Never had the intention of modding. But my 1st car needed some work and i was poor. So i guess junk yard runs, and fixing my car got me addicted. It just..never ends.

I agree... most people who still have them try to do horrid things with them.

Did I say 6-speed? I meant 5-speed. I'm used to typing 6-speed from the Corvette thing.

Uncle was into drag racing. Took my dad and myself to the track a couple times when i was like 13 and i was hooked every since. Even though he has totally different cars (69 Roadruuner and a Dart) my 1st car was a 89 CRX that i got for 600 bucks. Ended up selling it for 4g's when i got done with it.

I use to see civics with bodykits, huge spoilers, and loud exhausts. I remember envying them at sight. It wasn't until the F&F series came out and when I started learning more about cars when I began to realize how stupid those things were. But I have yet to meet a person who didn't have a rough start to modifying cars.

My first time down at Colonial Beach Dragway. I was about 11 years old and watched my uncle walk the dog on a 91' Vette in his 82' Camaro with a 350 in it............................. I was in love from that point on and I think i busted my first nut!

I can't really remember what hooked me... I remember I was crazy into it before I even owned a car. I always loved speed ect so I'm sure that and freinds with moded cars got me hooked. Bought my first car, a 1988 Honda CRX Si w/ 64,000 original miles on it in 2000. I ended up being the typical hot headed 16 year old with some decent sized balls/ common sense and pushed myself to learn how to drive the shit out of an automobile. Been in it ever since.
