    Alright, so you might play BeamNG because of a few reasons
    1. Destruction
    2. Your favorite yt plays it and your a stuck up fanboy
    or
    3. You love CARS

    And thats what this threads about! I just wanna hear about how yall started loving cars!

    For me I was about 3 or 4 years old when my mom came back with a hotwheel car and that like legit how it all started and to this day (im 14 years old) i still collect hotwheels. My collection rounds up to around 3,000 including 1 bugatti and other limited editions.

    When I played Mafia 2 for the first time I fell in love with the 1950s rockabilly culture; I loved those stylish 1940s and 50's cars and I started exploring the car scene from there. I eventually got into hot rods and similar cars, and since then I haven't stopped learning about cars and car culture :)

    Ever since I was a little boy, I liked seeing cars drive on the road when I was sitting in the family car. One time I thought: "Why do cars have wheels?" Now I never wonder about that again since I'm now grown up.

    It all started when I first saw a HUMMER H1 drive through a swimming pool with a deep water snorkel that allowed it to go through the 5 ft deep section of the pool. After that I was hooked and started a life long quest to acquire one of those beasts. This was in 1996, so it's been a while.

    I wouldn't say that... I was only 3 at the time, but it made a lasting impression.

    My grandfather worked for Ford in the 50's and 60's (mostly the edsel,) so I got a lot of the car stuff passed down. My dad used to restore classic cars, he owned a '65 T-Bird, and I hope to maybe do the same this summer, depending on circumstances. I've been interested in cars ever since I was 2 years old.

    I started playing racing games when I was like 3 or 4 years old. Also I cant wait anymore to get my drivers license which also multiplies this "I love cars" effect by alot
    But the main reason is gaming

    I started to learn when I was 6-ish, when I was 2 I'd just say "Daddy's green car" whenever I saw a Volvo 850 (my dad owned a green one of them at the time)

    I remember when I was 3/2. I liked to play old lego batman video games. We got a Odyssey as a surprise. Dad took us down into the garage, and the car was there, with a big bow on it. I still have that bow, hanging in our garage.

    As weird as it might seem, it was that terrible CARS movie by Disney I watched when I was 3 or so. xD

    I watched that move in theaters 5 times when I was 5, and the scene where Lightning fell out of the truck terrified me... That contributed to my obsession, though.

    My mom bought it on DVD and i watched it at least 20 times, haha. And I gotta agree, that scene was pretty terrifying back then.

    Dad:
    1995 Volvo 855
    2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL (may have the trim wrong there)
    2016 Tesla Model S 70D (post-refresh wheels, pre-refresh front end, car delivered March '16)
    Mom:
    2000 Honda Odyssey Touring
    2010 Honda Odyssey EX-L
    Me:
    2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL (hand-me-down)
    2011 Subaru Forester 2.5X Base (current car, 5-speed manual)
