CA&E: What are your plans? Are you thinking of building another CES car this year?
DR: Whatever comes next. I have a couple of big projects in mind, but I have to find sponsors for them. We'll find what's next in the crazy life of the Fish. I finally realized what kind of fish I am after 18 years: I'm a catfish.
CA&E: Why a catfish?
DR: Because I'll have to use all those nine lives to survive in this industry. They have tried to kill this fish; they have tried to fish him out of the water. Somehow I've kept on swimming. And Vito gave me the perfect nickname, Intocable [Spanish for "untouchable"] because after 18 years after all the bad things that have happened, I'm still the same guy. I'm still here and I still got a lot more to give. So if you guys like this car, trust me, wait till you see the next one.
