- Description
- Real name : Mike Hayes. I like to say that I was born in the back seat of a 1960 Corvair, but that isn't quite true. To coin a pretentious phrase, I am a Vehicular Minimalist. As much as I love to wax nostalgic over relics from the Great Brougham Epoch, the cars that I love most are plain and simple econoboxes. Currently in a LTR with a low-mileage 1992 Geo Prizm.
