car that influenced me when I was young

There have been plenty of cars that influenced me, but the first one was a 66 or 67 Cyclone 390 GT that one of my dad's coworkers was trying to sell him. I was about 7 or 8 years old and managed to get a ride when the old man was 'test driving' it. The smell of tire smoke and exhaust, the sound, and the rush of acceleration had me hooked immediately. A few years later my friend's older brother bought a 69 Firebird 400, man that car was just COOL!
A cousin had an SS454 Chevelle, another had a 71 Challenger convertible, my asshole brother bought a 71 Mustang Mach 1 with a 429 SCJ 4 speed drag pack car, his friend had a 69 Charger Daytona, yeah things snowballed from there.
