What One Car (doesn't have to be a Mopar) Turned You Into A Gearhead?

First factory musclecar I ever rode in was a 65 GOTE. I grew up in a small town, and there just wasn't that much money for those cars, at least that early. Cousin of a friend of mine came to town, I guess he had a "rich daddy" but I'll say this, he had shiftin' down PAT. Still to this day I can remember bein' impressed.
