“Why is the car a little on the janky side?” is the question Mick McGirr asked us during his interview. And his answer is a bit more complicated than the usual reasons. “The easy answer would be because it costs money to make a car beautiful and I’d rather spend that money on going fast,” he continued. “But, to be honest, it goes deeper than that. I’m an attorney and run a firm in Arizona—Phocus Law— where I have to be clean-shaven, well dressed, and generally dialed in all the time. My Camaro, affectionately known as ‘1SLOW69’ is my alter-ego. She’s loud, dirty, trashy, and has no inhibitions. I can’t bring myself to turn it into a flawless, beautiful car because it’s my outlet.”
