FA: So, what's your name? And if you had to have a racing nickname what would it be?
EC: My name's Evan Daniel Clark. And about the nickname, well, my aunt always used to call me Ed since I was little, since my first name is Evan and my second name is Daniel and no one else calls me Ed. I always thought that was cool for some reason, so yeah, Ed.
FA: Just Ed?
EC: Yeah *laughs* it's like the least dramatic answer but…
FA: Yeah I was expecting something a little more fierce!
FA: Do you have any other cars?
EC: Yeah, I have anothеr E36 M3, four-door, with an S54 motor in it, the engine from thе E46 M3, and I just sold my 1974 BMW 2002.
FA: When did you realize you were a car guy? When did you feel that it wasn't just something you kinda cared about?
EC: Let me give you an example, I found this piece of paper, during a school exercise in second grade, about what you wanted your family to be and what you wanted to be when you grew up, and I wrote that I wanted to be a car designer, which was funny because after I studied car design I found this piece of paper again and I was like "Oh my god! This is crazy." I would've never thought I was interested in cars for so long.
FA: If money was no object, what car would you pick? You can pick one-offs.
EC: *Long silence* I'd have to pick—and currently it might sound kinda like a cliché—but I swear it's been my pick for a long time, the Ferrari 250 GTO.
FA: What do you think about modern cars in general, do you think cars are losing their 'soul'?
EC: Well, you know, on one hand I feel like, it may be hard to say because we're living in the period where it's hard to say what lived on from [the old classics] but, on the other hand, they're constantly turning in cars that the consumer wants, so you're constantly adjusting the car for the various world markets. I like the fact that brands now are to starting to recognize that 'Soul' people that want. I feel BMW is going back to that a little bit, you know, trying to 'Purify' their sports cars, because they've had fast cars, but it's been a while since they had a proper sports car.
