I recall my dad's very first car when we came to Canada was a Toyota Corona liftback Luxury Edition. We had that car for a while and then he bought a Subaru Legacy which I thought was really cool because it was "fast" back in the day and I remember how he would row through the gears and that kind of got me interested in cars because no other kid on the block had a car that was manual.

He sold that and got a bunch of Toyota LE Vans that kept getting stolen over and over until he got sick of it and landed with a few Toyota Cressida's that would end up with two Revscene members (the third one went to a relative.) After that, it was a Toyota Sienna and a Lexus RX300 which he's had for almost a decade now.

Growing up, he never cared too much about cars in general but he was in the automotive industry having seen all kinds of cars. For the most part, he hates cars. For him, it was always about reliability and keeping the lowest cost of ownership and only ever saw cars as a means of transportation, so no cool stories on his part.

I recall the most memorable part of growing up was my dad taking us up to Grouse Mountain where there was some kind of show and shine for Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, Alfa Romeos, and oddly enough, old school American classics. I remember seeing the Guards Red Porsche 911 Turbo and the rest is history.
