Drawn to opinions.

"I was thinking before you arrived: I'm three times your age, have thirty times your experience, and ten percent of your future."

It also explains why I'm sitting in the musty Best Western where Cumberford is staying for the Detroit auto show, learning about the seventy-five-year-old who has served as Automobile Magazine's design expert for as long as I've been alive.
