I feel I'm living a part of everyone's answer. My reasons:
95% it's just in me. I built my first motorsport project (mini bike) at eight years old. Today I'm like a kid in a candy store and go fast stuff makes me all tingley. I'm an addict a chasing buzz, and it gets more challenging with every fix.
5% I've discovered, is trying to fill a hole that can't be filled. It's my DNA, I accept it and have learned to live with it.
