- My first track day experience as a ride-along. I caught a ride with a 80's 911 Targa. I had never had a bigger grin on my face strapped into the 5 point listening to the sound of that flat 6 just screaming down the straight of Summit. That car has a unique place in my heart and would love to own one in the future.
- Riding Chris's R6 at the car show for all of 20 minutes. I remember merging onto 81N (the big long merge that goes under the ISAT bridge) and just twisting the throttle. I had never had a more exhilarating few brief seconds.
- Learning to drive stick with my Dad. He had a 89 Isuzu trooper. I remember having my learner's and we spent about an hour in a local community college parking lot. Afterwards he was like "Drive me home" knowing full well the whole way home was nothing but stop-lights on inclines.
-My first experience riding anything on 2wheels. A family friend of ours owned a several acre farm and a Yamaha 250 and 125 dirt bike. I learned to ride that 125 and spent all day riding trails with the guy who was on the 250. At the end of the day, he let me ride around without him. I will never forget the feeling of freedom and happiness of steering that dirtbike wherever I wanted to go racing through the trails. That single experience has fostered my love for bikes.
- Any vehicle/motorcycle I took up 33W. Each experience now matter how fast/slow was a joy.
