Toyotas, Scions, Chevrolets.. Oh My!

So I have come to the conclusion that I am obsessed with cars. I'm sure this is not a typical girl interest. I can remember when exactly when this interested was born.

Back in 2007 I started working full time for a lovely NASCAR company. During that time I had just left Victoria's Secret, and was used to being around everything girlie. At first, I really had no desire to learn about Jeff Gordon, Kyle Petty, Monte Carlo Chevrolets, and Ford Mustangs. But, as time progressed, I found that I seemed to absorb all this information about them as if I were a sponge. I soon began to LOVE to learn anything I could about cars. I loved the colors, designs, models, whether or not they were an automatic or a 5 speed.

With this job I was able to see so many different models of not only NASCAR vehicles, but also vintage and sports cars! We used to go to the Rotary Club and see all the beautifully restored cars, sparkling in the light. I loved it! I soon realized that I wanted to drive these beauties too, but there was one problem, the majority of them were 5 speed. So, I decided to take the step, I purchased my very own 5 speed transmission car. I had NO idea how to drive it at the time, but after many trys, I officially learned how to operate a 5 speed transmission vehicle. I was uber stoked! If only my friend would have let me drive his Porsche Boxter....







So there you have it, I should have been a dude.
