| What kind of music do you listen to? |
|
Mostly to top 40 hits and rap, but I also listen to a little bit of everything. Just no opera or classical.
| What would be your dream job? |
|
To win the lotto and be able to build hot rods from the ground up like Boyd Coddington.
I have a couple. I really want to have a Boydster and a Lambo. Oh, I also want a Bentley! (Laughing)
| What's the dumbest thing anyone has ever asked you? |
|
Hmmmm... What kind of Honda is that?? What kind of Mustang is that?? Both were referring to the Tib!
| Where do you see yourself in the future? |
|
I would have to say right where I am. I am happy with my life.
| What are some of your hobbiest and interests? |
|
I like to work on cars and be in the garage with hubby and the boys, but also like to take road trips to unknown places. I have a dream to build my very own hot rod. I like to have a good time no matter what situation I am in.
| What are some of your turn ons? |
|
My husband, strippers, Money, power, and cars! (Laughing)
Lack of money, power and cars! (Laughing) Oh guys with bad BO, and who pretend that they are something they aren't.
| How did you first get involved in the Hyundai scene? |
|
It's actually kind of a funny story. We were looking to buy a new car for me and I wanted one that was brand new and not used. Hubby (187sks on the forum) convinced me that we needed to test drive a Hyundai Accent. I threw a fit because I didn't want a crap car, but we went anyway. I fell in love and had to have one. I wanted the GT package because it looked nicer than just a regular one. Then I saw a Tib and wanted one of them for a long time and we got a smoking deal on ours. We started to hang out with more and more Hyundai people and added a few Kia and Scion guys as well.
| Is it difficult and if so, how do you handle being in a male dominated sport? |
|
I am just like one of the guys so its easy for me to fit in. I can hold a conversation about cars no prob. I just can't talk stats because I can never remember and get things mixed up.
| What percentage of Import models do you think actually know how to tune cars? |
|
Very few. They mostly want to have the guys look at them and pay attention to them. They are all about being an attention whore. (laughing)
| Should some of the big car shows (HIN, NOPI, etc) have a Female Tuner class? |
|
I think that if you are going to play with the big dawgs you should be able to hold your own and there shouldn't be a special class. There shouldn't be any special treatment. With as little females who actually turn out it wouldn't be fair to all the guys.
| Any final thoughts, comments, or thanks? |
|
Thanks to Hyundai Aftermarket.org and extra pecial thanks to my husband for putting up with me! Life is too short to worry about tomorrow, live life for today!
