Experience
As a child, Stephen always had an eye for all things automotive, ever since his first Matchbox car. After helping his best friend fix up a 1974 Camaro project car as a teen, he was hooked. From the moment he was able to afford something sporty, he dug deep and made the payments on unique models like 1980s Firebird hoopties and 911s. As an automotive enthusiast, he enjoys attending F1 races, and plans to see the Monza circuit next. Stephen brings his expert eye on all things cars to Jalopnik as a news writer.
