I'm 33 was also introduced to packards at a young age. My grandfather worked in a coal mine in western PA and bought and sold cars on the side. -Packards were his favorite make. I still remember riding in his 53 clipper which I later inherited as a basket case rust bucket. Was a great learning tool about cars.
Since the old 53 clipper I've had:
76 dodge dart (225 slant six)
88 Chevy sprint -3cyl autocrosser!
2001 Alero (boring, but nice)
1995 Audi S6 (Turbo 5 cyl, awesome car)
1993 Mazda 323 (cheap, but reliable)
2003 Renault Clio (1.5 diesel- great fuel economy, but slow)
2009 BMW Z40 (hard to keep clean)

-The 53 Clpper I have had since 1995. I work on software for the automotive business. Instead of turning wrenches, I plug in a computer to fix things. Currently in automatic transmission control. Used to be in abs brakes/stability control and also a little bit of hybrid experience.
-Still playing with cars as much as posible
