If you’re anything like us—and I think you are—you’d probably read more... if the books were filled with cars: M3s , Lotus Exiges , Corvettes, and Porsches and the kinds of stuff that fills our garages. We do talk about the book, of course, but we cover a lot of other stuff, too. Track days, tuning, and the power of authenticity. This is a fun one...Time Attack is a good read... And Steve’s a nice guy. You’ll enjoy the conversation.
