My first car was a POS 86 camaro that I paid $2000 for (got ripped off). Had an Lg4 with quadrajunk and 700r4. The only good thing about the car was that it had low miles, everything else was messy. The trans started slipping so I got it rebuild, then I bought a Borla adjustable exhaust for it $500 at the time. Ordered some ugly aftermarket ground effects for it but reliazed it would still look ugly. Ground effects never came, got charged for em, was pissed and put in a claim. Got my money back with the only draw back being that I had to sign for everything for a couple years. Sold the car as quickly as I could because my Grandmother gave me $2800 to buy a car. Sold the POS 86 SC model for $2200 to a kid in town that drove it for a couple years and called it the general lee. Even painted the flag on the top . He's still got it sitting in his driveway, I'm going to pickup the car for $50 and sell the Borla for $200, lol.
Took all my money and bought what I have now, a 91 RS, what should have been my FIRST car. It has a place in my heart because it was abused before I got it yet mechanically it's a champ. Bought it with 138k miles on her and had 5 previous owners in only 9 years! She's got over 180k miles now and is a healy mid 13 second car with TBI.... I'll never sell it. It's even been broken into 3 times since I've owner her. The 2nd time totaled her because the cars worth was only $2300 and the damages to the steering column (tried to jack it), door locks, plastic, and electrical wire damages were estimated at $2600, $250 deductable . So my insurance is very limited but it doesn't matter, the car will never leave me.
