| 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.  |

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.

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

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.
