Speaking of building something from scratch, how about the Suddards? While I know a bit of the history behind GRM, I'd be really interested in an interview.

And I'd love to talk to Jim Glickenhaus at some point, too. Because in addition to giving the world insane supercars, he also gave the world "Maniac Cop," "The Exterminator" and "Basket Case 2." 

Another vote for Jim, he's who I want to be when I grow up.  
 

I appreciate everyone who said me but pretty much all of you have more interesting lives.

JG and I did a few podcasts that were kind of open.

Dumb GRM Stories: Volume 1

Here's a podcast where I think JG just interviewed me. 

For the full podcast list, just go here, and don't forget to listen to the one with Dave Brockie/Oderus Urungus

Similar to Randy, how about Andy Pilgrim, another one who made it from autocrossing a stock GTi to the factory Corvette and Cadillac teams, overall win at the Daytona 24 and into the National Corvette Museum's Hall of Fame, totally on talent.  I think he's right near you in Florida, too.  I've known Andy since the autocrossing days, he'll be a great interview.

  • GRM's version of Vinwiki would be pretty awesome with some of the interesting characters that float in and out of your circles of influence.

He's gone now but "Lil" John Buttera.

He was the last independent to qualify at Indy, with a car built in his garage and a hired driver.

He qualified 8th in 1987

Think about that for a minute.

How about someone from Hot Wheels?  How do they choose their cars?  Show them the Hot Wheels thread. Bonus maybe ask them to make some GRM themed cars for readers and supporters! GRM $2k Zamboni Hot Wheels anyone?
