My dad always wanted to be an airline pilot growing up, started taking lessons but ran out of money. He became an engineer instead.

Same here but I never took the first step, never had the money.

But I was able to procure a simulator app called "X-Plane" which is the same app used in our local flying schools and a well known aircraft company called Scaled Composites. I actually learned to operate the radios, navigation, autopilot, make "instrument" pattern flying and landing in near zero visibility in the simulator. I practically memorized the training manual that came with the sim.

The hardest part was learning to fly a helicopter in that sim. Took me three weeks before I could hover an R22 without accident! But after that, everything was easy.

My Mom when she was around my age or a little younger also had a GTO!

I love Dodges, they're probably my favorite truck.

My Dad's favorite car though and he had always wanted one was a 1932 Cord:

Also for some reason for a long time I really liked Ford Escorts lol



and I went through a LONG obession over wanting a Hummer H2


and also a Jeep:



------------------
My Dad though for a really long time worked with a train company so I grew up hearing a lot about trains, being around them having pictures and posters of them. I think we even have a train set my Dad got one year but never put it together. lol



I like the modern trains they have now that look very closely to bullets lol but I loveee the old steam trains.

Never? You really should - it's great.

I've been on planes since i was little, still fly reasonably often and it never gets old.

Nope, but I won't say I will never in the future get on a plane. Stranger things have happened. lol But I do love road tripping.. in the car. Maybe it's the false sense of security, maybe it's just I love scenery..
