I'm a lot like Rodimus Prime above since I was born around the same time. I've been into cars as long as I can remember. Probably came out of the womb with a matchbox car in my hand. My dad used to buy old car trader magazines that I would thumb through and he would quiz me on which cars were what. Built a lot of model cars growing up as well. Naturally progressed into the real thing. I remember seeing my first Grand National around 1986 on the showroom floor at the local Buick Dealer as my dad was there getting service done on one of our cars. I can recall just being fascinated with the wheels. Don't know why, but I fell in love with them. Remember an older gentleman driving a GN to church every Sunday and staring out the Sunday School window at it. I know I should have been focusing on the lesson, but hey that's how it goes for a car guy. Lived near us and sometimes on the school bus we would pass it as the gentleman's wife was on her way to work early in the morning as we were in route to school. Fast forward about 20 yrs and numerous not so exciting cars later and I got my first Turbo Buick. Never looked back! Love reading the stories keep em coming.
