First car? I was 17 and the year was 1981... I bought a five year old, 1976 Pontiac Firebird for $1900. Car had 72K miles on it. Had it painted Corvette Orange and pimped it out proper like a good little suburban dumbazz.
See those wheels? Cragar SS w/gold centers! LOL

Been driving my dad's 2015 Z/28 the past couple of days. Had to drive it down from Williamsburg KY to here in Columbia.
It has just a hair over 1,000 miles on it. Just an absolute beast. 505hp/481tq with a 3.9 gear strapped to it. 1st gear is aggressive as hell. What a blast to drive. As a motorhead i'm so envious. It will be up for sale soon due to some medical reasons my dad's going through. Parking it in my sister's garage (her yard in the pic) with a cover so it will be in pristine condition and priced to sell quick (if anyone's interested when the time comes)....

That Z28 is a moster, but... I love that old Celica. Go figure.

Everything was blue except the steering wheel. It was a huge brown plastic wood grain Ferris wheel...

If I don't like the price, I'll just figure out a way to do it on my own. That's half the fun of modding your car, right?

I had a 1993 Acura vigor (Inline 5 cylinder) as my first car and kept it from high school to senior year of college. I got it with 120k miles and sold it at 213k miles. I did a carputer and retrofit with jdm 1 piece lights and tsx projectors on the vehicle along with a full house of color paint job with flakes and pearl in the paint. Last 2 pics are from the web.

So, here I am at Crossroads Infiniti in Raleigh, NC. Mind you, I had to wake up at 5am so I could drive from Camp Lejeune to Raleigh to make my service appt at 8am.(Its the only Infiniti dealership in my area) I get told I can't get a loaner because I'm only 20 years old! Apparently I can make my own car/insurance paynents but can't be trusted with a loaner vehicle while my car is gettiny repaired. So now I have to wait and see if I can get my catalyic converter replaced today. If not, I'll have to come back some other day. Pretty bummed out.

It crossed my mind, but it was clear I wouldn't be able to get the jack under the end of the breaker bar. I'll see what the price is I'm quoted at today. I've had the Hotchkis bars sitting in my living room for a month and I'm itching to get them on.

yeah man, I got my 6MT 2013 sedan back in May of 2013 only 3 months before my 21st bday, and I did have to go in to service for something a month or less before I had turned 21 and I got the same treatment, I wouldn't get a loaner being still 20... it's pretty stupid if you ask me but what can you do... but it hasn't been an issue since then lol. Time is flying

Rear for sure is much more of a PITA due to the exhaust having to come off partially so you can put the swaybar in, but the front was pretty easy and I did it all by myself
