Revved Up
When he wasn’t obsessing over cars, Steven was participating in cross country for the past two years. Although he has since hung up his running shoes, there’s still plenty on his plate. In his spare time, he is working toward his pilot’s license. With an entrepreneurial spirit and an impressive work ethic, it’s clear that the incoming junior will go far… even if he doesn’t know where yet. For two more years, Steven will go home from high school and see a poster from long ago. It’s a picture of a 2006 Ferrari F430 with a note that says “due 2020.” He has wanted that car since it was released when he was four years old. While he realizes now that his former goal will likely not hit its due date, he’s been around far nicer cars since he started Cars and Coffee Southlake. He grimaces when asked what his favorite car in attendance has been, but the Bugatti Chiron from January’s event is top of mind. And why wouldn’t it be? At $3 million, it’s one of the world’s most expensive production vehicles. No matter what kind of cars show up, with seven events under his belt (May’s event was canceled due to inclement weather.), Steven has two major takeaways. "Weather is the scariest variable,” he says. "I've learned that it's a lot harder to do than I originally thought. It's tough, it takes a lot of man hours, a lot of manual labor." Hopefully, the skies will stay clear for his upcoming event this month. While everyone around him prepares for football’s return, Steven will be working hard to keep Cars and Coffee Southlake an event that people look forward to every month. 22 • AUG 19
