About Cindy Stagg

Cindy is a life-long car enthusiast who began writing about cars in 2001 for Car-Data.com. As a kid, she helped her dad work on cars in their backyard, which included restoring a 1975 MGB. As a grown-up, she enjoys helping others make decisions about which car is right for them. She feels fortunate that she gets to combine two of her favorite things: cars and writing. Throw in a little chocolate, and she thinks she's the luckiest person in the world.

Cindy lives in Utah, where she enjoys paddle boarding at nearby lakes and driving fun cars on winding canyon roads. When she isn't thinking, writing, or dreaming about cars, Cindy teaches fifth grade and plots, er, plans ways to vacation in Hawaii.

She is married and is the mother of two grown children.
