bought a talon as my first car so I had to learn to fix it quick(2 weeks after I bought it, it broke down for the first time)
Traided it for a 84 hatchback and got hooked on the honda bug.

[RUFFIAN]

I've been into cars every since I was about 1 years old. Its funny 'cause my kids were the same way from birth.

[Wurm]

i like the smell of gas enough said

My parents had a trans am in the 80's and for the first 3years of my life that was basically the only car i was ever taken around in. A loud "fast" trans am..parents get a maxima it was quiet...I apparently would cry everytime I got in the car...Parents knew that I would be a speed demon...well...almost 18 years later, 12 tickets and zero license suspension's it makes sense...been in it from day one..my entire life I wanted american muscle until I rode in my Uncle's TT supra when I was 11. (the is wayyy before F&F)..been in love since.

my dad bought a chevy truck and i'd always watch him work on it when i was a kid. then my friend bought a 94 civic and i helped him with his many repairs/mods. i love both domestic and import cars but i really love working on them.

A buddy of mines had a 90 Da and had IHE on it and he said it made more power than stock and from there I was off into hooking up cars

My dad got me into racing at an early age. Then when I was old enough to drive I wanted a car that was fun to drive.

[takume]

play too much game, lol..

[3.5altman]

every since i was a little boy ive been hooked on cars, really got into them when i got in highschool, thats when if you had a hooked up honda you was the ****...lol

[magneto198]

started working on my friend's honda accord....then it all started with more hondas

[TallGuy]

My Father built cars when I was a kid so it started from there.

[atlxpat]

i've always hung out with older people then me for some odd reason, so i got into it around 6th-7th grade.
haha F&F made me HATE the image it gave to imports. the outrageous exterior work and false facts and the eclipse shifting 7 times in the first drag made me sad.* yes go watch it and count how many time that guy shifts*

[allmotorX]

need for speed

haha

same here

[DUBSf22c]

lets just start at my parents met in the car biz selling nissans and both of them driving a Z.. so do I need to say more

[Halfwit]

i jsut always wanted more with my car, always wanted to make it better, make people not expect it to be what it is. i love the shock factor wether it being a very clean car, or fast, or rare. espicially at a young age. DIY forums helped me,

but IA seriously made me the enthusiast i am today. i would probably still be putting body kits on hondas if it wasnt for IA.

Well, I'm a tad old, so it'll kinda show here. What got me started was Smokey & The Bandit! LMAO Poor old Buford & that black bandit car, yeesh. My dad loved them, so he taught me to drive at an early age.

Then moved to GA when everyone was driving short dog Caddy's & I wanted one. I wanted mine money green with the gold flakes, on vogues, hmmm come to think about it I still kinda do. LMAO

Then F&F got me into imports, & wanting to go fast,as I was into domestics back then. Brian( Keebs) on here sold me my 1st import, my riced-out Celica,then I joined a car team, & they sent me here.

I know have a true total better understanding about cars,their capabilities,ect. So now I'm in school so I can riceout( I.E paint, auto collision) any car I damn get. lol....Vegeta

Born in to it. My parents have always been in to cars so it rubbed off. My dad had an 260Z he built, and gave to me after he got a 911 SC. So thats where the Japanese side started for me. Then after driving my dads SC and moms 951 I fell in love with European cars.

[bowdown201]

been into cars since i was a kid. got it from my dad and i used to come out to meets ever since i was like 12.

[Jecht]

My dad had me help him with his old Beetles when I was growing up. I helped do little work on his other VWs as well. I mean I even helped hand him tools when he was putting Eibach springs and a Neuspeed short shifter on his Mk2 Jetta back in 1993 (I was 5!).
