After a serious ass whipping at the hands of a not-even-got-plates-yet 87 GT, I sold my 80 Z-28 to my brother, and ordered the car you see in my avatar on October 31, 1987, an 88 LX hatch(you need the weight on the street), paid $11,080, it arrived on December 23 of that year. My best Christmas. To this day. I still love driving it, and tweaking. On its 21st b-day, I had a Shiner(real beer) with it, since it was legal. Suzy thought I needed therapy, but I've had it longer than I've had her. I was 20 when I bought it, 21 when it arrived.
Most of you guys were/are kids when you got yours! LOL!
I bought my car when I was 22 on March 31, 1987. I stumbled across it at a local dealer that ordered about 6 "stripped" LX models with V8 and AC for the "racers". Had to convince my wife to let me get it since we had just put down a deposit on a new Acura Integra for her. Paid right about $10,500 for it with the 5.0 package and AC as the only options. It was my "reward" for getting a nice $200 a month raise on my first real job. It has been my daily driver ever since.
nice! post some pics.
There are a few in
"My Garage" on here.
It has changed quite a bit over the last 8 years or so, black leather interior from red, 5 lug Cobra brakes with Bullitts from 10 holes, but still the same basic car! And no car payment for over 16 years! LOL!
ughh.....my garage?
