How does a kid who learned about cars by watching Top Gear become a Mazda Motorsports factory club racer in less than four years? Today, we sit down with 21-year-old race car driver Joey Andrews, known across the internet as "The Stiglette," to talk about his journey from indoor karting to taking on the nation's top young drivers in the Spec MX-5 series.

In this episode of To All The Cars I've Loved Before, Joey takes us through his rapid ascent in the motorsport world and shares his earliest automotive memory: riding to preschool in his mom's ocean blue 1999 Porsche Boxster—a car she still owns and drives 26 years later! We also dive into the quirks of daily driving his very first car, which happens to be an ultra-rare, manual 2009 Volvo C30 T5 R-Design. Joey's Volvo currently holds the unofficial record as the third highest-mileage C30 in the world with a staggering 267,000 miles. Plus, we discuss his ultimate dream car (the futuristic Porsche 918 Spyder), what makes the Petersen Automotive Museum a hub for Los Angeles car culture, and how he is working with the FAT Karting League to make competitive motorsports more accessible.
