It takes time to restore an old historic car - you can't just do it overnight. That's how I look at the administration that came before Obama.
My son, who is 7, he passed a car in a parking lot that was probably a 1998 model, and he said, 'Wow, Dad, look at that old car.' I was looking around for an old car, and I realized that my old car maybe stops at 1965.
I worked my way through art school as an auto mechanic, doing various stuff including sanding bodywork and using Bondo filler.
My first car was a '56 Ford station wagon - cost 100 bucks.
I have one thing that I'm saving for my son. It's a 1965 Chevy Impala Super Sport. It's a beautiful sea-foam green color. It's like a teal green, white interior, and it's just a gorgeous car.
One thing that was really dope for me was that my dad had a '78 Corvette, '78 or '76 Corvette all my life. It always needed to be fixed up. I remember it's just been sitting in the driveway for years, and I got it fixed from top to bottom for his birthday.
Some people are drawn to a van Gogh or a Rembrandt. Some are attracted to exotic guns. Coins. Stamps. I am attracted to cars.
I have this old '57 Porsche Speedster, and the way the door closes, I'll just sit there and listen to the sound of the latch going, 'cluh-CLICK-click.' That door! I live for that door. Whatever the opposite of planned obsolescence is, that's what I'm into.
When I was young and foolish, and I had no money, I bought myself the carcass of a Jaguar E-Type. It was a rust bucket. I spent all my university savings trying to fix the car. I never did, and I finally sold it to recover at least part of my investment.
I love vintage cars because you can do so much more to them.
I've always been a car guy.
What I would like to do... once I take care of all my kids' student loans, is buy a red 1965 Mustang and fully restore it.
I once bought an old car back after I sold it because I missed it so much and I had forgotten that it never ran. It was a British racing car. You know, because I just wanted it back. I could only remember what was good about it.
I have an old Shelby '68 Mustang that I don't drive.
I enjoy racing historic motorcars from the '50s and '60s. The seed of my interest was planted when I was about 12 years old and took over my mother's Morris Minor. I drove it around my father's farm. But my favorite car is still a McLaren F1, which I have had for 10 years.
I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.
My first car was an '86 Honda Prelude. It was redone, so it had a new motor, new paint, rims... but it wasn't nearly as much as my Range Rover.
I like the old-school muscle cars.
I love old cars. They're hard to maintain - I've had a few myself - but great to drive.
We said we could do a full episode - find the car, build it, complete it and shoot it - in two weeks.
If you restore a car, and you're making money, then you're doing it wrong.
I've always loved old hot rods. I have four or five of them at home that I work on when I'm not working out.
Long before I had money, my passion for cars was there.
I used to have two Mustangs: a '67 Shelby and a '65.
I didn't get my first car until I was 22. It was a BMW 1602 and now I've got it back I'm waiting to restore it.
