As an industry analyst, market forecaster, marketing strategist, writer, and historian, Sam Fiorani ("The 1^st Annual Automotive Traveler's Car Guide") has more slashes next to his name than a Hollywood mogul. He writes to tell stories about cars, to educate and inform, and to impress his 11th-grade English teacher, Mrs. Gardill, who told him to find a day job. His current projects include a regular newspaper column, a book on little-known cars of the 1980s, staying ahead of the oil spewing from his MG, and finding sponsors for the restoration of his 20-year-old pocket rocket.
