When were you bitten by the car bug??

My dad was NOT into cars other then to drive his company car around. He did buy my mom a 1959 T-Bird. At 15, he took me to a SOHIO gas station figuring out that that is where my life would go & not into the business world.
As kids my brothers & I would play with the little electric slot cars, I had dirt bike then street bikes & both of my older brothers had 1966 Fairlane GT's, one was a GT & the other a GTA. My first was a 1968 SS 396 - 325HP Chevelle, had it about a year then moved on to a 1969 Swinger 340 4-speed. Many cars since the early 70's of various brands, still have 3- 1969 Darts, two are Swinger 340 cars in various conditions.
