Tanner Foust - Almost Famous

Where did your love of cars come from?
As is probably the case with most enthusiasts, I think my Dad's car sparked my interest in cars. He bought a '76 Porsche 912E off the showroom floor and I grew up drooling over that machine. When I was old enough to cut grass I'd to move the 912 up and down the driveway 10 times just to get the law mower out of the garage.

About 2 weeks ago, after 32 years, my Dad told me he was selling the Porsche to make garage space. I bought it during the Irwindale finals week, and have driven it almost everyday since. Now that old Porsche smell is in my garage... and it's awesome!

You're also going to be driving the Import Tuner/TEIN/Rockstar Lexus IS F for Super Lap Battle. Any expectations?
I think the IS F is going to be great! It's got a great balance from the factory, the Toyota/Lexus V-8s are killer. With the tweaks from TEIN, I'm looking forward to wringing it out!

When you're not behind the wheel, what do you do?
I like to ride mountain bikes and if I'm in the mood for Rich Rutherford and Rhys to laugh at me, I'll surf a bit.

Rumors are abound of your new ride, being a Diaries drifter, can you tell our readers-avid might I add-what it is?
Um... no.

Boo! Last question: are you in for Formula D Diaries 2009?
Bring it!

Uh, we just did.
