I’d say go to car meets and look at car posts online. finding a car you can obsess over makes it VERY easy. for me i got into cars after rewatching F&F Tokyo Drift, replaying NFS HP2010 & Undercover and going to meets with a friend in high school. What made it easy to want to learn though was becoming obsessed with the Nissan RPS13 240sx
Absolutely, it’s not something that you’ll learn all the intricacies and technical info overnight so don’t be discouraged. I hung out at a classic car club garage for years where I grew up to try and learn more. Best tool is just to find friends who like it and hang out with them. If they’ve got a car they need help with offer a hand.
