What was your first car? 

A 1971 Chevelle, with an LT1 and Turbo 350!  I got into a lot of trouble :)

Beach or Mountains?

Mountains!  I grew up a mile from the beach.  I lived in Boca Raton, FL for 17 years.  The beach is soooo over-rated!

Witnessing a compassionate act!  Also, anytime I get to experience the power of God changing a life.
