Saw this photo posted to Facebook and it got me thinking. There was a pretty good discussion going on in the thread too, so I figured why not ask here. What got you into cars and/or racing?
For me it's honestly the OG Fast and Furious. Watched it on a field trip in 8th grade and I wanted that green Eclipse. Was obsessed with them until I bought my first Mustang my Sophomore year. I only got the Mustang because 2G DSMs were too expensive at the time so glad that happened.
Racing I got into because my brother used to like to tree people at stop lights in his n/a 3800 buick someone eventually told us about the old McDonald's/Taco Bell meet in Gurnee so we went up there with first Caddy and he raced a Civic for $7 I remember they pulled off before the race and jetted it up, as if they needed it. My bro launched in reverse and that was the end of it. Went back the following summer with my car and just kept going every summer because I was hooked. Ahh yes, the good ol days.
I'm sure this thread has been posted before, but maybe not. Besides it's as quiet as a church up in here. So what got you into cars?
