What got you hooked on cars?
 

I was going through some old car magazines today getting rid of the ones I don't want anymore and I came across the my first mag that got me hooked. It was the dupont luxury car magazine with all the fancy lamborghini's and what not. If you asked me then, I wouldn't have had the slightest clue as to how big of an automotive enthusiast I would have become. It's amazing that small things have such big impacts on people.

So what got you hooked on the automotive scene? There's a reason why so many of us surf on car websites like revscene, let's hear them.:thumbsup:

ricers/fast and furious movies etc, no joke, when i was like 8 i was like maaaan thats soo cool (i was also always interested in cars before that) and than i was the biggest ricer fan boy ever, than the internet forums got me into hate ricers and taught me to go cleannnn :D

My dad. He was a big car nut

nfs-underground2
when it first came out, i tried it.. and i fell in love with the celica..
and now i drive a celica. lol

I got shit loads of PAS magazines back then when I was in junior high, I bought them because of the import models 80% of the time. Then in high school I took mechanic and it became an obsession. Oh and I used to be a big NFS fan also.

As a child, my parents got me a couple of power wheels. I remember how awesome those were, back in the day. I would have to say they made me have a passion for cars.

Hotwheels toy cars and the sounds of engines.

Nfs underground 2 ftmfw. I totally remember playing that game and i still think its the best nfs game ever. I remember I started out with a miata and i put spinners on dat cat when i first started playing:facepalm:

Once my taste matured, I actually started to put the quality parts on. Thanks for reminding me.:thumbsup:

Toy cars.

i must have been 16-17 yrs old, i'm naive, my brother told me to buy him rims for his eg coupe, used $1600 of my hard-earned money. went with him to see the 'hype'.... wow...the car does look much better. started to get interested in cars from there.

toy cars when i was a kid and NFS underground2 when I was in high school. That is the best ever NFS game hands down.

games when i was younger, grand turismo had a lot to do with that

when i was 3 parents got me one of those cars where you use your legs to push yourself around. Toy cars from age 4 tell 10 . From then on always loved cars. Gr7 tell 12 intial D and maximum tune arcade games, manga, anime, movie made me become obsessive over cars.

nfs porsche unleashed

^yes! those were defnatly the days

ur mom

the mercedes that was passed on in my family for like 2 gens( my great grandpa and my grandpa) that thing was a beast i remember my dad taking me for drives and we smoked every car and then i thought it was the coolest car in the world and i still do and i hope i can have it one day but i think itll be pretty hard to ship it here from the middle east lol. It looks exacly like the pic attached except its black with i think redish leather. I have actual pics on my home office computer.
