I've always loved cars and one of the first things that made me interested in cars would have to be diecast collection I had when I was a kid. Brand names like Hot Wheels and Matchbox (1:64) and the 1:18 scale replicas were my absolute favorite to collect. The next thing is Road & Track, Car and Driver, Super Street, Import Tuner, Lowrider, Hot VWs and other car magazines that I enjoyed and still enjoy reading to this very day. Also, the forums that cater to imports and JDM inspired cars further pushed my love for cars into overdrive. But one memory for me that got me into cars would be my very first ride in a 1979 Datsun 280ZX that my friend owned. To me (in 1993: 8 years old) that car was fast and I enjoyed every minute I got to ride in it. Good times back in the day and cars are the reason I am the man I am today.
