I was obsessed with cars by the time I was 2 or 3 and it never went away. Announced on my fourth birthday I was going to "save my pennies and buy a Porsche" and five years ago I finally did. Grew up drawing cars, building model cars, going to car races, reading about cars, cars, went to engineering school and worked on race cars, went to art school to study car design, burned out from too much school, worked in the car industry as an engineer, do you see a trend? I have no idea where it came from because it didn't run in my family and I didn't grow up in a car-culture environment. But if I had to pick one thing from my early childhood that might have been critical, it might have been watching "Susie the Little Blue Coupe." I'm only guessing but when I saw it again for the first time in decades as an adult my reaction was so intense I cried, so there must be something there.
