THE DEFENSE
Q: Chaz! How'd you get The Incredible Hunk?
A: My last car was messed up so I bought this one.
Q: What was wrong with the last one?
A: Everything. It had an oil leak. I was polluting the air pretty bad with it.
Q: How has this car been holding up in comparison?
A: Pretty good. It's an American car. It's got a V8 engine, so it's big and fast.
Q: Are you a fast driver?
A: Yes!
Q: What's the longest trip you've taken in this car?
A: The longest trip is probably Ocean City. I used to go to school at the Eastern Shore, so I go to the beach up there when it gets warm.
Q: What do you play when you drive around?
A: Rap or R&B. I never listen to the radio though, I use an iPhone.
Q: Is your daily commute long?
A: No. My job's only less than a mile away from my house in West Baltimore.
Q: Do you have any rules when people get in?
A: Not this one. The first car that I had, I had a lot of rules. No dirty feet was a big one. But this car, I don't even care.
Q: Did people break the rules?
A: No. If they did, they wouldn't ride!
