Remember your first ride in a sports car?

2003S A tale of woe, my uncle had a Vette just like that, a 69 with factory hard and soft tops. He gave it to his son for a wedding present, son puts car in wife's name to cut down on insurance. They divorce, wifey takes car, sells car in 1987 for $6,000.00 without telling anyone, I would have bought it the mileage was 50,000.

Well the first sports car I drove just happened to be a 98 Boxster 2.5L when I was 16. Have driven 40+ sports/muslce cars after that including the 350z, 300zx TT, NSX, classic and new Mustang's and Camaro's, Chevelle SS, Classic and new Corvette's(C3, C4, C5,C6), Evo, STI, SL55 AMG, M3, M5, 911(964 Carrera, 996 Carrera, 996 4S), RX-8, Miata, Viper SRT-10, TT, GTI, 645i, etc.

And I still ended up going for the Boxster since it was most fun to drive in my opinion.

That stinks - I remember sitting in the driveway behind the wheel of that car for hours on end when I was 5. Until one day I pulled the e-brake handle, and rolled it back into the street.

Took all of my weight to stand on the brake, while my brother happily ran inside to tell dad!

I just got ungrounded last week.

Yes MGB, London England

Been hooked on sports cars ever since

...best sports car ride would have to be a Caterham 7 (275 hp) test drive from the dealership around Biggin Hill and back. It took enraged citizens 5 min to catch up ....had enough time to unharness myself and run away...that thing took my breath away
