In high school I had a 79 6.6...this was in 82/83. Midnight metallic blue with camel interior, brown panels, Shadow Louvers (remember those?), T Tops and all associated T/A stickers...I loved how the cowl would shake at a light, and the steering wheel and brushed dash was awesome. I loved that car and it's the second favorite car I've owned of all time, second to the vette of course!
I had a 76 Z28 in 1987/88...got rid of it when I joined US Army.
My dad had a 70 GTO vert when I was a really little kid. I remember it was loud and fast, and I liked the squishy front end...totally different from other cars. My older brother tore it up.

I picked up a pristine 94 TA (LT1) when shopping for my first Vette. The TA was about 8k less than the Vette I was looking at so I went the prudent way and bought the TA. The TA was a nice car but no Vette, lesson learned "get what you really want the first time and you'll never look back".

1994 Teal with T-Tops. Was super sweet for first 6½ years but went to hell in a handbasket after that. Just started having problem after problem. The doors delaminated because of the curvature of the window, all kinds of stuff.

I got a red 1995 trans am in late 1994, loaded out...joined a local Fbody club and have great times...after 9 years the car was getting stale, I was so uptight about it, I never drove it, when I sold it two months ago it only had 21,000 on it.
I got my 2000 red C5 and I love it, much more driveable and more fun...I think about the TA sometimes, but don't miss it.
The vette is king. Congrats on getting one...

Owned a 2000 TA in 2002. Bought it cause I didnt have the patience to save my pennies for the vette which was my goal in the first place. Sold the TA in 2003, saved my pennies and bought a 2002 QS Vert in 2004. Liked the TA, LOVE the vette.

Not sure about the younger years, I'm only 36, but I have had several FBodies... 87 IROC, 96 Z28, and a 98 T/A. Loved them all, but while I was driving them, I knew it was just to hold me over until I could get my Vette
