Car Club is in Mr. Hincka’s room, a teacher who teaches basic car care for everyone. “16, that’s when I got my drivers license, something went wrong with my car and I took a stronger interest.” Mr. Hincka says. Car ownership and having a drivers license is what inspired him to like cars. “ I have appreciation for old ones, muscle car era is the highlight for many people.” Mr. Hincka is very fond of the 1978 ford F1-50. “Alot of people are not likely to look at auto as an elective; I renamed it to basic car care for everyone so it appeals to male and females.” Driving is a part of everyone’s daily lives, some people aren’t interested. “Foolish, anyone who drives a car should know how to take care of it.” Mr. Hincka exclaims. “ a lot of feedback saying they would of wished I had that, They’ll appreciate later in life.” Mr. Hincka talking about the class. He gets asked all the time to fix cars. “I got to be selective, I have to say no, but I do what I can to help people out.” Mr. Hincka has been to the auto show a couple of times.
