For me it started very early from my dad, he always had interesting cars and always drove them hard whenever I was in them. I loved going fast, hearing the car work and move about. I started collecting model cars and watched loads of TV shows about cars and the love just kept growing from there. I used to love sitting in my parents cars and pretending to drive them when I was kid, dreaming of the day I could actually drive a car myself.

For me it started very young, my dad was a mechanic, repaired cars in his own garage behind the house, always found it interesting, then watched F&F all series, then it kinda began to itch, couldn’t wait to drive my own car. Now I have my license for 2 months, driving a CRX and loving it totally. Just joy rides for when im stressed helps me getting the stress away <3

This is where my passion with cars began. A Citroen Fukang(Chinese version of Citroen ZX) I was three at the time my father bought it, and I remember spending so much time playing around with steering wheel and windscreen wipers.

cant really remember the really first thing, but my parents said that my dad gave me toy cars and that’s what made me attracted to a 4 wheel-ed things. Surprisingly, my first word is honda (i don’t really believe because i don’t know how i find it, maybe i heard from my parent’s conversation. Then I’m very fluent to car manufacturer names, rather than saying “daddy” or “mom” or any word. Then i got PS1 and play racing games nonstop. ferrari enzo was my first dream car. After having “experience” playing video games, I can find the difference between muscle, tuner, and exotics or you can say super car (even the sounds). growing up, growing up, and i pretended to became a “pro driver” just because i played nfs underground :P #ricerlife. my dad allowed me to drive, but only the roads near my house (50m radius), i handle the steering wheel, while my dad’s the pedals. Time passes by, and i really dumb back then, where all tuner cars like evo, imprezas, etc. are all v6 :P (but it was covered in 2012). 2007, once i was a gtr fanboy. When i looked at the top gear magazine, the new GT-R is shown to public, and i praised the new design. i looked every detail (please note this is the first time i look all the highlights of a model). The wheels, the brembo brakes, that multifunction tv. i drooled that it hit the magazine and i cry lol. until 2012, i know all basic parts of the engine. But from 2012-2013, I’m addicted to porn for like 6 months. but 2013-2014 is recovered again to cars thankfully. while in 2014, i keep research the cars that i don’t know to use for social things. 2014-present, i keep research and asking you guys and members to make me a better/mature car enthusiast. thx for reading.

I guess I can’t say exactly when I started liking cars. My whole childhood was spent at my grandparents house where all of my uncles were constantly building racecars or just playing in the junkyard around back.
