When did you "know" you were a car guy?
I’m a bit younger so this would have been around 87 or so. It’s interesting how time passes and generations come and go but a lot of the stories here are the same. My mom says I made “engine noises” well before I could speak while driving my cars and trucks around. My fascination with the automobile has apparently always been present, my fascination with Mopar is something I guess I learned from my dad. Notice the tail lights of the 72 Scamp... The Scamp was his first car and it’s still with us today! We don’t have a fleet of cars but between the two of us we have 6 classics and a few modern cars we have a lot of fun messing with. The modern cars are mostly me and just something I think he tolerates to stay in the shop with me. :) While I have been and hopefully always will be involved with the old school Mopars, I’m still fascinated and enjoy trying to understand some of the modern systems used today to increase performance. I guess if that trend continues I will be replacing OEM battery packs with my son and upgrading to the newest high performance battery’s offered by the high performance market..... Maybe not tho.... We are at least trying to start him off right!!
