About me and my passion for cars

About Me:
I'm Martin and I'm 18 years old, I was born in Madrid, Spain and I'm only legally Spanish, otherwise I was raised in St.Petersburg, Florida and my family is Polish. I'm just your average lower middle class 18 year old. Though I can suprise many adults with how much I know about the real world and whatnot. I don't really think or act like an 18 year old, more like a 28 year old lol. I finished high school and now will be going to college and hopefully find what career path I want to take.

About my passion for cars:
This is a long one... It started from me being very little about 2 when I was learning things like colors, the alphabet, and car names themselves off of cars. First off I leared the alphabet and how to read off of license plates when I was 2-3, I also learned colors from the many colors cars came in, I learned to tell left from right from which side the steering wheel is on, and I leared car names from the symbols and could name them all when I was 2. Europe also have a bigger variety of brands then here in the US so that was something cool about me.

Lets see first time I drove was on my moms lap when I was 3 in quiet streets, then when I was 7 I could sit in my moms lap and drive home from school, then I was 10 when I drove a car for the first time being in the drivers seat in a parking lot. When I was 13 I drove a stick and first time on city streets when I went on vacation to Poland. This was thanks to my Grandfather being a former driver instructor and his friend did a favor by letting me drive around the city, I was kind of bad at stick though lol. Then when I turned 15 I got my permit and could legally drive and drove a lot!! At 16 I worked enough to finally get my first car and after waiting for the stupid year requirement to have a permit. When I bought my 3rd car as I sold each one for more before I finally was financially able to mod my car and have been going nuts with that ever since. I spend way too much time on LHforums.net and yea lol.

My first car

A 1994 Dodge Intrepid, I bought it for $1500 and it had faded blue paint which was peeling on the trunk, and had a few other problems. Over time I fixed it up and sold it for more after 9 months of having it. I later bought an Intrepid SE which I later sold for a Concorde.

Car I wish I still had

Every car I had, along with money to make those cars as unique as my Concorde!

My dream car

Im not one of those people who go crazy for ferrari's and all. If I was rich I'd probably have multiple cars probably the most expensive being a new Cadillac Escalade, otherwise there would be different types of cars I'd have.
