I started reading car books when I was about 14. I'd say that's when I started. My interests were further sparked at age 16, when I got into the whole "I love Mustangs" scene. Then, at 19, I met my husband, who taught me the ins and outs of mechanical upgrades. That's what
really did it. Hands on experience turned me into a blossoming car freak. Now, instead of arguing over what's for dinner, we argue about the 2.02 intake valves vs. 2.05s.
