  • Erik's obsession with cars started with a ride home from the hospital in a classic Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL moments after birth.
  • He can't seem to say no to the opportunity to review and experience a new drive, from clumsily flogging a Corvette ZR1 around the track to blasting around Austin on electric motorcycles and beyond.
  • Ever the impractical car guy, his first big purchase after returning from combat service was a project 1967 Chevrolet Camaro.
