I remember in third grade, I asked my mom, 'How does an engine work?' So my mom bought me a book.
I don't really know much about cars.
What I wanted to do was build an automobile.
I don't know how to drive a car.
I was brought up in a car family, my dad loved cars and I was taught the art of making an Austin 7 operate.

I love working on cars.
