2. Autoweek, mainly Dutch Mandel and Kevin Wilson
3. Caroll Shelby

Mine are pretty weak.

1. Speed Vision(now it's called something else)
2. Just living life in this day and age, looking around for car stuff that most people pass over. I've always loved cars. I remember wanting to drive when I was like 6 or seven, watching my dad work the gears and such in our old Pontiac Le Mans.
3. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 :mrgreen:

I can't really remember, I was too young. Perhaps cars I saw on the road, research for bying a new car, magazines I've read, games I've played... lots of stuff.
