I haven't seen a thread like this, so i figured why not share and see what got everyone into cars/trucks and got you to where you are today, in dept and in love with cars/trucks. Maybe this will become a sticky!
or me, it was a 1995 Thunderbird LX with the 4.6. It was my first car and Fast and Furious hit in 2001. I then started going to car shows with my uncle who had a 71' Torino GT as well as a 60's Tbird. It all snowballed and I went from having a stock Tbird to having:
ROH Rims
Xenon GFX Kit
Custom CAI
Hypertech Chip
160' Thermostat
JBA Headers
Magnaflow Cats and Mufflers H-Pipe Exhaust built by Kooks (when in Brentwood NY)
Performance Automatic Valve Body
Trans Cooler
I ended up selling her in 05', later i got an 04 Mustang GT in 2010 and did similar mods and even placed at car shows with my daily driver until I sold that car in 2015, now, I have my 97 F150!

 

2000 GMC Sierra Z71
6" Superlift - 37" Cooper STT's


After i got over the lifted phase, i got into the now 2013 F150 FX2 i still own - 140k miles

 

My oldest brother got me started with cars. He had a couple 's GTO's at the time. My first car was a 1970 Mustang Coupe that I modified with slotted mag wheels, RWL tires, air shocks, & glass pack mufflers. Several Mustang's, a few Ranger 4x4's, & a Explorer Sport later & here I am with my 2005 F150 2WD Regular Cab.
