I remember when my parents bought me a Ferrari 360 with a controller to navigate it.Since then,cars became my life and obsession.
After that,there are Fast and Furious and Need for Speed Underground.
When I was young, I had a bunch of Hot Wheels cars. Then NFS came into my life. First i played NFS undercover, Hot Pursuit, TDU2, NFS Most wanted, and last was Rivals.
