Q: So Kumar, it's been over a month since I was out in Carlisle to present you with your check - what's new in your life? Any changes?

A: Well, it's been a busy of a month. Work is hectic as hell. Working long hours everyday, and sometimes during the weekend too. But that just means more money for more mods. I plan on keeping my M, but have also been thinking of buying or leasing a new car. Although the Dodge Viper is my Dream Car - I think I will just settle for a G35 Coupe or a Lexus SC 400 for now.

Q: You had a number of ideas for ways to spend your $1,000K in prize money, so what did you end up doing with the cash?

A: I spent $500 of it by keeping me out-of-jail, LOL. As you know I was pulled over in Virginia for speeding (80 mph reckless driving - Criminal Misdemeanor) before Carlisle. I hired a lawyer and he dismissed the reckless driving charge. With the other $500, I have bought various parts for my M.

1) Bought an HID Fog light Kit to go with my HID Headlight.

2) Got a Door Popper Kit

3) Also got a Hood Scoop

Q: How about that huge Carster check -- did you show it off to many people? Have you taken it to any events?

A: Oh yes definitely. I have it framed and stuck on my wall. I keep getting lots of attention when people walk into my living room and see the HUGE check. All my friends have seen the check and have asked me about Carster. I had also told my co-workers about Carster. They were all excited to visit Carster and read the awesome article you had written about the Carlisle event and me. Even though I have been to various car shows - I have not taken the Check with me. Just fear that someone will steal it, LOL. I have a big mention of Carster and the $1000 Award on my Modification Sign Board. People keep asking me "What's Carster?" and I reply - It's the only site for a car enthusiast that keeps you entertained + it gives $1000 every month to the best car.

Q: In the fast lane of the Car Lifestyle, what's new for you? I saw the new neon lights, what's next?

A: Oh man, I keep thinking of mods everyday - all the time. I am at work right now thinking on what new to do with my car.

1) My next immediate mod would be shaving the door handles and installing the door poppers.

2) I also plan on installing a hood scoop and making it functional by fabricating a custom tube to fit the long K&N Ram Air-Filter.

3) I make my own computers from scratch and fabricate the case - I plan on using my skills to fabricate a custom computer case that goes in the center console. I will then cut the walls of the center console and put Plexiglas. This way all the interior computer parts and neon lights could be visible from outside. Lots of work involved, but I think I can do it.

Q: Well, to wrap this up, how do you like the new changes for Carster? What is your favorite feature?

A: I really love all the new features in Carster, especially the most recent one - The SHOWDOWN. I have challenged various people and I can really see whose car kicks ass. Also the concept of having car clubs is fun. I manage a couple of clubs @ Carster and it's a great way to meet new people and learn about their cars. We also have local car meets so that we can meet various Carster members in person and check out each other's rides. All other features of Carster like the Blog and News keeps me entertained. I really liked reading about the Audi R8. You really get some kool pictures. Looks like that new camera of yours works really great.

Ryan - I really appreciate all your hard work towards Carster. Carster is the #1 site for all car enthusiasts. Keep up the good work !!
