I can totally relate. Cars, driving, and motorsports, are among my special interests and my superpowers. My involvement with cars has helped me in ways I can't even express.

I liked riding go karts at the amusement parks and special go kart only places though when I got one when I was little it was too loud for me to tears and my dad got angry about it.
