i'm curious how everybody else got interested in cars
as for me, when iwas a kid i loved trains (haha) and machines in general, and i'd see cars in movies and ask my dad about them, but when i was getting ready to drive and get my own car is when i really got into it. how bout you guys/girls

Gran Turismo 3&4, Initial D, and D1GP. In that order, and the sweet sound of high revving F1 engines.

[aznanimekid]

initial d. imagine how sad i felt when i found out it wasnt real

My coworkers. They were in a racing crew and a lot of the guys had fixed up cars. They talked about it often and that is when I got my first pair of clear corners hahahaha.

[sushiwhore]

i saw it on a drama and thought it was cute then i sat in one at a car show and i was in love o_o abosolulty in love

[taoh]

I think the original Gran Turismo kind of got me started, but my driving experience and technique didn't really start to develop until the beginning of college when I discovered Initial D. That's when I read more into racing theory, cornering techniques, etc.

since i was like 4ish i always liked mercedes and porches cuz i knew they were expensive cars and i always wanted one.

Mine started when my uncle bought his Volvo S70 turbo back in 1998 (when in 8th grade), and damn, that car was pretty damn fast (coupled with my uncle's aggressive driving and 'cocky-ness'). I loved riding in that car. All through high school i always wanted to get a car, so i guess that helped me along the way. Finally in college I bought my first car.

I coveted my uncle's S70 so much and even when I already had my first car, I bought a Volvo myself (as my second car)! Also this Volvo has taught me most of the skills I needed to start working on cars. Now i do most of the work on my car when its in need of maintanance or even repair.

i got interested in cars when i was 14 and one of my close oppas that had the same birthday as me was given a brand new 1998 acura integra gsr for his birthday <obviously this was in 1998 keke> and since then ive been interested in cars and hooking them up, and just interested in cars in general as well.

[v8subie]

my friends were honda heads and hung around for the b series engine swaps which i thought it was pretty interesting. after watching a few episodes of BMI i thought it was pretty cool, so i go auto-x once in a while.

When I was 15, everyone else around me were 16 and were getting their driver's learning permit. I wanted to drive to.

Then everyone else were getting cars. I wanted a car too.

And here I am.

I-N-I-T-I-A-L-D

i started reading the comics before the anime came out, the anime only made a better impression

actually come to think of it, it might be an anime called "cyber formula" has anyone heard of it?

[dtemplar]

Need for Speed got me interested in cars. Initial D got me interested in driving techniques and other more advanced stuff.

[vikkay]

i grew up with my cousins, i was the only girl that got along with them actually.
they would play grand turismo, need for speed & initial d alot so i kinda got into that a bit.
then i started liking cars i saw on the streets, like the 350Z and the wrx [:

i guess having only guys as friends got me more into it a bit lol

[boost]

flipping through a magazine and seeing the release of the 300zx for the first time.. sparked my interest.
