What business was you Dads company engaged in?
Car hauling. That's why I grew up to be such a gearhead. I grew up around cars and truckers. I was the only chick in highschool to enrol in automotive. The only one who could do an oil change. I have a passion for hot cars, for what goes on under the hood. Even though my husband and I are separated, the one thing that drew me to him (despite the fact that we'd been friends for 10 years already) was that I was hot to trot to go to the auto show and knew what the hell I was talking about. I love cars. I cream over classics.
Cool! I was really into cars when I was a kid--not so much now; I used to be able to look at a car and give name, make, model and engine cc's.
