For me it started very early from my dad, he always had interesting cars and always drove them hard whenever I was in them. I loved going fast, hearing the car work and move about. I started collecting model cars and watched loads of TV shows about cars and the love just kept growing from there. I used to love sitting in my parents cars and pretending to drive them when I was kid, dreaming of the day I could actually drive a car myself.
I have a very sadastic family my uncle put a 1993 wrx impreza in front of the house saying “this is yours when you get your lisence” so got my lisence drove the wrx for a few months until it broke down. Apperently my uncle didn’t took good xare of her
much the same.my dad had a capri (doesnt look like one anymore) which was his first car which he built from the ground up. that car is what started my obsession thats all their is to it. i liked the fact everywhere we go we get looked at and questioned about whats in it, how much boost ect. i know every single answer now
Same here
On my 4th Birthday my dad borrowed a lotus elise through work, Reef - Glow album on and country roads, all it took!
For me it started very young, my dad was a mechanic, repaired cars in his own garage behind the house, always found it interesting, then watched F&F all series, then it kinda began to itch, couldn’t wait to drive my own car. Now I have my license for 2 months, driving a CRX and loving it totally. Just joy rides for when im stressed helps me getting the stress away <3
I honestly don’t know, it just kinda happened.
Right? I’m so jealous when people have a story. I guess the obsession grew when I started looking for a fun, rwd car, but there wasn’t any aha moment
Same here. Neither my family nor my friends are car people.
Same here!

I always loved races and racing things. My mom told me that it started as soon as I could move. I don’t know why nor when it started. But the shear sound of an engine, the speed and the acceleration feel of a moving object made me very happy.
The day I came home from the hospital, I guarantee my dad and I watched racing. Wholesome entertaining racing :) such were the next two years until it was tradition
street race?
This is where my passion with cars began. A Citroen Fukang(Chinese version of Citroen ZX) I was three at the time my father bought it, and I remember spending so much time playing around with steering wheel and windscreen wipers.
I remember my self doing that in my dad’s vectra… it was fun to me when i was 3
My mom had a red hatchback version of that!! I thought it was an AE86…
cant really remember the really first thing, but my parents said that my dad gave me toy cars and that’s what made me attracted to a 4 wheel-ed things. Surprisingly, my first word is honda (i don’t really believe because i don’t know how i find it, maybe i heard from my parent’s conversation. Then I’m very fluent to car manufacturer names, rather than saying “daddy” or “mom” or any word. Then i got PS1 and play racing games nonstop. ferrari enzo was my first dream car. After having “experience” playing video games, I can find the difference between muscle, tuner, and exotics or you can say super car (even the sounds). growing up, growing up, and i pretended to became a “pro driver” just because i played nfs underground :P #ricerlife. my dad allowed me to drive, but only the roads near my house (50m radius), i handle the steering wheel, while my dad’s the pedals. Time passes by, and i really dumb back then, where all tuner cars like evo, imprezas, etc. are all v6 :P (but it was covered in 2012). 2007, once i was a gtr fanboy. When i looked at the top gear magazine, the new GT-R is shown to public, and i praised the new design. i looked every detail (please note this is the first time i look all the highlights of a model). The wheels, the brembo brakes, that multifunction tv. i drooled that it hit the magazine and i cry lol. until 2012, i know all basic parts of the engine. But from 2012-2013, I’m addicted to porn for like 6 months. but 2013-2014 is recovered again to cars thankfully. while in 2014, i keep research the cars that i don’t know to use for social things. 2014-present, i keep research and asking you guys and members to make me a better/mature car enthusiast. thx for reading.
Addicted to porn. That was gold
I guess I can’t say exactly when I started liking cars. My whole childhood was spent at my grandparents house where all of my uncles were constantly building racecars or just playing in the junkyard around back.
When i was 5 i got a PS2 and i only had one game which was Need For Speed Underground … I still have the ps2 and the game … good memories !
