    Never had one,never really wanted one, but the word was : CAMARO
    Don't know why I liked it, only one person that I can recall had one, and I didn't meet him until 11th grade...

    TURBO........SUPERCHARGER......BIG BLOCK any of those were for my friends and I. In my circle we always had the tuned out turbos SC's and big block cars ripping around. My buddy shoved a 350 in his camaro gold chevette and put big a$$ tires on the back and thought he was the cat's meow. I had a 89 2.2L turbo Mazda mx6 and that thing flew. My best buddy Jay had an 88 Tbird supercharged oh man I loved driving that thing, he had the tint so dark on the windows you couldn't tell if it was night or day outside until you opened the door lol and ofcourse my buddy's poop brown buick regal we all called it the shitreef because it looked like poop and stunk of reefer everywhere he went cause he burned 24/7.

    Big block, headers, glass packs. The later two got me into my corvette, the first finally happened with the Riviera.

    I can’t point to one thing that pushed me into cars, but “V8” might have as well done it

    I had a few I think I was swayed by the ads of the day

    Raised GM and huge Chev influence anything SS Chevelle,Nova,Impala,Camaro didnt matter it was a SS
    Then the Ford /Mercury's any thing they put a GT on
    Finally Mopars cool names GTX, Roadrunner,Cuda,Dart Etc
    Funny thing is it took me years to learn about Pontiacs,Olds and Buick cars and their good marketing names
