Hello Buck and welcome to CB+. Like you, I lost all my comics in the '60's when my parents thought that I should grow up and study. You've heard it before, "comics are for kids". Fortunately I was able to start collecting again after I got married. An understanding wife is a great asset to a comic collector.
Me, I don't enjoy car comics, nor am I overly fond of cars but there is an awful lot of stuff on here to discover and read. Enjoy yourself.
