I’m not a teen anymore, but I am definitely into cars. At the moment, I’m trying to turbocharge a Dodge Dart and build a race car out of a clapped out Mercury Capri. Let me see if I can explain why I’m crazy about cars. Part of it is that I’m sort of the kid who never outgrew taking things apart. Before I got my hands on a car of my own, I was disassembling things like clocks and joysticks. I’m interested in all kinds of machinery and figuring out how they work – and how to make them work better. Then there’s the lure of the open road. Acres of open asphault before me, the freedom to set out for wherever I want to be. And how to get there can be as important as the destination. That’s probably a holdover from the family vacations when I was little where my family would drive every time we went on vacation – even if the trip was from Georgia to Wyoming. And then there’s the addiction to speed and the challenge of competition. Nailing the gas pedal and being pinned back in the seat, or the G-forces of screaming around a corner with the tires close to their limit of adhesion. And the challenge of beating another driver – or one’s own best time in the quarter mile.
