Introducing Erik Giberti; Family man, gadget geek, environmentalist, gear head and a fan of good beer living and working in Minnesota.

What was your first car?

• Burgundy 1988 Plymouth Horizon (aka Dodge Omni)

Any significant memories w/that car?

• I drove it for a whopping 70 miles before it gave up the ghost. What do you expect from a free car. I traded it to someone else for a CD-ROM drive.

What’s parked in your driveway now?

• 2000 Jeep Wrangler & 2002 Toyota Sienna.

Does your car reflect your personality?

• Sometimes, don’t we all wear many hats? The Jeep is great fun in the summer and rock crawling is a blast, however, sucks at carrying the kids. Enter the Sienna which, as minivans go, is great on gas and moves us all around sufficiently well. Waiting for the kids to get out of car-seats before moving to a European sedan.

Favorite vehicle(s)?

• Ferrari’s and Aston Martins especially from the 50’s and ‘60’s. They have lines that evoke emotion in a way many modern cars can’t.

Favorite vehicle…if money were no object?

• With so many to choose from, I’ll take one of each ;)

Vanity Plates?

• Not now, but who wants to draw attention to a minivan?

Must have car gadget?

• EZ-Pass.

Favorite driving tunes?

• Honda S2000 exhaust at about 8 1/2 thousand RPM, VTEC goodness.

Favorite Hollywood movie car?

• Eleanor from the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds or a mini from the original Italian Job.
