Questions to the owner:
Q: Congratulations for winning Ride of the Month! Tell us about how you acquired this car?
A: Thanks, My wife found this car behind a shop covered in overgrown weeds. She brought it home, thought it was cute,(it was silver and purple)and thought it would be a good small car for her to drive. It had sat behind that shop for over three years, it was a major POS. While on my way to my shop, chunks of rubber were flying out of the tires and the whole car was just a handful. So I took it from her from there, gave her a much safer car, restored it first, then modded the shizzle out of it. Now, she won't drive it anymore. It's too scary.
Q: How did you first become interested in modified cars? Have you had any previously?
A: I've done Hot Rods since I was young and I've always enjoyed cars.
Q: Whats the biggest reason you chose a rotary powered car to modify?
A: I wanted to do something I hadn't done before. I almost bought a car just like this one in '85, but changed my mind at the last minute. Now, I wished even more I hadn't changed my mind.
Q: Is this car your daily driver? Do you participate in any form of racing? (Drag, Auto-X, etc)
A: It used to be, but not anymore. Only racing this car see's is an occasional run when some feels froggy.
Q: What do you enjoy most about your car?
A: The way this simply feels and handles. I have Sparco Milano seats that are really comfortable and hold me in place regardless of a winding road or not. I can ride for days in this car and not be tired. And the tunes sound clear as crystal. All Infinity Kappa speaker system. All 15 of them.
Q: Do you have any future plans for the car, or any car?
A: Always do.
Q: Any other hobbies besides cars?
A: Yeah, but I don't have much time to do much of them.
Q: Anyone you'd like to thank?
A: First and foremost, GOD, my wife and family, friends, and all those who voted for me.
