There are many reasons why guys love cars. And the story behind Chris Young's desire to have an awesome muscle car was something that will strike a chord with a lot of guys: Bonding time with dad.

“My first car — when I was in high school — was a twice-wrecked 1989 Chevy Camaro,” Young told me when he was in Chicago earlier this month. “I wanted that particular model because it was boxy, but I only had so much to spend on it.”

“It was two different colors of white, and then it had one electric blue right front fender. But my dad and I went and found a parts car that had a perfect body — but no engine and no transmission — for about $300,” he said.

Chris, we know exactly what you mean. And when you've spend time and hard earned money on a fixer-upper car in your high school hay day, you have a whole new appreciation for the new car you have as an adult.
