ummm, my dad worked for gm for like 30 years, so i naturally have a bias against anything not-gm (except mopar, cuz they're just awesome) let alone anything not-american (which is kind of ironic, since my car was assembled in canada). he owned a first gen and 2nd gen camaro, and an 85 TA, and he loved them. he sold the camaros before i was born, but i remember the TA quite well. i loved riding in that car, and that's also when i fell in love with t-tops. anyways, when it came time for me to buy a car to commute to school with, i wanted something enjoyable to drive and not too expensive, with decent gas mileage (which is why i bought the 6 instead of an 8, but i don't think it makes too much difference). originally i wanted to get a 3rd gen TA, or a 5.0 mustang, or a pickup, but i couldn't really find a good deal on my limited amount of time, so i went with a 95 firebird. 3.4 L isn't the fastest, but its a huge improvement over the bonneville that i was driving in high school.

my next car will be a hemi 'cuda.
