I dunno, after not having a car for 2 years, I really seemed to enjoy driving, and saw lots of cool stuff on this site too, got a little excited, learned how fun it is to get your hands on this stuff 
I guess that was a little bit before I was 20

I wasn't and still am not hooked on the import scene.
Car models, spoilers, body kits, etc are what I like at all.
I like cars in general and especially their engineering and technical aspects since I was very young.

I was probably 7 or 8 when I became interested in cars. "Helping" my dad fix the cars, etc 
I wouldn't read school books but I would read car magazines I was into muscle cars and hot rods then. We only ever had Japanese cars and I liked them, but I was never really "into" them. I didn't really get into the import scene until I was 14 and got my first RX-7 (cost 1k canadian.. project car). Ever since then I've been reading everything I can on Imports, and working on my Protege GT and various RX-7s over the last few years.

Yeah, I'm not for any 'import scene,' just really whatever kind of car that I like
Hehe I just burned the Knight Rider song onto a CD, it's fun to bump

Well, let's see. When I was 4, my dad bought a Triumph TR4 to restore. (he sold it before it was finished) By age 6, I could identify almost any car on the road. I built my first model car at 7 (Revell '65 Mustang) and my first RC model at 13 (Tamiya Grasshopper). My first car was a '79 VW Scirocco, silver, 4-speed, former autocross car. Since then I've had 20 cars, everything from a Dodge Colt Turbo to a '71 Buick Electra to a '77 Chevy Nova SS (sorry, itzkcatz, I sold it years ago). I had a Knight Rider bedspread and every Dukes of Hazzard toy they made.
So I guess the answer would be that I've been a car guy all my life, and I don't really care where they're built, or by whom.
