I've never been into car models or diecast cars. When I was a kid it was model airplanes I was into. Balsa and tissue paper flying models.
I was really big into cars as a teen and into my early 20's but never really could afford anything too fast. I did have a 1972 Porsche 914 and 1961 Buick Skylark for awhile. The dream was to do an engine swap on the 914 and upgrade to a 911 race suspension but then priorities changed. My wife and I decided to get out of debt and target 40 for retirement. The project cars were sold off and we started driving a boring 50 mpg TDI wagon and a Prius. I did some suspension work on them but the engines stayed stock. The last 3 cars didn't get any modifications besides some better tires.
My real passion was motorcycles and I had some quick bikes and some bikes with some pretty substantial modifications. That too has passed and my current bikes are stock. (Of course some of that could just be that modern bikes are stupid fast in stock form)
Gas prices haven't affected us much. We drive the Bolt more but that is about it.
