Spotlight: David and Susan Price
What’s something about you (a fun fact) that not many people know?
Susan: German last name but nearly no German. Scottish redhead (which got Dave's attention).
Dave: Doesn't like roller coasters and afraid of heights but became an aerobatic and OCF (out-of-control flight) expert.
What is your favorite hobby?
Susan: Reading and cooking
David: Working on old cars
What would it be if you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life?
Susan: Hellish. Can't eat the same thing.
Dave: Susan's meatloaf
What’s one item you can’t live without?
Susan: Music
Dave: Hats
Which car that you have owned has been dearest to your heart?
Susan: 1977 280Z. Currently being brought back to show-quality. Dave needs to stop working on that darn FJ40 and get back on my Z!
Dave: 1968 Torino GT sport roof, 351W, toploader close-ratio 4-speed, 411 rear end. We lived the American Graffiti scene, cruising the loop on Market and First Streets in San Jose, CA as teenagers.
When did you join the car club, and why?
Joined in 2021. Love to think about cars, love to look at cars, love to talk about cars, love to drive in cars. "Love cars, love people and love life", as Mr. K. said.
What car are you most fond of and why?
Dave's current favorite is the 1967 Tiger. Carroll Shelby designed it as a first-gen Mustang eater.
Susan's is the 280Z. Those lines are perfect. Doesn't need pinstripes, doesn't need anything.
What do you like most about the car club, what do you like the least?
Hanging out with people who love cars.
What is your most memorable road trip or vacation from your childhood?
Susan: Club trip to Yosemite every year in high school.
Dave: Route 66 through Arizona before I-40 was completed.
Dave and Susan have moved to Prescott. We probably won't see them as often as before. Their contributions to the club were invaluable. Thank you for presenting as guest speaker for the monthly meetings, sitting on the Car Show Committee, and being members of the SCC Board. You will be sorely missed.
