Well okay Ill be the first.
I was 16 and bought a 1956 vw baja bug. As with most bugs it broke down all the time. After watching a man change out my clutch in about 45 minutes and demand $275.00 from me, I decided to do the repairs myself. I went nuts on that car and built it to the extreme. I fell in love with cars and went onto College for Auto body. Here I am 18 years later and I still love gettin up in the morning and beating on an old car for a living.
