What was your first car?

• 1968 Mustang notchback 1976 Monte Carlo blue and white interior. Stripped and repainted half ass restore! Looked cool though.

Any significant memories w/that car?

• Yes, first accident, first date, first ….oh you get the idea! Followed by best car ever 1970 400 TransAm with Ram Air engine and 4 speed manual. I used to take my younger brother to hockey in the car great fun.

What’s parked in your driveway now?

• 2002 BMW M5, 2005 Volvo XC90, 2001 BMW 530i sport and 2003 Audi Allroad. (Hey, I am a dealer and can’t say no). Just sold my Cobra 427 replica from Classic Roadsters, the guy who built the car put a 454 LS5 (550bhp) with a muncie M22 and curries load sensing rear. My son was the primary reason I got rid of it, it was wayyyy too fast at only 2350lbs.

Favorite vehicle(s)?

• 289 Cobra FIA.
