Charlie Romero

Charlie is Roadfly’s founder and publisher, and was taught to drive by his father in a 1974 Porsche 914.  That made poor Charlie a Porsche fanboy for life, and after driving a 911SC at 16, he bought and campaigned a variety of 944s at racetracks up and down the East Coast, earning awards and track records in his twenties.

Charlie never really got over the car bug, and after a career in real estate development he founded the Internet media firm that became Roadfly.  Charlie lives in McLean, VA with his wife and two daughters, and between the demands of family and business doesn’t have much time to play with cars anymore, excluding the machinery we review.  So his personal cars are a 2010 Toyota Highlander and a 2004 Tundra pickup.

 

First Car: 1978 Honda Accord LX Hatchback
Current Cars: 2004 Toyota Tundra Limited Double Cab 4×42010 Toyota Highlander Limited AWD
