What are some of your hobbiest and interests?
|
|
I love to travel! There’s nothing like visiting a new city and site seeing. I also enjoy coffee, computers, and
occasionally
reading a good book.
|
How did you first get involved in the car/Hyundai scene?
|
|
In early 2002, I was looking to purchase a 98-99 Eclipse GST or GSX 5-speed that was in good condition. Very difficult car to find as all the ones that I would find were obviously
beat
on, and those that weren’t were automatics. Well, I went to a Hyundai dealership that had one to look at, and when I noticed the new Tiburon in the front of the lot, I was
hooked!!!
|
Is it difficult and if so, how do you handle being in a male dominated sport?
|
|
It was never difficult for me, because my father sparked my interest as a child and then my high school boyfriend
would live
in his garage, so therefore, I lived in it with him. I always enjoyed watching and learning.
|
What percentage of Import models do you think actually know how to tune cars?
|
|
I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt and say at least 30%, but I have no clue really.
|
Should some of the big car shows (HIN, NOPI, etc) have a Female Tuner class?
|
|
Sure! They should realize that the female market is rising rapidly in the import scene.
|
Any final thoughts, comments, or thanks?
|
|
I’d like to thank the readers for their time and consideration, as well as Hyundai Aftermarket.org…the best Hyundai site out there. This is a fine opportunity. Drive Safe!
