Tho my father once owned a crap brown 73 Camaro, which to this day he regrets selling, He was never big into cars, so I basically grew myself up in them. First I loved trucks, like Big rigs and stuff, the more wheels the merrier, but then when I was 7, I bought a car set at Sams club, which was to become my favorite race driver, Mark Martin. So I became a big NASCAR racing fan, and hated all other forms of racing. then when I was about 11, I became a fan of Vipers, and Vipers moved me onto other cars, but I knew I never would be able to own one. Back in the day around here, many 3rd gen Camaro's were around, so I'd see them all the time, and oddly enough I liked they're styling, so my intrest in Camaro's flourished from there. My father would tell me about his Camaro, and all the good times he had with it, and one day when I was 17 a guy came into Advance Auto Parts and I overheard him talkign to another co worker about him selling his 79 Camaro. I quickly jumped on the deal and brought it home. Tho I loved cars and tho my parents werent too happy that I bought it, it became basically my classroom, my car that I learned a good 40% of my knowledge on how to work on things, where things were at, and what not to touch and break lol. then 3 days bfreo I graduated I had a friend whos cousin was selling a 3000GT, and I bought that, which I regret still lol. then a 3 months later, my Aunt was selling her 96 Camaro. I had only rode in it once before, which was the weekend that Dale Earnhardt won the Daytona 500. My mother only said hey your Aunt Dawn is selling her Camaro. I immediatly shouted I want it!!!. my mom said I didnt even tell you anything abotu it, I said I dont care I want it. 3 weeks later, it was in my possesion and have since had the front end rebuilt after an accident I had, and has become one of the nicest loking V6 Camaro's to this day. It was even autographed by Carroll Shelby, who when he say the T-top on the Table, in the middle of his signing he said, whats this out of, my father said hessitantly, its out of a Camaro. Carroll said God damnit I knew it, in a joking manner and continued to sign it. So wher is the 79 today? sadly I sold it last Fall, and I miss it still. One day ill have another 79 and make that into the car Ive always dreamed of. Now I love all forms of motor racing, adn am enthusiastic to learn more each day.
