21st Century Performance

I was 13 years old when I bought my first car, a '66 Chevelle SS. I saved up $2,500, and my dad helped me bring it back to life in our driveway.

Looking back, I had no idea that one project car would turn into a lifelong passion and a career.

Just moving some cars in and out of the warehouse today. It's a mix of personal cars, customer builds, and cars for sale. Every car has a story, and every one represents years of hard work, memories, and late nights in the garage.

It's pretty incredible to think it all started with that one Chevelle.

What was the first car that got you hooked? Let me know in the comments.

This unused BFGoodrich Space Saver spare tire from a 1971 Pontiac Firebird had been folded up for more than 50 years.

Designed to save trunk space, these inflatable spare tires were considered advanced technology when they were introduced.

Would you trust it on a long road trip?
