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

I was always into cars but i was to busy buying houses raising kids and building my business and never had the money for extra toys. In 95 i bought my 1st vette it was an 86 pace car convertible with 10K original miles had it for a few years and decided i needed a "classic" so i sold it and bought a 62 fuelie that needed extensive work which kinda soured me on the "classics" i sold that and bought a 98 convertible and started to do motor up-grades and got really deseased and put an obscene amount of money in the car but its really fast and fun to drive. when i wanted to buy the LS5 chevelle i have now my wife said "your going to sell the vette right ?" i looked at her like she had 2 heads and replyed "why would i want to do that honey i have an extra spot in the garage just going to waste"
why is it that women dont understand these things lol.

Im hoping to win the lottery so i can build a 10,000 sq ft shop and have an unlimited car buying budget. I use to have different fantasys when i was younger and they didnt involve cars

I was about 7 when I remember seeing the '78 Corvette Pace car sitting on the local dealers floor. I was trying to convince my mom that there was room under that back glass for stuff. I came home from the hospital in a '68 Barracuda, my first car was a '70 Ford Torino, my college car was an '84 Z28, and my garage has one car I can never imagine letting go, my '69 H/O!
