General Motor’s Dodge has already announced the four finalists of the "Are You Tuned Out?" US search for the most outstanding car enthusiast and car tuner. Americans spend more than 18 billion hours tuning up and upgrading their cars every year. These four finalists represent the millions of car enthusiasts who have the knowledge on how to give their cars a few interesting tune ups.
The Auto Channel was able to identify these four finalists:
David Mayo of Philadelphia, Pa. - Mayo spends more time with his car than any member of his family. He's so tuned out his family told him that cars are the reason he's not married. He's addicted to tuning and admits that his current car is killing his social life. If there's a rehab clinic for tuning, Mayo is the first to confess that he needs help.
Zach Madrid of Colorado Springs, Colo. - Not only is Madrid "completely tuned out ... he's a Mopar freak," according to his fiancee Tricia Champagne. He has a passion for cars and customizing, and has a sketch book full of visions, concepts and customizedversions of his favorite cars.
Anthony Baroni of Brentwood, Calif. - According to his wife Tiffany, Baroni is a "huge car nut." He spends countless hours researching cars online, in magazines and on TV, and is obsessed with the Dodge Caliber SRT4. He is so tuned in to tuning that he has even tried to teach his 3-year-old son to say, "Mommy, daddy needs a new Dodge."
Paul Martins of Canton, Mass. - According to Brenda Posipanko, she's lucky. She has a wonderful boyfriend who is faithful and loyal; the only problem is she never sees him. In addition to filling her dining room with a "gazillion assorted car parts," Martins spends all of his
free time under the hood of his project car.
