"         I was on a United Express flight from Los Angeles to Monterey, California, a few weeks ago, and watching the sun going down across the broad expanse of Monterey Bay. It was a magical sight, matching my excitement, for I was on a mission to buy a car. In fact, my wife, Patty, said this was probably as fine a three-day outing as I&amp;#039;d ever had and she was correct.   I landed in Monterey, and was met by my friend Gordon McCall of McCall Motorworks, who whisked me over to his shop at the airport where my car was waiting \u2014 a 1992 500E, the limited-production model assembled by and built to run at high speeds. I drove the car away from Gordon&amp;#039;s shop and over to Cypress Point Club, where I bought the car from my friend Gary Laughlin. We had a wonderful chicken a la king dinner at the club, and Gary had arranged a room for me upstairs over the clubhouse.   The next day I went to Pebble Beach for a round of golf with the top management of Corporation in America, and we all agreed we had never experienced a more beautiful day&amp;#039;s weather at Pebble Beach. Early the next morning, I drove my &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; car home, enjoying some six hours of tinkering with and learning all the controls.   In telling this story, several readers then asked about what the rest of the staff is driving these days, and I realized we haven&amp;#039;t published the list for several years. So, here it is.   Art Director Richard Baron and his wife, Patti: 1965 Jaguar E-Type Roadster; 1988 ; 2002 Volvo V70 T5 Wagon; and Richard and I share ownership of a 1950 Ford F-1 pickup truck.   Engineering Editor Dennis Simanaitis and his wife, Dorothy: 1965 Morgan Plus 4 4-Passenger Family Tourer, 1971 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe, and 1989 Mazda Miata.   Detroit Editor Matt DeLorenzo and his wife, Jane: 2002 , which is a great family hauler and has heated seats!   International Editor Sam Mitani and his wife, Yuki, share a 1993 Suzuki Sidekick, although I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ve ever seen Sam driving it.   Executive Editor Doug Kott is the proud owner of a 1989 Porsche 944S2 used in frequent Porsche club autocross events in San Diego (and in fact is 2002&amp;#039;s champion in his class!).   Managing Editor Ellida Maki admits &amp;quot;you can take a gal out of the Northwoods, but you can&amp;#039;t take the Northwoods out of the gal,&amp;quot; and hence she has a 1987 Jeep Comanche pickup. In her heart, though, lurks a lust for a Jaguar XJ-S V-12 convertible.   Senior Editor Andy Bornhop and his wife, Patty, make good use of a 1999 Dodge Ram Wagon for hauling their three young sons around to school and sports, and Andy has a 1986 Honda XL600R motorcycle.   Road Test Editor Patrick Hong and his wife, Elise, have a new baby boy, so they have recently bought a 2003 Mazda MPV.   Online Services Editor Kim Wolfkill and his wife, Pat: a turbocharged 1987 Toyota 4x4 pickup and a 2002 GLX.   Our two Associate Editors, Jim Hall and Mike Monticello, have cars, though we rarely see them. Jim&amp;#039;s is a 1966 Dodge Dart GT convertible, while Mike just bought the 1990 Acura Integra GS that was Elise Hong&amp;#039;s car. Mike is planning autocross modifications.   Copy Editor Jerilyn Jeffery is married to a true motorhead, Brian, and they have a 1952 MG TD in pieces, a 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite, a 1965 Mini Cooper S, a 1988 Honda Civic Hatchback, a 1993 Dodge Dakota pickup and a 2003 Mazda Proteg\u00E95, Jerilyn&amp;#039;s first-ever brand-new car.   Production Editor Cheryl Cooper enjoys a 2002 Infiniti G20 which, she says, &amp;quot;could use more horsepower...then again, so could I occasionally.&amp;quot;   Editorial Secretary Julie Branch, my trusted assistant, along with her partner Rick Young, share a 1987 Toyota pickup (Julie&amp;#039;s first new vehicle, which now has 246,000 miles), a 1984 Chevrolet Camaro and a 1996 Honda Accord.   Librarian Jane Barrett and her partner, John Bjorkman (he&amp;#039;s a member of the Dry Lakes 200-mph Club) have between them a 1997 , a 1997 BMW 740iL, a 1999 Ford F-350 to tow the Lakes racer, and a 1948 Anglia replica panel wagon with a small-block V-8 engine!   Road Test Assistant Shaun Bailey, still a college student, just sold his 1991 Nissan 240SX so he spends most of his time on his 1992 Suzuki GSX-R 600 motorcycle.   Associate Art Director Bert Swift is a lifelong car enthusiast who owns a beautifully restored 1976 Triumph TR6, a 1995 BMW 318ti Club Sport, and a 1992 Yamaha FZR600 motorcycle.   Assistant Art Director Tanya Owens Nuchols has a 1988 Honda Civic LX that she bought used about five years ago.   Among our three Editors-at-Large, Peter Egan, John Lamm and Joe Rusz, we find an abundance of exotica: Peter and his wife, Barb, enjoy a 1967 Jaguar E-Type Coupe, a 1997 Ford E-150 Econoline van, a 1972 Lola 204 Formula Ford, a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and six motorcycles. John and Scheri Lamm have a 1996 Mercedes-Benz C220 and a 1955 Lancia Aurelia B-20. Joe and Carolyn Rusz have a 1990 Mitsubishi Mirage that used to be another of Elise Hong&amp;#039;s cars and which they leave at their home on Maui. They also have mainland cars: Joe&amp;#039;s original 1967 Porsche 911 and a 1986 Toyota Camry. And that&amp;#039;s it. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
