When her car passion started: "In high school, my dear friend Ethan began driving a 1979 Chevy Caprice and couldn't stop talking about it. And, as all friendships go, we wanted to see precisely how far we could push the envelope. The evolution of our respective cars became bigger, which in our minds translated into better. I now drive `Mary Todd,' a 1979 Lincoln, and it's the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel.''
