“I have always loved cars. When I was three years old, I could recognize every car that drove by.  Gas stations would give free Hot Wheels for a fill up. I still have those hot wheels. My whole life as a child revolved around cars.”

“Over the years, I'd be buying cars. I would buy these cars because I remember them as a kid. I always wanted them. But then it just became a collection of cars.”

“When I blew the engine in my 996, that was really my first time to really dig in and rebuild the car. I learned so much. I loved the decision making. Something didn't fit, what do we do next.”

“We were always just improvising along the way. And I realized that it's that journey of building a car and the relationship you have with your car. That's what really ends up connecting you to the cars. “

“The Porsche...that's like my wife. It's predictable, everything about it is perfect, it gets everything done perfectly. It's beautiful.”

“The Lamborghini....that's my hot Italian mistress. I have a blast with her, but it's going to cost me! I'm a mechanical engineer and it's the feeling, the sounds, combustion, acceleration, G-forces. All of those things just create the sensory overload. It just keeps me coming back.”

“I've been part of forums in the past and I made a lot of good friends through forums and how we help each other and learn from each other. But it always took a little bit of time to establish.”

“But with Avants, it's more real time and it brings back much more of the human to human interaction. What I really enjoy is the diversity of people that are involved. It's things I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise and it just gives me new ideas on how I can bring people together, how businesses can grow and be really part of the community and grow and enrich the community and that's what I'm really enjoying about Avants.”
