BMW
fanatic & manager of recycled parts here at
Terry Sayther Automotive. Rhett was born (&
raised) in New Braunfels, TX in 1979, you may remember
his birthday because it was the same day president
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan was executed. Can
you still remember where you were when you first
heard about it? I can....Anyway, after a rigorous
schooling in New Braunfels, Rhett went on to Southwest
Texas State University (also known as Texas State)
where he
graduated with a B.S. degree.
Rhett
was always a lover of cars, & after having custom
rods/ old cars & making fun of BMWs for four
years, he finally got to drive an E30 M3 and was
sold. Once he had his own BMW, (1990 318is) he began
to work on it all the time. As he was working on
it, he found that he needed to replace some of the
car's original parts, so of course he started coming
to Terry Sayther Automotive for all of his used
part needs. He visited Terry's shop as a customer
off & on for 2 years, & then after 3 months
of unemployment, he joined the team. Rhett started
doing odds & ends around the shop, getting familliar
with the used parts part of the business. After
a few months, Rhett became the Recycled Parts Manager,
selling used parts on eBay,from the website &
for local customers.
In the
fall of 2004, Terry, Debbie & Rhett went on
the BMW
vintage marathon where Rhett took thousands
of photos of the beautiful scenery & beautiful
BMWs as the official photographer of the tour. One
of his photos was chosen as the cover of Roundel
magazine. Rhett recently installed a late model
M52 into his 318is, & boy does that kitty purr!
One of Rhett's favorite stories is about the time
he went to IHOP and found a piece of toast resembling
the crucifix which ended up selling on eBay for
$18000. Rhett is an aspiring black market baby dealer,
all while spear-heading
the research feasability of cyborg deer. Rhett is
also personally responsible for eating the last
deviled egg this past Christmas. Rhett has many
hobbies, but some of his favorites include: long
walks in the park in his car, driving fast in his
car, vintage racing, working on his car, thinking
about how much money he can spend on..his...girlfriend....uhhh
..I mean car..
