Default How did you first get into cars/racing?

Bored at school, and was just wondering. Me personally, my Dad owned a Porsche 912 when I was in elementary school, and my Uncle's a current owner of three of Stuttgart's finest (including an '02 996 Twin Turbo) so it came naturally to me. As for racing, I used to be brought to Sebring as a toddler when my uncle would race his older 911 turbo, and my Dad introduced Formula 1 to me in 1994ish....he told me about "a German kid who was a rookie and doing REALLY good"....been a Schumacher fan since! What's your story?

Lived in Ireland for 3 years in my youth and my Dads buddy raced rally and took me out once for a practice type run, it was on!!! Then my hood had some older guys that had some bad ass rides that I got to cruise once in a while. And my older brother had some cool rides.
