Twitter is endlessly hilarious and horrible, but every now and then it can be fun and thought provoking. In video-game Twitter, the hashtag #GameStruck4 was this past week. It essentially asked users to list the four video games that were the most influential on their lives, or on their hobby in general.
(If you’re curious, my answer would be Mega Man 2, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo 2 and Final Fantasy 7. I know, I’m not very original!)
Anyway, this is a question that translates easily into other interest groups, including cars, so I figured it would be fun to use it for us. What are the four cars that inspired you the most, or had the biggest impact on you as an enthusiast?
For me, it’s a lot harder to pick four cars than it is to pick four games. But I’d probably go with the E30 BMW 3 Series, which I recently owned and regularly consider owning again; the Subaru WRX, a huge obsession when I was a budding teenage car enthusiast and something I’d own later in life; the Mazda Miata, which my father owned for a few years and which has provided the car community and grassroots racers with endless fun; and the Citroën SM, which represents everything I love about weird, insane and delightful cars.
That’s not a very original list either! Shit.
What’s your #CarStruck4? Maybe you can do better than I did.
