I have jumped from one job to another. Have been a property consultant and then a supervisor. Now, by God’s grace, I was blessed with an opportunity to become a general manager of an upcoming brand of cars: Great Wall Motors.

It’s all good except for one thing: I’m not a car savvy. Meaning, I’m really not into cars.

It’s really important for me to get myself interested with cars as I would be in the automotive industry. I know that I’ll be more effective that way. So what I did was I tried to immerse myself in cars. I talk to car enthusiasts, play racing games, reading auto blogs, browsing some pictures, going to auto shops, reading car how-to’s, attending car shows, and so on.. I need an inspiration. I want to be interested or better yet, be in love with cars and the industry itself.

One Sunday morning, when I was driving myself to work, I suddenly hear a loud ZOOOM!! Then a yellow Porsche 911 Carrera-S appeared in front of me. About 5 seconds after, another Porsche appeared – this time it’s colored white. A little later 2 Porsche’s, a black and an orange zoomed pass me. I then look at the rear mirror to see if there’s more. But then I saw an unfamiliar face…such a beautiful thing to see…headlight glows like the stars in the night…tantalizing white paint job…and it’s coming…fast. Really fast.

As that gorgeous thing pass me by, I made sure that I won’t miss the chance to know her. So I looked at her rear name plate…it says…Audi R8…*hick* I’m in Love.

That was the first time that I felt very inspired about cars. Every time I go online, I Stumble on cars. I’ve been browsing for cars for quite sometime now, and another car made me feel inspired. It’s the Ford Shelby Mustang – Awesome muscle car.
