| What a great quote. Words to live by. If you add up all the time you spend going to or coming from somewhere via any mode of transportation, it would probably be several years, at the minimum. I guess I figured that out at a very early age. Of course, when you grow up in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and your dad works for Ford Motor Co., it's in your blood. So why waste that time in a dull set of wheels?
Earliest memories??? Okay... |

| 1) The 1971-1973 Mustangs made a huge impression on me. That extreme fastback and the cool taillights totally rocked. I could name every vehicle on the road at age 3. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 2) Matchbox cars and Hot Wheels. Hundreds and hundreds of them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3) Speed Racer and the Mach 5, Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch, and Speed Buggy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 4) DeTomaso Panteras...
5) Bobby Isaac's #15 Bud Moore 1972 Winston Cup Torino and David Pearson's #21 Wood Bros. Purolator Mercury |

| 6) Watching Evel Knievel bust his ass countless times, then recreating the debacles with my vast assortment of Evel Knievel action figures (including the X-2 Snake River Canyon rocket car). Evel could always count on G.I. Joe, Big Jim, or the 6 Million Dollar Man to get him out of a crack. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Pre-teen Influences??? Hmmm...
1) The General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard. Daisy Duke would influence something else. |
