Carla and Robert Lawson are members of the Clarksville Gearheads Car Club. Carla is also one of our beautiful dolls! I asked her what she likes about the local car scene. She said, “My husband Robert and I enjoy seeing the mods people have done and talking to others. I think the cool thing is watching everyone’s eyes trying to figure out what kind of car we have if they haven’t seen one before.”
Carla’s car, which she calls George, is a gorgeous yellow 2014 Lotus Evora S 2x2. She has owned the car for little over a year. They researched quite a few cars in the same range including Audi, Acura and Ferrari. It came down to maintenance cost over a period of time. They added Plack Exhaust which decreased the weight by 45 lbs., added cold air intake, supercharger pulley and added the 400 rear spoiler. Future plans include adding a Komotec 430 package that will increase hp by sixty.
I asked Carla and Robert if this is their dream car. Robert said, “This was my dream car but I would love the Lamborghini Diablo or Ferrari 308.” Yes please, I will take a Lamborghini also! Carla said, “I am in love with the new Lotus Evija, Ferrari Dino (she actually got to sit in one) or a 5500 Dodge Limited, she is a horse girl and needs to be able to haul! Where are their favorite places to drive? She said, “Rob likes going out on the road that we live on and Franklin Road. Carla likes driving the highway that they live on, any four lane close by and going to Lexington, Kentucky.” Carla has promised me a ride in this gorgeous car and I can hardly wait!
They moved in 2000 from Huntsville, Alabama. They franchised and relocated to Russellville, Kentucky, Rob and Carla are restaurant owners. Rob is a gifted guitarist and sings really well. He loves the hair bands. Carla has Arabian horses and loves to ride when she gets a chance. They have three dogs, two cats, eight horses and whatever else shows up at the barn at feeding time.
