Cars. Toluene. Nitromethane. TURBOCHARGERS! V8 engines, straight 6's, big boost 4-cylinders. Sternum-crushing torque. Tires measuring 255mm and up. REAR WHEEL DRIVE! Hazardously loud exhaust on V8's and straight 6's.Weight lifting. It's one of the most addicting things in the world.
Hans Hermann, leader of the BMW F1 program in the 80's, who forced 1400hp+ out of turbocharged M10-series 1.5L inline-4 engines....
Ryan Woon and his crew for making this ridiculously fast Supra . The video shows an 8.99, but they are currently posting 8.62 with a factory 6-speed tranny and diff without nitrous, weighing in around 3550lbs with 1359 horsepower to the rear wheels. The screaming engine and popping noises prior to launch are from Woon's turbo anti-lag system. It makes me giddy.

Lou Ferrigno
Lots of classic rock and some modern rock. Old Metallica and Pantera, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Audioslave, Alice in Chains, Queens of the Stone Age, Tiger Army... all enjoyable. My favorite band is probably Megadeth's old style.. the Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction albums are my two favorites from them. I like almost anything with a good guitarist.
Lots of stuff with a good story / moral, gory movies, and of course comedies are always good. On top of that, I like to download car videos - episodes of reviews, drifting clips, and race clips.
Hardly watch TV, but I like watching: mature cartoons (not porn, stuff like Simpsons and Family Guy), Top Gear, custom vehicle shows, and the news when it doesn't piss me off
I like to look at pictures.
My dad, and friends from the USMC
They've all had a positive impact in my life
