I thought it might be a fun thread for everyone to post what their first car related memory is from childhood.
Also if you want to, what do you remember getting you interested in cars and at what age?

My first memory was probably when I was 3 or 4 years old, I can remember riding in the front seat of my dads 56 Chevy 210 at night. Looking at the instrument cluster and being amazed when the little bow tie would light up whenever he a would put the lights on bright.

Funny though I may have been about 5 when I really got interested in cars, Chevy's in particular. Again with my Dad's 56 210, with a 265 V8 power pack with a powerglide. Whenever my dad would work on that car I would be there with him, handing him tools, helping clean parts in gasoline, and watching him put the car back together. Tune ups, valve adjustments, oil changes and brake jobs always fascinated me. He could make that car purr like you would't believe and he could do it all by the sounds of the engine.
Anytime after that I could ask him anything about a car and he would know the answer.
I sure miss him, he passed away in 2008 at the age of 88.
