I got into cars to define my teen identity. I started high school timid, rather homely, and feeling invisible. What I wanted to be was hot, desirable, and beautiful. I reakoned since NASCAR, drag racing, and car themed movies all featured big haired beauty queens in mini skirts, car culture could somehow transform me from Olive Oil into Linda Vaughn. So I started hanging around a guy down the street who had just gotten an old Mach 1. That eventually led to my getting folded into the car crowd, and things went from there.
I'm pretty sure cars really had nothing to do with my fleshing out, but even to this day driving certain cars make me feel sexy, cool, and sassy. I also learned a lot about cars through my journey. Not that it's of much use. I've learned guys respond best to my asking if their car, whatever it may be, has a hemi.
