Been into oldschool hotrods and muscle cars all my life by way of my mom working for AC-Delco/GM and getting free tickets to commerce every now and then. But for sport compacts we had a teacher at my middle school in Denver (moved there for 2yrs) who had a modified Supra and when we were on the busses getting ready to go home he'd always rip past us. Did research, found out things, saw IA around 01 or 02 I think but wasn't back in atlanta until 04-05ish to really be a member.
