All forms of motoracing attract me. Performance has always been the drive, as well. For me, form follows function. Not to say I haven't had the huge stereo system and I had some of those blue led wiper fluid squirters once. Oh, my buddy and I used a sock for an air intake filter on his Festiva once. lol
The biggest difference being, now, I have a wealth of information and others experiences to build off of, ie; the internet, forums, etc. I had none of these things growing up. Maybe, I'd have been more of "ricer" if I were younger. I think most people start off a bit "ricer" and generally mature into something else. That's why I try not to dog people for their personal choices, etc.
