Articles by Casey Novick

I started getting into cars back in high school, much like any other guy. I guess you could say I was a little late to "jump the gun," though. While my friends were talking about their favorite cars, the latest endeavors of Keiichi Tsuchiya, and taking auto class, I was still thinking that driving was a chore, only knew the Mustang by name, since my dad had that car, and spent most of my time at the arcade. Fast forward about a year, and my friends' influence rubbed off on me. I spent all my free time learning about cars on the Internet (having missed my chance at taking auto class), watching Initial D and drifting videos on YouTube, and lurked in the Automotive Section of ForumsHawaii. Now, a full-fledged car enthusiast, I bring my love for the automotive industry to SpeedHawaii. I've just grown to adore everything about cars and the things we can do with them. Hell, I've even grown to hold driving as dear as cars themselves. Now if only we could do something about our roads... The food that I wouldn't mind getting a heart attack from is pumpkin pie! My current whip is a 2010 Mazda3 s Sport hatch but my dream whip: Again, no way I can only pick one... But if I had to, it'd be the FC RX-7. Damn, I love that car! If I could have any video game super power, I would have super speed because I love speed.
