Default New Blood with a Z34

Names Junior, I'm originally from the east coast but live here now. I'm a 24 yr old polish puertorican (yes I know that's a weird combo) and I'm proud of it. I work in the security field and college part time. I just brought my first ride today, (YES) I know half of you will read this and think first ride at 24 and think WTF... Well I didn't have a rich mommy and daddy and I only had poor jobs, college bills, and have a kid.. (So if that makes you think low of me or I'm just another nobody with no dream get over it or go f**k yourself and get off my thread )

Anyway for those of you that are still reading (Thank You ) its a 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo Z34. Its a ugly gray/silver, both fenders are bent, mostly all interior panels are missing, both airbags are missing, drivers side headlight is cracked, rides very rough, its scratched up, basically a running project.

to the forum! Just means you've lived a bit and have character! I see a project indeed! Oh the potential if you have the time (and money). I am also a college student so I know most big things wont come until later after college when you make money for it. My 2 cents though - I would rather have something that drives amazingly and looks poorly rather than something that looks amazing and drives poorly.

Either way, welcome! Create an Album and post pics up for sure!

Welcome. I didn't get my first car until I was finished with boot camp and AIT so I understand.

Welcome! No worries on when you got your first ride man. We all have different stories. Most people get their driver's license at age 16, many of my friends thought it weird I did not get it until I was like 17 and a half. But that's because I had my own issues in life, but it's all good.

As for your Monte, sounds like you have some work to bring her back to life. Some of that can be a fun project. My current daily driver (an '02 Grand Am) was a bit of a project when I got it (I knew the main things wrong when I bought it, but then began finding surprises as I worked on it).
