CM: How long have you been working in the auto parts business?

DW: Off and on for probably 18 years. I’ve always been with NAPA Auto Parts, but at different locations.

CM: What do you like most about your job?

CM: What’s the strangest question a customer has asked you?

DW: Well, I asked a customer how many lug holes a rotor had, and he asked me what I meant by that.

CM: What’s the coolest car you’ve ever owned or worked on?

DW: I’m a musician on the side. I play the bass guitar, and I sing in a couple bands.

CM: What’s your dream car?

DW: When I was a kid I had a poster on my wall of a 959 Porsche cabriolet. I’d say that’s as good a dream car as any.
