I've always had an affinity and a passion for cars and that whole car culture.

Long before I had money, my passion for cars was there.

But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.

I love cars; I like the idea of manufacturing something, having a product, a hard product to sell and promote, but as time went on, I recognized that car companies are so bureaucratic and so ossified that it would take forever to work your way up. And so I went into consulting.

I ride many different cars. Let's say I would drive 200 different vehicles in a year, so it's rather difficult to say which car or what car I ride. I love cars.

I love working on cars.

Certainly I'm passionate and driven and quite relentless when I want something.

Cars for me are like a piece of art.

I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.

I had the notion that, OK, so now we have all of this wealth, we could buy not only one expensive car, we could buy all of them. As soon as you realize that you could buy all of them, then none of them are particularly interesting or satisfying.
