For many of us, it all begins with a dream… inspired by a poster on the wall, a small collection of hot wheels, a race you saw on TV - but for our guest his dream began when he was 14 years old, his father purchased his dream car... a Dodge Viper. They started attending events together, learning more about the car, and meeting like-minded car enthusiasts. Joining the Viper Club of America, opened him up to understand what Viper owners expected from mechanics, how they wanted to modify their cars, and what they wanted to be restored. And with that, a single dream, realized... Havik Performance was founded to offer a premier automotive business that would provide white-glove treatment paired with constant communication, and above standard industry expectations. And with us to talk about all things Vipers is Mike Kuchavik founder of Havik Performance.
Joining us, and filling in for Brad, is guest host and newly minted Viper owner, the one and only… Mr. Andrew Bank!
