NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! lol.


I'm not even going to lie, F&F got me into it, i think i was probably 16 when it came out, and after that i actually wanted a lime green eclipse for awhile. Luckily, im the kind of guy who researches things he likes and began to learn, and saw that your floorboards wont fall out when there is danger to the manifold.

^^^That def. helped

What got me hooked on sports cars was my first ever ride in a viper at 15. He did the biggest burnout followed by a pull through 3rd gear.

Def. my uncles 95 yellow corvette with a 383 stroker, lingenfelter heads/cam and a vortech supercharger is the car that made me want to start modding. Damn that bitch is fast.

they were. a friend had a 96gt that lasted him nearly 200k mi. it doesn't really make for a bad DD except that some interior bits do fall apart.

This is what my car looked like, but the wheels (same wheels) were chrome.

I got into the car scene when I was in Middle School(00'ish) with my best friend at that time buying super street mags every month from 7-11 and dreaming to be on the cover. Got my 1st project that was a crx when I was a freshman in high school for $2500 from saving lunch/work money and never did anything to it. Also my brothers had a 87 Crx si and a 95 civic si hb.

my first car 9 years ago, the mods were laughable. Still trying to make a car into what I want.
