Little footprints next to big footprints
April 24, 2013 07:00 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MBWe have a guest, and her name is Elana (pronounced El-AH-nah) Scherr. I say that because I always pronounce her name wrong even though I've known her for years. In fact, Elana is the person who handed me the keys to one of my favorite cars on the planet. Now, she holds down her writing skill at Hot Rod where she pens lovely pieces and sticks her pretty face in front of the camera to schmooze with the likes of Don Prudhomme himself. Still, we need to talk about new cars to start... but we get...
