My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red like the one in 'The Blues Brothers.' I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it which broke my heart!
I listen to KCRW in the car and Pandora radio which I stream through the stereo from my iPhone. I've been listening to everything from Caribou to Conway Twitty. If I'm going on a longer car ride I'll download some podcasts.
I used to have this Mercedes a dark blue 450SLC which was the most beautiful car. I'd like to have another unusual beautiful car.
A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.
To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there's a mix of excitement and fear. If it's a wet track then it's worse as you're not in control most of the time which is the thing all drivers fear the most.
When you're in a car which can win every race or fight for a win every race that is pressure.
When you read about a car crash in which two or three youngsters are killed do you pause to dwell on the amount of love and treasure and patience parents poured into bodies no longer suitable for open caskets?
I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment which I hate to do but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.
I like structure - like driving: go past the school on the street stay on the right side no hitting the car go in right you'll see a big church stop and take a left and you'll have it. By doing this I'm giving a structure of life a path of light and showing what happens between me and me which is something very beautiful.
Austin sounds a little bit like Aston Martin which is the type of car James Bond would drive.
Okay let's talk about cartoon labels for half a second - some people think anything with a dog or a car or a colorful alien is garbage which is not true. Look at Big Moose Red. It's like a $6 wine with a cheesy label and it's actually a solid wine.
I enjoy racing historic motorcars from the '50s and '60s. The seed of my interest was planted when I was about 12 years old and took over my mother's Morris Minor. I drove it around my father's farm. But my favorite car is still a McLaren F1 which I have had for 10 years.
The lead car is unique except for the one behind it which is identical.
We have some worse scenarios for which we need to prepare as companies. For the moment we're planning for the worst and the worst is now and the car market is down more than 15 percent in France. There is so much uncertainty.
There's a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you're self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left you can veer off there which isn't so easy in a car and you can't cover as much ground walking.
It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.
People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.
I know a lot about cars man. I can look at any car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.
But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs I've been racing cars a little bit which has been fun.
The worst disease which can afflict business executives in their work is not as popularly supposed alcoholism it's egotism.
After adding trillions to the debt on big-government policies most Americans didn't ask for and which we couldn't afford Democratic leaders say they need more money which they intend to take from small business even though small businesses create the majority of new jobs.
How many deaf people do you know in real life? Unless they live in a cave or are 14 which seems to be true for most people in this business what could I possibly tell them that they don't already know?
I got to work with one of my heroes Johnny Depp and to see how he goes about business which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career.
If you create something that is asking for people to respond as they're going to respond you have to allow them to respond as they're going to respond. Some of the people are going to be uninterested and some people are going to be mad for some reason which is their business. That's just the way the world is.
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns the rattle of musketry the strange mournful mutter of the battlefield.
