>> Being an engineer and having my car I look at cars in general just differently from other people.

I look at everything and I think, "How can I improve this," or "How does this work?

What makes it tick?"

I bought my car while I was in college for 70 bucks, and then as I gained more knowledge in machining I would start making and fabricating my own parts for it.

You get to the top of a run in hill climbing, you're gripping the wheel, white knuckles, and you're like, "I almost killed myself.

Let's go do it again!"

When most people think of engineering they think of the dorky guy, and it's pretty much true.

I mean, but you make it cool because you know what?

I'm the geek that made the Mars Rover, or I'm the geek that made your rollercoaster.

I didn't think that I had the math grades to become an engineer.

You don't have to be a straight A student.

You don't have to be a superstar.

You don't have to be honor roll.

You know, you just really have to want it.
