Miki Taka - 2009 Miss Formula D

Like this entire interview. [laughter] Another little known fact is that you actually wrench on your car . . .
Indeed! I'm all about learning new things, saving a few bucks and getting my hands dirty, so when it came to fixing my car it was only natural. I'm also a very inquisitive person, so everything I learned came from asking questions and researching online. Now, I can do tune ups, oil changes, and I also do my own brake work. For the more serious work, I've been lucky not to have needed anything so far.

I'm blowing my wad here, but the last little known fact I have is that you used to sell auto insurance in your former life. Any tips you'd like to impart?
Someone did their homework! [laughs]

Some would call it e-stalking, but whatever.
[laughs] I did indeed sell insurance in the great state of New York. My first tip would be to keep your driving record as clean as possible. Second, when shopping for auto insurance, be careful not to base it solely on price. Minimum coverage really isn't the way to go. Make sure to go with a reputable company and get coverage limits that will really protect you in a worst-case scenario. After all, that's what insurance is for. We all hope to never use it, but it sucks to be without the proper coverage when we actually need it.

That was mighty Geico of you. How about for the next Miss Formula D? Any tips you'd like to impart?
I'm very excited for her, whoever she may be. My advice would be that she take the time to know the sport and the drivers. It's also really important to engage the fans of Formula D. Be involved. It will make being Miss Formula D that much more meaningful.

So now that your FD reign has met its end, what are you plans?
Although I'll miss FD, I'm at my prime and there's nowhere to go but up. I fully intend to continue traveling, while working with Prestigious Models. I'm excited about all the opportunities that came from this year and am going to continue working in front of the camera and tearing it up behind the DJ booth. Keep your eyes peeled!
