Wow! Just as a second fun car I would go with a new beetle and “pimp it” all customized. I would fiberglass my own kit for it and just have it for fun..I think their cute! As a
totally new car I would have to go with either a Mazda or another Tiburon. (something in my price range…lol)
| What are some of your hobbiest and interests? |
|
Working on my car, roller blading, drawing and tanning at the beach.
| How did you first get involved in the car/Hyundai scene? |
|
I fell into cars when I met my husband. He had a Camaro at the time and we just started fixing it up but got bored with it. When I turned 16 my immediate interest was a car that I could
“fix up!” I started out with a baby blue ’03 Eclipse but hated that it had no power. It was totaled after one month from someone running over the middle line and throwing me off the road.
As soon as the insurance check came in I went and paid off my white Tiburon and painted it pink!
| Is it difficult and if so, how do you handle being in a male dominated sport? |
|
No not difficult at all! Most guys are amazed when they see me at shows polishing my rims AND looking better than theirs…lol
| What percentage of Import models do you think actually know how to tune cars? |
|
Umm…I don’t really know. I would hope at least half but who knows!
| Should some of the big car shows (HIN, NOPI, etc) have a Female Tuner class? |
|
Of course! Some do at least. I kind of like entering with the guys though b/c some don’t think I can show’em up and I usually can!
| Any final thoughts, comments, or thanks? |
