My mom figured something out about me a while back and its stuck pretty well since. I grew up playing with legos. I had duplos when I was a toddler and moved up to the little pieces before I got to elementary school. I went through it all; space, city, technic.. I even had the 3500 piece technic space shuttle with lights, motorized bay doors, the works. As if its not painfully obvious, Im pretty into cars and not just for the aesthetics or that magical "cool" factor. Ive cluttered up my moms garage time and time again with car parts as my infamous car sat perched on jack stands on her driveway. To her, this was just plain annoying until she figured it all out. Working on my car (as well as my friends' cars) is just an extension of that childhood love of building things with legos. Id never really put the two together, but she finally made the connection late last year when I was going through axles like a fat kid goes through french fries. The fact that I still tinker around with legos (I still have two giant tubs full of em under my bed at her house) probably set her off.
Id put money down that Im not the only one like this. Who else moved from legos to car parts?
