She Wasn’t a Car Enthusiast When my husband and I go to car events or the Royu Driveway and chat with fellow car lovers, the conversation often leads to comments like, “It’s great that you both enjoy cars as a couple.” Sometimes, people ask, “Was your wife always interested in cars?” To that, I reply, “No, I originally had no interest in cars at all… I understood the Prius, but beyond that, I really didn’t...
