How did you become a Mopar A-body Enthusiast?

I was 12 years old in '71 living just north of Seattle. Sitting in the passenger seat of my mom's Mustang at the intersection of 205th and Aurora when a brand new 340 Duster pulled right up along side us. It was either B5 Blue or In-Violet but what really blew my mind was the blacked out hood treatment and the GIGANTIC 340 WEDGE call-out placed diagonally on the hood! There was NOTHING else like that anywhere in 1971. It rumbled away from us and it was burned into my brain forever.
