CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
When I was 15, my grandparents helped me buy a 1968 Mustang. I spent the next 8 to 9 months restoring the car. After high school football practice one summer, I had an accident with the car. No one was hurt, but the left fender crumbled into the hood. I got a ride back to my house, and the car was towed home. I was so upset, that I was inconsolable. My mother told me she was glad I was ok. I grew up a lot that day. I realized that my poor choices had done this to the car I loved so much. I knew I had to tone it back a bit.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
My first special car was my 1968 Mustang. After my accident, I had that car restored to be better than it was.
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
The best automotive advice I received was from my father, Rick Reighard, and it is to never forget the cost of ownership.
