school i could've afforded a nicer car. i test drove a BMW, a G35, and looked at a hooked up Impala SS, a WRX, and some other cars. but GM was offering 3k off and my dad sent me to go look at a Z28. i test drove it and fell in love. bought the car i have now the same day. drove it home 2 days later.

eventually, i will get around to restoring a 76 second gen close to the specs of my mothers car. it was a 76 Maroon hard top with a white vinyl top and white vinyl interior with a V8 and a 4-speed. i will make a 76 vert with the same color combo and a different engine because my mom doesnt know which motor she had
