VR: So how did you first come to cars? I assume it was probably at a fairly young age?<\/strong><\/p>\n

KB: It was at a fairly young age. Slot cars were the beginning of this, but I grew up in Manhattan so I envied kids in more suburban or rural environs who could actually fiddle around with the cars of their parents. I didn\u2019t have much opportunity for that because everything was a yellow taxi in my NYC world. But, as a kid, I remember building slot cars. Buying Masonite, taking a router and making a track with that self-adhered aluminum tape conductor. We lived in this old, old apartment building in the city, with huge rooms and I built this 12-foot x 4-foot slot car track that hinged down from the wall so that my brother and I could sleep in the same room. Not just cars, but machinery, products and how things were made, how they were built and work has always been a focus for me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
