At what age did you get hooked on the import scene & cars itself?

 

VWs are imports, so it's been awhile. But I've been into cars as long as I can remember. Hotwheels, bigwheels, anything with wheels!

 

I dunno, after not having a car for 2 years, I really seemed to enjoy driving, and saw lots of cool stuff on this site too, got a little excited, learned how fun it is to get your hands on this stuff

I guess that was a little bit before I was 20

 

hooked on cars, about as far back as I can remember... the "import scene", can't say I'm hooked on that at all.

 

I agree. Ive been hooked on cars since i was around 17 . But not the import scene i like all cars (hondas,chevys,fords).I think my next car will be a 70's SS nova

 

hey they are the best ones to have...sometimes

i got hook around 16 when i always hiung out with a friend in his pimped out dodge colt good old days

 

I wasn't and still am not hooked on the import scene.
Car models, spoilers, body kits, etc are what I like at all.
I like cars in general and especially their engineering and technical aspects since I was very young.

 

I was probably 7 or 8 when I became interested in cars. "Helping" my dad fix the cars, etc I wouldn't read school books but I would read car magazines I was into muscle cars and hot rods then. We only ever had Japanese cars and I liked them, but I was never really "into" them. I didn't really get into the import scene until I was 14 and got my first RX-7 (cost 1k canadian.. project car). Ever since then I've been reading everything I can on Imports, and working on my Protege GT and various RX-7s over the last few years.

 

I've loved cars ever since I was a little kid... Anyone ever watch the movie gumball rally? I think that was my turning point... *gurgle* Shellllllby Cobra.......

 

I was hooked on the cannon ball run movies when i was young

 

Knight rider

 

That too!

 

Yeah, I'm not for any 'import scene,' just really whatever kind of car that I like

Hehe I just burned the Knight Rider song onto a CD, it's fun to bump

 

Well, let's see. When I was 4, my dad bought a Triumph TR4 to restore. (he sold it before it was finished) By age 6, I could identify almost any car on the road. I built my first model car at 7 (Revell '65 Mustang) and my first RC model at 13 (Tamiya Grasshopper). My first car was a '79 VW Scirocco, silver, 4-speed, former autocross car. Since then I've had 20 cars, everything from a Dodge Colt Turbo to a '71 Buick Electra to a '77 Chevy Nova SS (sorry, itzkcatz, I sold it years ago). I had a Knight Rider bedspread and every Dukes of Hazzard toy they made.

So I guess the answer would be that I've been a car guy all my life, and I don't really care where they're built, or by whom.

 

As much as i like imports, theres something about the respect a muscle car gets with a blower sticking threw the hood
