ME ME ME

I passed my driving test in my sunbird, and I owned
it for 12 years, until I sold it and bought my Jeep. So
I guess the Jeep is only my second ride.

2nd car here. My first was a POS Mercury Sable Wagon, complete with big Rockford stickers on the rear windows .

I've probably put more into the Cav than the total of the two plus my truck ('01 Dodge Ram fully loaded) combined.

My second car was a 91 sunbird GT. Had it for 6 years and went through two engines before I finally sold it.

Still driving mine, 91 Cavy sedan, 2.2 3spd. I love my car, but I can't find the parts I need for it at a reasonable price, so I'm trying to find another car and I'll just sell this one... Sucks, cause I love my cav, but this lack of power, or braking ability, is just not acceptable.

i had a bright red 91 cavy sedan....

my father bought it in 91 ... gave it to me when i turned 16... (my brother had a 85 Monte Carlo SS with a 350 in it... and the dumb ass got so many "hot rod"ish tickets and he didnt take care of it that my rents sold it when he went to college) anyway ... about 3 months after my 16th birthday, i was following my rents home from DC... and on state road 17 in Virginia, near Tappahannock ... a huge ass bug landed on my arm and i got distracted and ended up fish tailing and went straight in the ditch fliped facing the opposite direction.....

3 months later i used the insurance money to buy my 93 cavy coupe

Can say that first car was a cavalier but not a 2nd gen, I had an 85 four door till I rolled it 2 1/2 times being dumb. Second car was Buick. Third car is my 89 Cxsport Cavalier.

My first car was a 1990 Nissan Maxima. BOught it at 179k miles. Two years later it has 241k miles and two replacement transmissions. Their auto trannies suck but the manuals a golden. Oh well I dogged the hell out of my third tranny and it broke down while I was going to my girl house (Ironic huh). Then I needed something two door, manual tranny, and can easily be boosted.

I found my 94 bird for $200 with a few issues. I need a new radiator and starter (just makes a weird noise while starting. Other than that I love it.

My first car was a 93 Z. I loved that thing to death but my parents sold it and bought my 01 because they wanted me in something safe and reliable lol. But about 2.5 months ago the Z went up for sale and I bought it back for good this time.
I had a few problems with it but nothing major, but now's a different story. It has 224,000 miles on it but runs pretty good (knock on wood), the exterior and interior are in major need of work though.

my first J was a 2nd Gen, 94 Sunbird LE Sedan, now im in love with my 3rd Gen, stuck with the Pontiac name and bought a Sunfire GT, which far far better than the Sunbird is. Still have her, my dad drives her now, poor little car though, its getting old by now (146k miles, new head at 138k) and i didnt drive it any easier than i drive the GT...

My first car was my 1994 Sunbird LE Sedan. I got it as soon as I got my license in the summer of 2000. It was passed down to me by my parents who had bought in brand new back in January of 1994. When the transmission went out on it in late 2002 I got my 2002 Sunfire GT and that is my current project car. However, I have tons of plans to restore the Sunbird to a brand new car and add a few mods here and there. I love Sunbirds and Sunfires too !

I bought my 90 cavalier, 10 years ago and I still have it.. I don't use it as a daily driver, usually I put only 3k a year on it. so yeah mine was the first in my book. now that I think about it its crazy.

this is my 9th car(first j tho). First was an 85 ranger tubbed with a 351w. Second was a 91 mustang that got into the 12s. 3rd was an 87 mustang that was kept stock. 4th was an 87 RX-7 that I got sick of fixing and sold, 5th was a 93 dodge stealth ES, 6th was a 04 scion xb(RS1 the orange one, #21xx out of 2xxx i think), 7th was a 91 civic DX w/ atx->mtx swap and stock 91 si motor swap, trying to sell this one now but its 1000miles away, 8th was a 95 monte carlo, 9th is my 94 cavi rs. Depeding on how I like this one my next car might be a 3rd gen. Most of those cars I wish I never sold. Esp. the first mustang, monte, and stealth.

my first car was an 89 sunbird gt turbo auto(had broken leg so no stick) that thing moved for being an auto if i must say. i beat my old mans 96? sunfire gt auto in the 1/4 mile by 1/2 car. then when i turned up the boost to 15 psi, 3 inch full exhaust and audi intercooler, then the @!#$ hit the fan. can u say 15.2 in an auto w/ stock turbo? i miss that car to death.


People say that what doesn't kill you in this life
will make you stronger. I'm not sure if that is true
or not, but i do know one thing-You have to learn from
it and it has to make you better.......it has to.......
