My first car was in college, after signing up for the Army Reserve. An 85 Camaro was all I could find, though I looked for a Firebird. Used to jump railroad tracks with it in Indiana where I went to school. In four years I went through three oil pans and 1 bell housing. Got my money's worth trying to be an updated Duke of Hazzard.
Out in the midwest you don't find many ricers, mostly pickup trucks or very old, beat up hand-me-downs from the parents.
I liked the Camaro, but still have my heart on Firebirds.
