He was one of the proponents in getting some laws passed that allowed cars like the 959 to be imported legally.

I just have a bunch of subscriptions to Forbes, Entrepreneur etc. I'm not a Gates stalker lol. I remember when people were trying to import some cars that were not allowed here he helped to pass the law, mainly b/c he had owned some cars like the 959 that for years were stuck on holding cells I guess you could call it in the U.S., untill the law was passed.

My brain is photographic, like back in college I rarely studied, I just couldn't, too hard for me to sit there for hours reading etc and I don't have a.d.d. or anything. When I did study I actually did worse on test. About an hour before class I would review everything and ace all the test, even when I had months to prepare for a project, I'd start like 2 nights before and wing it and ace lol. Its like my brain shuts off when it stuff that doesn't interest me. But like on one presentation I went all out comparing auto manufacturers, showing advantages of platform sharing, delving into the stock specifics over the years for the companies to compare among trends etc, the Professor was blown away lol.

AHA! Your true identity disclosed, Carlos! Don't try to hide it - secret is out! Besides, your envied pile of detailed supplies - which fill a house - is a dead giveaway.
you tried to distract us by questioning Gary's identity!!!
