What do you like about this subject?

I enjoy trying to educate people about the cars. My expertise is in Subaru and I own ,and have owned several.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

To educate people about there vehicle and how it affects the environment. I hope to be able to help get the message out about how proper service can help reduce tail pipe emissions. I hope to make a difference on a larger scale than i can reach with my customers alone

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Subaru makes a great safe and reliable car.Really the only company to perfect the horizontal engine. And Maximize All wheel Drive around that platform

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Global warming is an issue we all have to face.Cars are a big part of the problem. I hope People will start to take the repair and service of there vehicles much more seriously and stop trying to save a buck at the expense of the Environment. I see People spend hundreds of dollars to detail there car, but look for the cheapest oil change possible.
