1994 Oldsmobile Achieva S Coupe that I bought from an older sister. Nice looking car with quite a few features for back then but I only had it a year before everything went wrong at 150k miles.
Second car was a 1991 Ford Probe, which replaced a 1980 Ford Fairmont wagon (this was in 1996). Although the Probe was not the epitome of fit and finish quality, it was a huge step up from that falling apart Fairmont!
Car was a rocket, and sleek, but the air bags sucked. I'd be traveling 60MPH on the highway and all 4 bags would deflate. Have to pull over to reinflate them every 10 miles. Sucked being a poor college kid.
1984 Camaro Z28 with the HO L69 engine and a 5 speed. The L69 included higher compression (different pistons), more aggressive fuel/timing curve, different heads, different cam, a better flowing exhaust with a 4 bolt corvette monolithic catalytic convertor, 3.73 gears(GT4 RPO), dual snorkel air cleaner, electric fan, higher hp(190 hp / 240 ft lb torque).
I ordered it in Oct, 1983, and it arrived in Jan, 1984, built in Norwood, Ohio. It was a fun car.
