Back in my gearhead days Engineer To Win was a near constant fixture next to the toilet.

I had no idea he lived nearby when I was in HS (also Gurney’s shop was within biking distance, also didn’t know it).

If I could go back I’d blow off all the dumb shit I did and go ask to push a broom all day just to hang around race cars and learn.
