Not a loaded question. Not criticism. Just want to hear what draws you to them, in whatever form it may.

Poor. lack of funds. forced me to maintain my own cars…
Plus a place to vent… when I got pissed I use to go out and work on my ATC that I bought at 13 with my paper rout money… and it spread from there…

Therapy. Its a stress reliever, even when shit is broken - its generally simpler to fix the car then it is to fix many other things in life. When its not broken, its alot more fun to kill time w/horsepower rather then say, building ships in a bottle.
Answer your own question Fry…

this and race cars. It’s hard to not be into cars when you have been around a race track since you were a toddler. I can’t wait to get back into racing when I get more financially stable.

Honestly? Fast and the Furious. I was 16 when it came out.
Fortunately, I was pretty intelligent and started reading car forums and with the help of some friends was steered clear of the whole ricer fad before I bought my first car.
What keeps me here is the satisfaction of working on my own car and improving it in some way and love of driving.
