What age were you when you caught the "fever"?

Man I have always been exposed to cars! I caught the bug VERY early! Here is me circa 1986 when I was about 8 years old!

For me it was when I was 12 during deer hunting season...my dad wasn't into cars, but I had an uncle that was...I was out at my uncle's house cutting up the deer from the season that just ended and I remember being a lot more interested with what was under the car cover (a '69 Camaro) than cutting meat off of deer....and it just so happens that I own that car now...as a matter of fact it is the first car I owned - bought it the day after I got my driver's license (yeah, he let me buy, drive it home and then made park it in the garage for a year before he would let me drive it, but that didn't matter, at least I had it)....and the fever temp just keeps rising -

1969, 6 years old my dads buddy was looking for a new car. He had his son with him so i got to go to. We went to a ford dealership and he was looking at a 69 gold cougar with a cheetah print vinyl roof, we took it for a test drive and i thought the car was the coolest and he did end up buying it. Thats when i started taking a look at all the other cars out there, and caught the fever.

This would be imposible for me to answer since I have always had the fever ever since I can remember. I think what really got me though was the cold December evening when my parents took me and my brother car shopping in Northern New Jersey. From looking at the snow covered Marlboro Maroon 1969 Corvette to our trip to the Ford showroom which housed a yellow 1970 Boss 302, a Black Jade Shelby GT500 and the Raven Black Mach 1. The test drive in the owner's 1968 GT 500 convertible to seeing, what would ultimately become our 1969 Grabber Blue GT500 which was under a cover along side the dealership. Yes, I would have to say that this night in particular solidified my passion for loud, fast and beautiful musclecars.

In early 1963,while my Mom was 6 months pregnant with me,my Dad playfully drove a Tootsie Toy over her Belly a few times to massage her.This became a nightly routine.
Then later she says a Hospital Sonogram showed my hands at 10 & 2.
A month later I was working the Clutch....

When I was swimming around in my Dad's testicles I remember fishtailing and that started it all

I'm 39 now and it was sometime in 1968. My parents went to our local chevy dealer to buy an Impala. I fell in love that day with a 1969 Pace car on the showroom floor. I remember sitting in it begging my father to buy it but he wanted the Impala and we went home in it not the pace car.
Years later my passions changed to include another love a 1988 930 Porsche. So for me guys that's how it started and I hope it never ends.
