I am a little late to the party. The blogging party, that is. When I first heard of the term “blogging”, I simply didn’t like the word itself, I thought it sounded silly. So I never really looked much into it. Too bad for me, because it is the perfect platform for sharing what I am passionate about.
I’ll be right up front when I say that I am a car fanatic. Always have been. From as far back as I can remember. So a good portion of what I will write about will be car-related, however I do not wish to limit myself, as I feel I have a lot more in me that I would love to share. So I will write about whatever inspires me.
In the car world, I feel I have a fairly unique perspective. I have been reading car magazines going as far back as the mid ’80s – Road & Track, Car and Driver, and Motor Trend being my favorites. I was able to recite horsepower figures, zero to sixty times, engine displacements and configurations, prices, etc. But so what? Many car enthusiasts do exactly the same. I used to hound the local exotic car dealers, hoping to collect some cool brochures and get some nice pictures. Again, so what? What is so unique about me?
I worked at an authorized Ferrari dealership for 12 years. And then an Aston Martin dealership after that. I have had the opportunity to drive so many of the cars I have dreamed about, the cars that so many enthusiasts just hope to get to see in person. Not only drive on public roads, but on the track. The resume of cars I have gotten to drive is quite extensive, which I will share as I start to develop this site.
I like to believe that I am able to put words together in an interesting way. Interesting enough for you to want to read. My writing style is that of as if you were sitting in front of me. I have had many letters published to the editors of the aforementioned car magazines, and can be quite opinionated. I also like to add a dash of cleverness, as I hope I invoke a smile while you are reading my blog.
I really hope you enjoy visiting my blog, and truly hope that you are compelled to come back!
