I was playing NFS 2 SE while in my car phase as a kid... I was about 6 or 7, and owned almost 5000 hotwheels toy cars. I would build tracks out of legos to "race" the cars with my brother. I also collected all the tracks that hotwheels made and built a huge "super track" out of like 12 different sets.

Ahh... the good old days

I think my dad was hoping for a son...so I guess I got to do double duty as a daughter and son

When I was little my dad would teach me the make and models of various cars, and then quiz me on them when we were out and about. Then when we moved to AZ in 95 we met a nice family who our family became friends with. My dad became close friends with the husband of the family named Gar and Gar became like my own uncle, I even called him Uncle Gar. Gar happened to own a garage specializing in Subarus and raced super lates at the local track. My dad would always take me to the races on Saturdays and I would buy little matchbox cars at the track to play with and we'd watch Gar race.

Eventually, having a car lover in my Dad and then my "uncle", I got hooked. Gar also gave me the Impreza, and that's why I love Subaru's. Unfortunately he died last February, so i will never sell the Ru, and am going to school for mechanics and know Gar would be proud.

it started with my first car, a 1991 for escort gt (r.i.p), going to car shows and seeing how people express themselves in their cars pretty much keeps me hooked now
