Since he was a boy, Scott has had a love affair with cars - and sports cars in particular. His fascination with speed and fast cars was first fueled by his grandfather, who would frequently take him to car shows or to the local track. In college, Scott studied automotive technologies, and would spend his formative years working for a Chevy dealership. He has authored several books and is the founder of CorvSport.
