I was always into cars, but it wasn't until F&F that I realized there was a modification scene. I was only 14 when I saw the movie, and I had been dreaming about cars since I was a kid. I remember freeze framing on the black civics they had to see what the bumpers looked like, which got me into modified cars, which eventually got me here. I learned more about wrenching cars that I would have ever imagined on my first car, including building my own turbo kit from scratch - and I wouldn't have done that without seeing the movies. I owe a lot of my interest in car mods to F&F and I'm not too proud to deny it. I had never even heard of a supra or rx7 before the movies came out.
As silly as the movies are, how ricey the cars were, the terrible lines... I still love them all, particularly the first. I was crushed to hear Paul Walker died... he and the F&F movies definitely made an impact on my life, and though I'm almost scared to watch it, I'm really excited for #7.
