Back in elementary and middle school I always wanted a Camaro, but in high school I converted and went straight to a DSM ('93 GSX) for my first car.

I never really had a fast car till the dsm. I was more of the lifted truck/suv kind of guy. I have had a couple lifted chevy blazers ect, and actually got the dsm as a quick little econo car-haha what a flop that turned into. I wouldn't have it any other way though. It has been a hell of a learning experience for sure. Its rewarding to have something so fast that can also be docile.

I had no choice in my first car, had a 1993 ford probe gt, then a 1993 dodge stealth (sohc auto, nothing exciting). Then my buddy talked me into a 1992 Plymouth laser rs, awd, 5spd. After a brief modding spree, it was all downhill from there. 4 dsm's later, and here I am today lol.

I got smart, I'm trying to go the other way.

I keep trying to, but keep getting sucked back in.

The first car I ever bought was a Honda Prelude, decided that would be too much work to make it go fast, so I bought a 92 laser awd. Been stuck on dsm's ever since.

I've been diving Chevy K5's and more recently my 03 Silverado for years, I just happened upon this little 96 Tsi AWD and picked it up, hoping to fix it, sell it and make a few bucks. Honestly rollin my 5.3 V-8 Silverado I've always laughed at the guys with only "half-a-motor". Now that I've been diving this I can definatly see what people like about hese cars. A couple hundred bucks worth of mods and I've got a car that will walk all over my truck. I can't call myself "converted" yet, but I'm definatly a big fan.

A truck is no comparison.

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

My first car was the 51 ford got it when I was 14 and I still have it. I have had 4 gm cars/trucks. 40+ 1g dsm's, 1 2g hard top,2 2g spyders,3 csm's. All that I have now is right below. I was a and still a hot rodder first then mitsu's

-First car was a 94 cavalier that I really had no choice in owning.
-Second car was a 97 Chrysler Concorde i had a bunch of audio stuff in (3 12's, amp, etc.)
-Third car was a shitter 2 door 97 Grand Am GT with a 5 speed. Was good on gas is about all.
-Fourth car was a 97 Dodge Avenger that I bought when I was 18 and wanted to make fast, always wanted a Hahn tubo kit for it but I ended up settling for making it nice looking it instead of spending tons of money on something that would max out at 13's.

Somewhere between car #3 and #4 is when I got into DSM's, tried the whole daily driver thing and ended up getting my Subie lol

here was my Avenger:

Forgot to mention my 1961 Mercury Comet that my grandpa gave to me when I was 13.

First car was my 91 GSX. haha owned myself...

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

my first was a 91 laser rs, fwd non turbo 5spd. really didnt know about turbo's and had no clue about anything dsm. switch over to a granny car after i bent 10 valves in the laser. had a couple mini vans and a v-6 camaro till i ended up with a 98 rs eclipse. had that for a couple years when i finally found my 97 gsx. sold my rs to some stupid kid for 4 grand and bought my gsx an hour later for the same price! im a die hard dsm man for sure!

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

That's what I did. :D

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

I started off with 2 cavy's until I finally got a 95 gst. Which crankwalked on me the 2nd day I had it.. Ever since then it's been dsm's other than my daily drivers (taurus, s10, and now an audi.) I even got 3 of my friends so far to get into dsm's. I know i'm a bad friend. haha

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

We all have one of those, or are one of those friends, or else we wouldn't be here lol

I was a Mustang fan, when I had my old 86' GT, but I was 17 at the time and surprise surprise, I got in trouble with it. Had an old supra after that, then got a 90 Tsi AWD while I was in college, that broke alot so I ended up having to scrap it. But my first car takes the cake an 87 Dodge omni. My dad got it for 50 dollars, but then I had to pay 300 to fix it so I could drive it.

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

Started with a Gm (grand am, lame), went to dsm's (3 total), then to the stealth, now have an Audi, and will be going to GM power again most likely (ls1 powered something).

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

Started with a 1971 Impala, had about 75 cars after that before I bought my 1991 Talon AWD, then sold that and bought my current GSX. I've had a lot of Chevy's since then, 2007 Tahoe LTZ was my favorite.:tongue:

Re: how many of us converted to dsms from chevys..
 

I went from a real nice supercharged 2004 Chevy SS 6.0 to the Evo. I still do not know which one I like better.
