Surprised you didn’t know Mr. K. For some, he’s a God to them. There have been countless article & interview of him.
Not a historian lol I was the same way. Who cares bout who made it, as long as it drive the way I like, who cares. But when I find out bout designer, engineer, test driver & etc personality, you kinda figure out why they did some design or character of the car the way it is.
There’s no right or wrong for this. I just think, it’s fun to know who help develop the car and their goals/ideas from the car.

He knows not only Japanese automotive, but American, European and even some of small Asian automotive histories all the way down to small random detail specs. I’m very bias, so don’t think I’ll ever become like him... but something to try for... maybe
