It's true about kids my age knowing nothing about cars. I've always had an interest since I got my first car at 10 (a 1981 toyota celica). When I got it, it didnt run, but my dad and I took off all the smog which got it running and I turned it into a go-cart taking off everthing above the frame exept the seats leaving a unibody and motor. This was one heck of an off roader with a pair of Wrangler studded snow tires on the back. With this combo I beat a 4x4 Tacker in a pasture race with over 2 feet of pure mud.
