We come across some of the most interesting people in the country through our site, and while we’re out at events. It seems like everyone has a story to tell about a car they love, one that got away, something crazy that happened in their car, or something bizarre they saw at an event — and these are stories people outside of show-goers don’t get to hear a lot. So what we want to do is share your story on our site.

Every month, we’re going to pick a topic that we want you to write in about. Give us your story with some pictures to share, and *we might put it on our site. This is your chance to share with our readers, as well as your friends and family, about your favorite car experiences and memories. You can show off your builds and restorations, or talk about a track day you’ll never forget.

For the month of June, through the end of July, our question to the readers is:

“Why did you buy your first project/street car?”

Tell us:

What inspired you to bring home your very first performance vehicle?

How did you find it?

What dreams did you have for this car?

How did it all turn out?

Was it everything you expected?

…and anything else you want to share!

Please send your submissions to our Digital Editor at [email protected] before July.
