It’s always interesting when you come across a fellow-petrol head, especially a Porsche enthusiast while sitting across a board room table. Not long ago our PITSTOP profile guest Mark Proto and I were “killing time” before a meeting and came to the realization that we were both car enthusiasts, and Mark has some really interesting stories to share. We talk about his various Porsches, BMWs and about his families racing past which is outlined in a recent book “The Beltsville Shell: You Are What You Drive.”
