Q: Why do you call your car Lisa?

A: That is the name of my alter ego. You know how Beyonce has Sasha Fierce, I have Lisa. She is just the more outgoing party version of who I am.

Q: How did you and Lisa end up together?

A: After finishing up at Denison University, I moved back from Ohio a couple of years ago. I played around for a while. Then I went to grad school. Finally I decided I really wanted to get a car. So as soon as I got enough money, I went to this janky, shady, little car dealership and the owner picked out this car for me.

I have had it for three years and haven’t had any problems with it. "
