When were you bitten by the car bug??

I was 8 years old, and my big brother bought his first brand new car. It was a 65 Barracuda, 273 4 bbl, 4 spd. We were at my grandmas for Sunday dinner, and he took me for a ride. Instantly hooked! He is 14 years older than me, but our Mom heard the tires burning and the engine screaming down the road. She threatened to whoop his *** for driving like that with me in the car. We looked at each other and laughed.....and then ran like hell...lol.
