Bob, it was nice seeing you around the paddock during the ALMS weekend
at Road Atlanta. I know this is a stock question, but what do you, Hobbs
and Matchett drive on the street?


I don't think Steve owns a car at home in France. Hobbs usually drives a company car off the lot of his Honda dealership in Glendale, Wisconsin, probably a snazzy Accord. I drive an S2000, and I love it.

Further on in the Q/A

Q: I'm surprised you fit in an S2000- even with the top up??

Varsha: It's snug, but comfortable... And after all, friction equals fun.

Every once in a while during an F1 broadcast, he'll give a shout out to some group or another that writes in saying they're watching. We should put together a big note from all the S2000 owning F1 fans saying "Hi!"

I'm in Section 12, row Z (not the top) seats 6,7. I'll keep an eye out for you.

I LOVE USGP WEEKEND! If you haven't been to an F1 race, GO!

RACE CARS! BEER! CORN DOGS! GIANT TURKEY LEGS!
