[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 15818303, member: 18779"] I'll try to give you the condensed version of why I was in to cars before I sold them all. My father was a hot rodder. Not a "buy something already fast and make a few tweaks" hot rodder, but a LEGIT hot-rodder. He built several completely custom hot rods, including several Fords, Pontiacs, etc. We never talked much about it when I was VERY young. But, he showed me pictures, and always helped me customize things that are important to a young boy, specifically my bike. As I grew older, and he became more successful as a consulting engineer and engineering professor, he got into more cool stuff: he worked for Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a number of years, helping with time trial for the 500, doing some consulting for the track, etc. He also had a number of cars that were pretty cool to me as a younger boy; a Ferrari 348TS, several 911 Turbos including a stunning 1987, so on and so forth. He let me help him work on them, and take care of them, and even drive them sometimes, so I developed a love for cars because they were a conduit for spending time with my dad. Fast forward to when I was old enough for my own car, and he helped me get my first Mustang, a black '88 GT. That got wrecked by a "friend", then I got a white '91 GT. Sold that to my step brother. A few years later, I got my Cobra. Sold my Cobra a couple years ago because **** divorce. The End [/QUOTE]
