I acquired my first true love, a 1991 Dodge Stealth RT Turbo, about 6 months ago. When I purchased it I was fulfilling a 17 year old dream, because I fell in love with the first one I saw (I was 13). That moment literally changed my life, because from that sighting bloomed a passion for automobiles that directly influenced my decision to become a mechanical engineer.
We've done some tinkering with it since I purchased it (mostly maintenance) and tonight we took it to the local 1/4 mile track. It ran a new best of 13.8 sec @ 99 mph. Not too shabby for a 17 year-old car.

I'm so proud I feel like this right now:

Of course we have bigger plans for it, and it will be much faster soon.
Man, it's just so sexy sitting there in my garage.
