Driven by Duane Cotton 112
Can a car inspire and create one's life? Make you seek out employment at 13? Teach you about finance? Connect you to a loved one? Pull you back from nothing? Make you buy a cookie? Duane makes a good case in his book "Driven". From life at 13 to donating his time to Extreme Makeover, now with an unimaginable selfless goal, he at least makes you think twice if a car can. Buy the book at www.duanecotton.com/driven
