My first car was a 93 Pontiac Sunbird LE coupe, then a 95 Pontiac Grand Am GT coupe, a 96 Grand Prix SE coupe, 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Daytona special edition coupe (looking back I should have kept that one). Traded that car in for the 03 Monte cause Pontiac ruined the Grand Prix by dropping the coupe for 04. A 95 Chevy Z34 Coupe as my winter beater, 05 Ford Mustang V6, 06 Mini Cooper S (which I sold cause I couldn't afford my car payment anymore) and lastly my 05 Monte.

first car was a 91 buick regal gs. fully loaded and paid only $300.00 for it.(dads friend) not a bad first car. sold that for $2000.00 and bought my fathers 1982 cutless calise for 1700.00. (sons price!!) she had a small block 350 w/all the goodies. rearended someone with her and like a dumba$$ i traded her in for a 1998 pontiac grand prix GT. the gp was very nice and nicly loaded but had ALOT of probs with that one. the camels back was broken when she leaked all the coolent out and traded her in for the monte i own today. i was looking for another GP when i bought the monte,but they had none. my whole family went to the same dealer ship, champion chevy in hanover,PA, got good deals there! our saleman pointed me to the montes telling me they are kinda the same. so i asked to drive her for a day. he asked on a scale from 1-10 how interested al i into buying her, seeing she had only 15 miles on her. i said an 8, been sold on ten since thou!!

1989 Chevy C/K 2500 Silverado, 5.7L (It was my dads, then I started driving it, drove it for almost 3 years. We still own it, and I am hoping to take it when I move out.)
2003 Chevy Cavalier LS Sport 2.2L Ecotec 5 Speed. (I loved this car, the first car I bought on my own, it was loaded (for a Cavalier) and fun to drive.)
2006 Chevy Monte Carlo LT 3.5L (I was looking at 2 door Cobalts, and decided to test drive the Monte just because I loved the "new" body style, and the color. I had zero intentions of buying the Monte, because I did not think I could afford it. Dealer gave me 5,000 off MSRP, and 0% APR on a 5 Year loan, I could afford it! So i drove it home. My first BRAND NEW car, and I LOVE it the most!)
