Well, I’ve enjoyed cars since I can remember. People ask me, “When did you get involved
with cars?” Well, I remember going to a family reunion on my grandfather’s homestead
farm and everybody else was playing in the sandbox and and playing with the animals and
stuff. I went to the car. And I sat in my uncle’s car. It was a stick shift. Of course,
