'This job is a natural progression, coming up as a technician. I get to 'break the car' in a way, just for the sake of understanding why it does things a certain way. … I love the cars, gosh, some of these cars are just drop dead gorgeous, all of them are unique and beautiful in their own way. …  I have to pinch myself sometimes because I feel that I am dreaming.
