Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But A G Thang - YouTube

When this came out, i wanted a car.


This year, this color, exactly like this.



Then after i realized how much it costs to build one i didn't really care much for cars anymore. I didn't even know what a job was at that age. Was like 10 if not younger when west coast rap videos with low riders in em came out.

Never gave a shit about cars and avoided f&f movies because I thought ricers were stupid. Then I walked in on my roommate watching Tokyo Drift back in college and was captivated. Been into cars ever since. Call me stupid for getting into cars because of f&f, but I tried to avoid them goddamnit! It's my roommate's fault!

I don't actually remember what got me into cars. Some of my first memories are of scribbling sketches of crudely drawn vehicles. I even wrote to the Aston Martin telling them how much I wanted to be a car designer. They responded with a tour around the factory! This was all when I was under 10. When that first V600 Vantage fired up next to me, my fate was sealed.

The first 12 years of my life I was convinced I was going to be a car designer. Only in my teens did I realise it wasn't a practical venture. My dad wasn't a particular car head, so I'm not sure why i was so passionate about it.

Playing with lots of Mini4WD Tamiya cars/trucks, Scalextrics and other related crap when I was young really fed the modification and Japanese elements of my enthusiasm.

My car journey explained.

either legos or hotwheels. i've been into cars for as long as i can remember.

i used to bend the little axels on the hotwheels to make them slammed with HERRA CAMBA. then i was 12 and saw my first option video and was like, "this is what i want to do with my life."

When I was 11, my sister had a BF that had a B16? swapped Honda crx. He showed me a few things, took me to the local races with him.. and of course, I was hooked. Then a year or two later the 1st f&f came out and i think i had my parents drop me off at the movie theater like 5-6 times so i could see it, by myself even... lol

Kitt from the original knight rider, dukes of hazard. It was when I first saw McQueen in Bullit, soon after seeing gone in 60secs, is when I started saving up to get my own barnyard find; 71mach1, bought at 14 and 2 years later I had it running and could legally drive it. Going to meets with my dad, and his support, helped and eventually learned to appreciate imports.

ive always liked moving things like planes and trains but it got specific to cars kinda quick. by the time i was like 8 i had something like over 400 hotwheels and matchbox cars and a bunch of other hotwheels racetrack sets.

i'll say f&f def had something to do with it, but when it came out i really didnt have an interest in the street racing scene at all, nor did i really know anything about it. honestly the only reason why i first saw it in theaters was because dr. doolittle 2 was sold out, and i was supposed to see that.

I grew up around cars. Hell, I practically learned to read with a Car Craft magazine in my hand. By the time I was 10 years old I had my own subscription to Street Rodder magazine. My Dad has a bunch of old muscle cars, 3 1962 Impala's (one of which is an original 409), a 71 big block GMC and a 71 big block chevy pickup, a 1967 GTO convertible... My first car when I was 17 was a 1968 Oldmosbile Cutlass S with 62K original miles, Im still the second owner. Somewhere around my Dad's place theres a picture of me when I was about 2 years old sitting on top of a big block Chevy that he was rebuilding. The first car I ever rode in (as in, on the way home from the hospital after being born) was a 5.0 fox body.
I guess you could say my interests in cars is just hereditary.
