Currently a 16 year old thinking about what car I want when I turn 17, I love the mustangs and challengers but don't know if I should get a v8. I know teens are stupid and are more likely to harsh but I isut wondered what everyone else thinks and what people would recommend.

I've been thinking about getting a mustang gt, changer rt or a challenger AWD GT, but live in an are with a lot of rain. Jsut don't know what is the best for me and wondered anyone's experience with any of them and what I would be best going for. Do I sacrifice the V8 for AWD?

Hey folks. Just looking for some advice. I apologize if this question has been beaten to death, i'm new here and haven't gone through too many posts.

Looking for advice. I have an opportunity to obtain a 1969 Camaro SS from my wife's uncle. He wants to keep it in the family, but his wife wants it out of the garage. The car was parked decades ago to rot. The interior is rough, body panels are mostly in decent shape (as far as holes, dents, etc) and the frame is solid. The transmission worked when it was parked, but engine was dead.

So, my 3 thoughts I'm trying to decide between, as far as a cost standpoint and a "level of involvement". I'm only asking about powertrain things right now.

1. Simply do a regular restoration? i.e. rebuild the original engine/tranny as needed.

2. If engine/tranny are toast/need alot of work, just find replacements at salvage yards? Find an old 350ci and drop it in, etc.

3. Update to modern parts. Buy a crate LS3 hot cam engine from Chevy Performance with a 6L80E and drop that in. Obviously this is the most appealing from a performance standpoint, but what would the more obvious challenges be? I've done a few engine swaps on 1990's Honda's, a couple tranny swaps on some 4L60-Chevy express vans, but ive never swapped components that weren't a direct OEM replacement. Never messed with electrical harnesses. And haven't torn an engine apart further than pulling the heads to diagnose bad valves/lifters.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated, what choice would YOU go with, and why? And what would the challenges be?

Hi y'all, Just a quick question I wanted to ask. I found a pretty good deal on a 86 Pontiac firebird and I've been wondering if that would be a decent possibility as a first car? Realistically ik there are much better options out there but with the reputation of firebirds and just over all how cool they are l've genuinely been considering getting it. Being under the hood isn't a concern for me and my commute to work/university is pretty short only being like 2 miles out. My overall concern would be what to worry about and what to keep in mind when it comes to driving, maintenance, and performance of the vehicle that people who have more experience than me understanding.
