Graham Rahal
INDYCAR Driver
From the time I was cognizant of life in general, cars were always my thing. There was nothing else that really interested me in life.
As a kid, I remember dad always had one or two cool cars. I still remember back in 1995 when Ferrari first came out with the F355—it was bright yellow. To me, I grew up idolizing that yellow 355. That was like my dream.
I remember growing up, my dad had a 1964 MINI Cooper. I used to sit in the garage as a 6-year-old and jam through the gears even though I wasn’t doing anything. To me, that was just the coolest thing ever. Now, I have a ’64 myself. Whether it’s a Ferrari or a $2,000 MINI Cooper doesn’t really matter.
The experience, the joy, the passion that cars always brought me in my life was huge.
