My 15th Birthday Present

**KJax2010** · 08-19-2007, 05:38 PM

IF YOU CLICK ON THE IMAGES YOU WILL SEE THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE THUMBNAILS AREN'T WORKING. I have been 15 for around 6 months now but here is my present I got on Saturday. It's a 1998 Sport Gold Metallic Trans Am with Chrome C6 ZO6 wheels on it. Only 235 Trans Am coupes were made with the Sport Gold Metallic paint in 1998.

nice car man, thats a lot of car for a beginer driver to handle, be safe and respect it

**KJax2010** · 08-19-2007, 05:46 PM

Trust me. I HAVE to respect it. If I don't my parents have strict consequences to follow. My dads first car was a brand new 1979 Trans Am, thats one reason I got this nice of a car.

I had a 79 T/A....no comparison to this car. My 79 had a 301 in it. That car was so slow it had dead bugs on the back windshield.

Respect this car. I was young once and I know exactly how I was. I probably wouldn't be here today if I had that kinda power when I was 16. My first car was a 75 cutlass and although it had a decent top end it took a while to get there unlike the 4th gen f-bodies that will be 100+ mph in less time than it took me to type this sentence.

My dadpaid cash to the dealer he bought his Trans Am from in 1979 out of his own pocket. He even still has the check register that was used in 1979 just to show me how much it was. I don't feel like going to ask him right now but I think it was $7,565 or around that number.

haha...SSSPPPOOOIIILLLDD!!!!!! My first car was a 1998 Ford Taurus

nice car man...i hope you have fun with it..im still looking for an F-Bod as we speak

**0rion** · 08-19-2007, 06:13 PM

I'm guessing since you're only 15 then it'll be at least 6 months before you can legally drive it so in the meantime dad will get to have his fun

........don't be surprised if he decides to keep it for himself and you end up with a sweet ass 01 civic. I'm a dad too.

Yep, i think it will be around 7 months for my license. BUT, I still have a permit so I can drive it.

Very nice set of wheels. My dads first was a Formula 400 with the 4 on the floor, thats a huge reason why I got mine, except I actually bought mine with my money. Just do yourself a favor, the day you get you license and drive to school, don't give in to peer pressure to push it hard or race it, even if they do call you names. I made a huge mistake when I brought in my first car ('01 Convertible Mystic Teal Metallic Firebird) and decided to race some fag in an 02 WRX. I won but that was because he sucked at driving clutch. But what followed was getting turned in to the SRO (cops basically) and my parents were called. Thank god all I got was a slap on the wrist, one month without driving anything. My parents were very understanding because they knew it would happen eventually, they just didn't count on it being so damn soon.

Just take care of her and she will treat you just fine. Take it to the track if you get that need for speed.

**2fast2blegal** · 08-19-2007, 09:57 PM

hey bud im about to turn 17 and i just bought my trans am. i had a explorer as my first car. i worked for a year and a half to finally be able to get my mean LS1. one thing is to respect the car and not try to show off for all your lady friends. and don't be stupid and see if you can max out the speedometer. haha i know you'll do it, ive tried you cant. but now im mature
