Join me as I take a ride with Bill Hayes, an environmental attorney and car enthusiast originally from upstate New York. Bill takes us down memory lane with stories of his first car, a 1975 Volkswagen Scirocco, and the adventures it brought him. You won't want to miss his fascinating tales of owning a classic 1972 BMW 3.0 CS, complete with unforgettable modifications. Bill also shares an adrenaline-pumping sea kayaking expedition in Baja, culminating in a pulse-quickening encounter with local authorities.
We then shift gears to explore the future of automotive technology with insights from Bill's career in environmental law. Starting at a firm representing Honda, Bill's passion for cars and environmental issues led him to collaborate with several Japanese automakers recognized for their green ethics. Our discussion spans the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), the practicality of hybrids, and the challenges posed by hydrogen infrastructure. Bill also opens up about his personal dream of kayaking the entire Seneca Lake, a heartfelt tribute to his late father's love for the sport.
In our final stretch, we reminisce about community spirit and the joy of organizing car shows to support a local cause. Bill leaves us with life advice which came directly from his father, who coined the saying, "It is clear up ahead". Bill's stories are filled with camaraderie and laughter. Lastly, Bill shares two of his favorite charities. The Ohio River Foundation and Learning Grove.
