He was a car enthusiast. He had a passion for wanting his vehicles to be so clean it would shine on a cloudy day. He wanted his vehicles to stand out by adding tinted windows, wheels, stripes, and other car accessories. A couple of his famous sayings were "Getting a car is one thing, and keeping a car is another." & "There is more to a car than just putting gas in it."
