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

A guy that lived next door to my grandmother had a 68 Chevelle SS with a 327 in it. It was dark blue with a light blue interior. I can still remember seeing him pull into the driveway- I was hooked!! Thanks to my cousin's Dart Sport with a 340 for becoming a mopar nut. When I was about 8 or 9 my mom brought home a santa from where she worked that was broken and my Dad tried to fix it. It had a music box it in that played a christmas tune but Dad could not get it going. I pulled it out of the garbage and got it going. I still have that Santa and proudly display it every Chritmas so my Dad can see it!
