This could have been MY life! I could have been the European Champion; I had it in me. I could feel victory, I could taste it, it was within my grasp. Do you want to know what happened that thwarted my path to world glory? Do you? DO YOU???? My mom made me take down the track every time she vacuumed the living room, and SHE VACUUMED ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! Could I practice, could I hone my skills as a driver when all she cared about was clean house all the time??? The answer is a big fat NO. I'm a broken man now, and yes, I harbor much anger and resentment. I hate myself and I always will.
What my life COULD have been but it wasn't:

My brother is a national slot car champion. I don't know the details, only that he qualified in Florida for the national finals held in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago.

I had slot cars as a kid, they did not move like that though!
