Paul was a car guy! From his 38 Ford coupe, 57 Chevy, GTO Pontiac, to his Mazda Miata. Actually, anything with a motor caught his attention. A motor home and a boat could be added to his list of toys. I think he was borne with a wrench in his hand. We had many discussions about which engine was the best, and the best way to deliver fuel, be it four barrels, triple two barrels, or fuel injection. Paul was one of the good guys!!
