Since I can remember, I was always interested in anything mechanical. My first experience, though I guess not direct, with my addiction to the automobile was when I was 8. That year my parents bought me a visible V8 model; It was a moving model of an V8 engine that you could see through and put together. From there, I started to buy books on classic cars, go to shows, and read magazines. When I was 15 I bought my first car, a '62 nova, and started to learn the joy (or addiction) of the hobby.
