This is my first car. I got it in 1981. This is how it looked then.





This is how it looks now. I still own it.

I hate when people ask me this question. Not because it's a bad question, but because it pisses me off every time I think about it. My dad was helping me look for a car in early 1981. One car that we test drove was a 1976 Camaro with a 350 (priced at $3,200). The car was in like new condition, and was a total blast to drive (especially for a 17 year old). My dad talked me out of it on the premise that gas was going to cost $1.50 a gallon by 1982. I am not sure where he got that crap from. Anyway, I caved and bought a POS Buick Skyhawk with a V6 in it(also priced at $3,200). What's worse is that a guy I knew at school ended up buying the Camaro and driving it in front of me evry day. That is until he wrecked the sh*t out of it eight months later...

This was my first car. My dad and I built it as a father/son project and I still own it today. I am currently in the middle of converting it to a mild pro-touring car.

Same as with mine! Apparently Fathers know a thing or two about El Caminos.

76 Camaro. Blue with white interior. It was a nice car. Then I had this idea that it needed a little more power...

Back in 1982 my first car was a 1966 Ford Fairlane. I sure wish I had that car now.
