Q: Are Mustangs your favorite car?
Ans: One of my many favorites… I love all the classics. They come from a different era of style and design that many authors, film makers and artists have romanticized over the years in film, text and music… Personally, I enjoy the sheer power of the true muscle car.

Q: Do you have a pilot’s license?
Ans: Does an expired learners permit count? I do love to go up in just about anything.
