I was around Porsches all my life 'cause Dad opened and ran the dealership here in Tulsa. That's why we were friends with Peter Gregg - He and his wife ran the Brumos dealership in Florida. So I've been around the Beamers too - Porsche and BMW are sort of like stepchildren, as are Audi's and Volkswagons.

I got on an American V8 kick because one of my life-long buddies is an ME that always built hotrods when we were in school. After college he moved towards the exotic, but I moved away from them and back towards the stuff he was building before then. That's why I'm running old school stuff now days.

Kinda funny - When big American cars were in, I was driving foreign sports cars. Now that the little foreign cars are in, I prefer the 500HP big iron, kicking and bucking. I just like having some variety, I suppose.
