   I started out watching my dad work on cars in his Texaco station work   
   bay, after school and weekends. School was only two blocks away.   
      
   He sold that station and went into partnership with another guy, who had a   
   DX station, downtown. So, the next place closer to home was at another   
   Texaco station where a classmate worked part time. They had a 3 stall   
   garage behind the station, where the owners (partners) worked on cars and   
   they had a person run the station gas pumps, lube bay and when my   
   classmate was working, the wash bay. That place became the place for young   
   hot-rodders to hang out and I was the youngest among them at 13yo.

   I watch that and the 4 - 30 minute 'Power Block' shows on Saturday and   
   Sunday (starts at 8am CST) broadcast on the Spike TV channel. I especially   
   like the 'Trucks' show, as they're usually digging into a suspension or   
   drivetrain repair or upgrade.
