Q: Rank your favorite MLB teams from least favorite to favorite.
A: If you didn't know already, I am a big sports fan outside of being a car enthusiast, and Major League Baseball is one of the sports leagues I pay the most attention to. This ranking is entirely subjective and opinionated, so don't get angry if I don't think of your favorite team as highly as you. A few spots may change over time, but most are guaranteed to remain in their respective places.

Q: Rank your favorite NHL teams from least favorite to favorite.

Q: Would you rather lose Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in overtime or get swept in the Stanley Cup Final?
A: I would rather lose Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in overtime knowing I was that close to winning it all. It may be very painful and difficult to move on from, but being one goal away from winning the Cup is more of an accomplishment than going to the Cup Final and not winning a single game.
Q: Would you rather finish one game/point out of a playoff spot or finish dead last in the league?
A: I would rather finish one game/point out of a playoff spot because my team would have meaningful games toward the end of the season, played hard for much of the season, and have a better chance of making the playoffs next season. The team that finishes dead last would normally have a forgetful season and no motivation to be competitive. However, the team that finishes dead last would have the best odds to get the first overall selection in the following draft, so there is one benefit to the latter option.
Q: Would you rather retire as a role player with one championship or retire with no championships but have a hall of fame career?
A: I would rather retire as a role player with one championship. A hall of fame career would be nice, but the ultimate goal of every pro athlete and if I was a pro athlete is winning a championship. It would seem as if something would be missing if I retired with a hall of fame resume and no championship rings, but it happens to many players unfortunately.
Q: What is your favorite sports rivalry?
A: My favorite sports rivalry would have to be Giants-Dodgers. This rivalry has a ton of history to it, dating back to when these teams used to play in New York. Both of these teams are built similarly (big market team that is competitive and likes to spend) and are repped nearly everywhere. In many seasons they've played, the Giants and Dodgers have been pretty evenly matched. In terms of recent success, the Dodgers have won five consecutive NL West titles, while the Giants have won three World Series titles in a five-year span (2010, 2012, 2014). By now, you should already know who I favor in one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports.
The runner-up to Giants-Dodgers would be the NHL Battle of California, which consists of the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks (you should have already figured out who I am biased toward).
Q: What is your biggest pet peeve when behind the wheel?
A: While driving, I have at least a few pet peeves. These would include drivers going incredibly slow in the passing lane, not using their turn signals when necessary, running red lights and stop signs, and tailgating. However, my biggest pet peeve on the road would have to be when a driver pulls out right in front of me and goes at a snail's pace. I have witnessed this instance previously and it grinds my gears every time. Many of you can probably relate to these bad driving habits occurring in your daily commutes and wonder how some drivers even received their licenses to begin with.
Q: If you started your own car company, what would it be called? Where would it be located? What would its product plan be?
A: If I were to start my own car company, it would probably be known as CPF Automotive (CPF being my initials), and its headquarters would be located in either Silicon Valley (Santa Clara & San Mateo Counties), the greater L.A. area, or Orange County. If my car company grows large enough, I will more than likely have company headquarters in the Bay Area and the assembly plant somewhere in Southern California. The product plan would consist of at least one sedan, one SUV, one sports car, and maybe an entry-level hatchback. Sales would begin in the US and Canada through a dealer network and eventually expand to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and Latin America depending on how successful the company gets. Contracts will be discussed with various parts suppliers to assist in vehicle assembly.
