When were you bitten by the car bug??

Birth! I came home from the hospital after I was born in a 1970 Tor Red Plymouth Superbird 440 6BBL 4 Speed. When I was young enough to move around on my own, I’d sit in a diaper box on the living room floor and pretend I was driving and shifting. Later on, my dad gave me a pistol grip shift handle to use when I was “driving”. It was out of a non console 70 Road Runner. I thought that thing was enormous! My mom has a picture of that somewhere. Most of my dads cars were 4 speeds so that’s what I liked!
