Since my early childhood I have been in love with cars and modifications to them. I always had Hotwheels, Matchbox, or something like that to play with. I had a Spiderman Crime-lab Van and customized Spiderman roadster when I was very young. I remember the year I got a yellow 4X4 Firebird named "the Animal". And although I grew up with many different car inspired toys I remember two in particular (one I had & one I only saw at Kmart) that probabbly in fluenced my two biggest car passions - Novas and F100s.
The first was this AMT model car kit of a Chevy Nova I saw up on the top shelf at Kmart as a kid:

- DISCLAIMER: Although I am a car guy this is not solely a car blog. I will talk cars, but this is also a blog about how I view the world. Just ask my mom and she will tell you my first word was "car". I do have a slight fascination with them. Luckily I have a supportive family and a very understanding wife...
