There was always someone with a fast car in my family. One uncle with a 70 Mach 1, red with black interior. He used to haul my older brother and I around on the weekends in it. Then when my brother got old enough he got an Opel Manta. It had a Buick V6, TH350 trans and a 9 inch. He used to take me to the high school drags. After he sold it he got a 67 Camaro with a big block and that was it for me. I used to bug him and his friends wantig rides all the time. I was 14 at that point. Since then anything with a motor in it has my interest. Even my grandmother had fast cars. My grandpa always had her in Grand Torinos as far back as I can remember.
It didn't hurt that my dad worked in motorcycle shops the whole time I was growing up. I remember when the GSXR came out and him taking me for a ride on one. Bikes, cars and trucks.
