The high school near my office is a career and technical high school where the students can specialize in automotive shop, welding, drafting, engineering, cooking, nursing and on and on. Their automotive shop would rival most dealerships. The whole school is really amazing.
I didn't take any car magazines as a kid but the office where my mom worked back in the early 80's took Autoweek. All the guys in the office would read it, initial it, and pass it on to the next office. My mom brought them home to me when they were done.
My high school also had a subscriptions to a few car magazines so I spent my spare time in the library pouring over them.
The whole time I spent my after school and weekend time working in a bicycle shop and then in college a motorcycle shop.
And that explains why my car budget/income ratio is much higher than the average person
