VR: Mike, how did first come to be bitten by the car bug?<\/p>\n

MR: When I was a baby maybe two years old, three years old, I tried to have a tootsie toy of every car there was. That\u2019s what started my collection of cars and things like that. And from that point on, they were just always a fascination. We were not on the very wealthiest side of the world at that particular point and my father would only get a car maybe once or twice a year and that was mainly for a business purpose. We didn\u2019t really have any vehicles in the family at that point. We lived in Chicago, we had a little candy store and that\u2019s where I worked behind the counter starting at the age of five, waiting on trade and things like that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
