The man upstairs is pushing the buttons, and if your name happens to be on that button, well, thank you.

Quite honestly, I treat myself with cars I really want to drive, and I have some flexibility to do that.

I love technology - yes, I have fallen in love with older cars, but I'm all for new technology.
