What kind of car do you drive?

“I drive a 2010 BMW X5 Diesel, which I have had for two years now.”

What do you like about it?

“I enjoy that it is a diesel; you get about 22 miles to the gallon compared to 13 for a standard SUV of this size. I also like that it is stylish; its not big and boxy like other SUVs.”

Are you more of a point A to point B driver, or are you someone who enjoys exploring the open road?

“I would say that I am a combination of both. In real estate, you end up all over the place. When I have time, it is nice to drive around and explore some of these towns with really cool windy back roads. Its fun to explore places that you haven’t been before; unfortunately, I don’t always have the time to do so because I am so busy.”

What do you like to listen to when you are driving around?

“I live in my car so I like to listen to a lot of different things. I listen to everything from my iPod to satellite radio to local talk radio. I was recently driving around with some clients that relocated from South Carolina; they turned me onto country so I find myself listening to that once and a while.”

What is your first or favorite vehicle-related memory?

“Back in college I used to work for the Marriott as a valet. It was a really fun experience because I used to be able to drive all of these really amazing and new cars that had really low mileage, even if it was only for a few hundred feet.”
