2013 Fall Newsletter

amazing trip and I hope to go back someday. What are your hobbies? I have been a bona fide car nut all my life; I was probably checking out cars on the way home from the hospital after being born. I am on my 19 th car now, although I have only recently started to in- dulge in my true automotive passion of classic cars. Everybody likes classic muscle cars it seems, and I do too, but I am mainly interested in old luxury cars. To that end, in 2010 I sold my modern Honda and bought an old Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and an old Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. As time goes by, I plan to get older and older cars. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll wind up with a Model T that I have to start with a hand crank. What do you plan to do when you retire? I would love to have my own classic car dealer- ship. I could travel the country, find interesting old cars to buy, put in some minor sweat equity and resell them at my leisure. Sounds like fun! As an IAAO instructor, what is the best piece of advice you can offer to students? Get a copy of the coursework and read through it in advance of the class if you can. Always sit in the front row where it is easy to see and hear, and ask a question as soon as you don’t understand something; don’t wait and let confusion snowball. Most of the classes are the equivalent of a semes- ter of a college-level finance class squeezed into four days with a test on the fifth day. It’s not easy, so you should give yourself every advantage.
