When I drove for the first time. I just plain love driving. Almost doesn't matter what, but of course tastes filtered and refined over time.

It began with a model of a third gen Camaro that I made as a kid. My love for shitboxes began when I just started to admire my dad's 2wd beater truck.

My first and current car is a manual. Once I started driving that thing I realized how fun it is to just drive, shifting gears and feeling the car around you.

Right after that I met some friend who were into cars and got me hooked.

Besides the basic thrills of motion and acceleration, they symbolized freedom for me a suburban teen. They also function as masks or avatars that we wear. As a shy a shy kid with poor social skills cars were a way to try out and express new personalities.

the awd models could stand to have a slightly shorter wheelbase but other than that they're prefect in every way

you will never change my mind. a car like a F type is so much nicer to look at, give me a rwd f type

Video games and Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars.

Then I got older and instead of going 'this car looks cool,' I wanted to know WHY it was so cool, who made it, what was it capable of, and what other cool cars are there.

Now my dream is a clean Volvo 740 Turbo wagon. So somewhere along the line I lost the cool part.

Watching rally

they looked cool and were faast

I read a lot of magazine about cars my dad used to buy as a kid. I really though cars were cool, but as I was growing up it became apparent that there is absolutely no practical reason for me to have a car and spend money on it, I became more interested in computers too so I just stopped caring. But then I watched Initial D and it kind of invigorated the passion, now I at least reazlize that I don't care if it's practically useful. Maybe I'll be able to get a driving license somehow.
