Mopar Addicts - How'd You Get Hooked?

Cool stories, all of em. For the guys that grew up around the hobby, you're lucky. Nobody in my family was into cars while I was growing up. But when I was 19 (1978) I had a '67 firebird that I really learned how to hot rod with. The car was fast and I street raced a lot. Then one day a prior classmate raced me and blew my doors off. He was driving a '70 340 Duster. I was hooked.
