Ben Harper: musician, car collector, carpooler.
In a Forbes Auto article earlier that month, the sweet-voiced Harper spoke to Shira Levine about the way high fuel prices have put him on his bike increasingly often and into friends’ cars to share rides.
Harper has got adequate money to have a small fleet of cars (a 1964 Buick Riviera, a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and a 2006 Lexus RX 400h) and he’s considering converting the Buick to pure electricity. He said, “I am a GM man. I am a Chevy guy. I have a ‘64 Buick Riviera that I am having converted into an electric car.
Harper recently tryout drove a 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG and looooved it, but it wastes too much fuel. “That isn’t the car for me now,” he said. “I am into being environmentally aware and focused. I want to be responsible.”
