Buying a car before he could drive was the best thing that could ever happen to a 14-year-old kid. Hopping on his bike and taking a carburetor to the local German mechanic to get some understanding of how to make things work, changed his life. I met John Benton at the EMPI open house last year. He built a 1641 cc motor with 48 IDs and came in there and ripped it wide open to 7000 RPMs and put out some impressive horsepower numbers 160 hp for a 1641 when I interviewed him he came across as your typical old-school Vw legend. He owns a shop called Benton Performance and he's been busy for the past few decades working on Porsche's 356s 912s and 911s. He's a charismatic guy with a great attitude and a love for classic air cooled cars. His story about how he got an Volkswagens and how that evolved eventually into working on Porsche. I think if you meet him, you definitely know he's a get it done kind of guy but he likes to have fun. If you're ever in Anaheim, look up Benton Peformance, and go check them out.

Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
