I have always been into cars. I've always done something to make everyone of them a little different than another. Even if it was something small...just so I could tell my hooptie from all the others that company produced. I didn't always consider it a hobby. I had others that have come and gone.

I collected comics.
I was a music freak. Bought a new stereo every few months and had enough casettes/cd's to fill a warehouse.
I collected designer sunglasses for a while. Boy, that's expensive.
I was a shoe freak. Once had 300 pair at one time.
I collected jewelry.

Things started to change when in 1990, I walked out of a store and there were 3 red Sentra's in the lot. Al of a sudden, my little mods weren't enough. I was headed toward the wrong car before realizing it wasn't mine. That's when I bought my first set of aftermarket wheels and I haven't looked back. I've given up collecting those other things. I still have some nice jewelry but only keep what I like to wear. Still have lots of music but sold a room full. Only have 10 pairs of shoes. Comics are too demonic for my taste. My extra cash goes to the cars now.

I'm glad you didn't see it because yours (no offense to the other poster) was much better.

Please take this as a "Ditto" to your post above.
