What spiked your passion for cars?

When I was 13 I lived in a rural suburb of St.Louis on a circle street without much traffic. My next door neighbor was a highschool girl. Her boyfriend drove a new 1975 TransAm. When he drove by my house I could hear the deep exhaust sound 1/2 block away & I knew it was that car. I would peek out my window at it & was astounded by the outrageous scoops & spoilers & decals all over the car. 4 years later I bought my first car a 8year old Firebird Formula since it was the best handling musclecar made. Being a musclecar enthusiast & engine builder, I hated Porsches until I drove a new 996

My brothers and cousins were all into muscle cars back in the early 70's when I was in my early teens. My brother had a 69 road runner 440, cousin had a 426 Hemi Coronet, another cousin had a 74 Camaro Z28 and another had a lae 60's Malibu SS. All were modified. But my dream car was a Hemi Cuda. I just loved the exhaust tone when my neighbor started the car in the morning. I still want one today.

How did I start drooling on Porsche? I think we need to start another topic.

I've always liked machines & have a fascination for things like that. My parents used to tel my brother & me to try not to take our Christmas toys apart for a few weeks because we always did to see what made them work. That was a natural progression into mini bikes, motorcycles, cars & boats. Understanding how something is supposed to function is part of the fun.
