ence to help people shop for cars and demystify the increas-
ingly complex retail environment.

JN: What is the future of auto reporting?
EA: More lone wolves. When I started out 30 years ago, if
you wanted to write about cars, you had to land a rare job
at a car magazine. Now, you can just hang your shingle out
on YouTube or Apple Podcasts or TikTok and learn how to
build an audience. It’s wonderfully egalitarian.
But I can’t say enough for the value of deep reporting,
getting the facts right and smart presentation — all those
things make a given piece of media trustworthy and, ulti-
mately, worthwhile.

JN: What was your first car?
EA: Let’s say my 1988 VW Golf and leave it there.

JN: Which car was the most fun to drive?
EA: Hands down, the Ferrari LaFerrari.

JN: If you could own just one car and money was no
object, what would you have?
EA: The 1962 Ferrari 250GT Short Wheelbase. Maybe the
coolest car that ever was. Perfect proportions, that great
V-12 engine and still drivable in traffic today (but you’d
have to be nuts to take an $8 million car down a crowded
freeway).

JN: Is there a singular event or person that you con-
sider a defining memory?
EA: My cup runneth over when it comes to defining mem-
ories. Driving a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing in the
Mille Miglia Storica in Italy. Taking Land Rover Defenders
through Wadi Rum in Jordan. Driving Mount Fuji in a
right-hand-drive Nissan Skyline GT-R.
Meeting heroes like Richard Petty, Stirling Moss and
Denise McCluggage. It’s all been more than I ever could
have asked for back when I was washing and gassing cars in
Ann Arbor.

JN: Thanks, Eddie! Now, I’m really jealous!!
