Starting in 2013, but even before then, I began what would become an extensive research project. My whole life, I was like the "Luigi Lavazza" of automotive, traveling everywhere in search of the best in design, while my dad, founder of Westside Collision, was the business expert.
If you've been watching TV lately, then you have no doubt heard the Lavazza Coffee jingles. Truth be told, they're some of the most beautiful commercials I've seen in years, but they always carry the same slogan, "In life, there is always more to taste!"
Growing-up, my dad's slogan for success was, and still is, a great one: Be what you are! Lately however, I've been finding that Mr. Lavazza and my own father have something in common: they're both looking to taste the "better flavors" of life.
That's why I came up with the idea behind my very first, supercar creation: the "CSX500." Because people kept asking me, if you're disabled and trying to tap into the motoring market, then what makes you different?
The more research that I did into the able-bodied community, the more I found that they were right and I was wrong: hand controls and other adaptations can be bolted-on to nearly any vehicle, but there has never been a motoring venue/label geared toward the challenged community, and with the disabled gearhead in mind.
It took a while for me to see, but the more that I looked into it, the more that I realized that I wasn't building a car or starting a company...I was creating my own insignia.
That's what Alaimo Motors is, and if it can't exist as a real company or entity, then maybe it could simply get its start as an idea, and I think that's the hardest part of any endeavor!
