For as long as I can remember i’ve been obsessed with cars. My earliest memory would have to be my Bigfoot Power Wheels I received for Christmas when I was 4 years old. I drove that all over my yard with my dog (Shadow) in the rear section. Funny enough, I didn’t get my license until well after high school, but once I did it began a life long obsession. My first car was a VW Jetta, which was actually my step-moms, but I acquired it. Of course it had all the VW issues, but overall it was a good car. Soon after the VW I traded it in for my first new car, a 2011 Acura TSX. This car was the most reliable, comfortable and stylish.
The Obsession begins…
However, my real car hobby didn’t begin until the spring of 2014, when I was able to buy a BMW M3, something I wanted and worked for since high school. After acquiring this car I was quickly introduced to the motorsports world, where I was able to attend car events, autocross and track days.
Ferrari F430, The Dream Car
Most car enthusiasts grew up with a dream car on their mind, but sometimes the preferred car changes as they get older. Not me however, my dream car has been and continues to be a Ferrari F430 F1 (or gated manual shifter). Thanks in part to my never-ending thirst for growth, being able to do what I love and support from my family of crazy work hours, I know one day that car will be sitting in my garage.
Chapter One: 2014-2019
This is only the beginning of the car obsession story, i’ll be sure to update build(s) and cars purchased as time goes on. I plan to dabble in classic car ownership, maybe tinker with some in the garage and generally get my hands dirty with cars. One day in the future i’ll be posting a photo (and delivery video) of that red Ferrari F430, oh right, I didn’t mention. It will be red!
Chapter Two: 2020-Present
The era of Porsche. While I didn’t get the F430 (yet), I have owned a few Porsche’s and currently drive a 2022 GT4! I do still have a fondness for Ferrari and do plan to own one at some point, but having spoken to many owners it was determined I drive too much and upkeep would be a financial killer. Oh and I finally did get that classic car project, its just… WAY MORE WORK… than I planned, so its slow going.
