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 -
