How many of you were hooked into cars by a certain car? Something that just "lit the fire" in you, so to speak, and led to your interest in automobiles? For instance, an encounter with a car, a parents car, tv commercial, whatever. What was it for you?
For me, it was my Dad's 1972 Buick Skylark Custom. It was kind of like the luxury GS, black on black, bench with fold down armrest, 350 4-bbl/auto, I'm guessing something like 3.08 gears. He would always let my brother and I watch out the back window while tire smoke poured from the wheelwells. I remember the quadrajet always sounded like it was going to suck the hood in. Lots of little street races, and it is really the first car that I drove, going up and down the driveway when I was 14-15 practicing. He still has it, its all torn apart, hasn't been started in years. I would like to get him back on it.
Whats your story?
