Tuneage Is A Requirement On The Highway…

• What was your first car? I learned to drive in a pale yellow ‘79 Subaru 4WD wagon. No A/C, 4 speed stick, pure plastic interior, and it could go most anywhere.
  
• Any significant memories w/that car? That Subaru only got stuck twice the entire time we owned it. The first time Mom drove 30 miles home from work during a freak April snow storm over unplowed roads. Picked up 3 stranded coworkers in a 4x4 truck that had gotten stuck along the way. A half mile from our house she found the first plowed road - the dirt road our house was on! She got the car hung up on the drift the plow had piled up. The second time was when I was doing a 3 point turn on a narrow dirt road. I drove part way up on an embankment on one side of the road then managed to back the rear wheels off the road on the other side right where a culvert went under the road. Car stopped on its frame with the rear wheels hanging in the air. My buddy & I picked up the rear corners while his girlfriend drove it out. No worries.
  
• What’s parked in your driveway now? Right now I’m driving a 1998 Fort Taurus. I had to turn in my company car when I left my job to start my own business at the first of the year so I found a good deal on an inexpensive, low mileage car and paid cash for it. Since my commute is literally 50 feet across my house right now I don’t put all that many miles on it.
  
• Does your car reflect your personality? Only in so far as it reflects my determination to make wise financial decisions to see my business grow successfully.
  
• Favorite vehicle(s)? A Mercedes E350 or SLK 350
  
• Favorite vehicle…if money were no object? Oh, it would have to be the Mercedes SLR. Definitely.
  
• Vanity Plates? Not in years. When I was young & dumb I had plates that said “AMOK”. Of course I was mostly driving Mustang GT’s & Corvettes or motorcycles back then.
  
• Must have car gadget? Some way to connect the iPod with the stereo. Tuneage is a requirement on the highway.
  
• Favorite driving tunes? 80’s Rock, especially early U2.
  
• Favorite Hollywood movie car? Though it’s not a car I always thought the Harley Fatboy in Terminator 2 was totally cool. I kind of like Michael Weston’s old Dodge Charger in Burn Notice now that it’s been fixed up, ‘course that’s a TV car. If it had to be a movie car, the Ferrari 550 Maranello that Nicolas Cage drove in Family Man was off the charts.

There you go Eric!

Enjoy!
