Deb Evans knows how to travel in style. The CFO of $334.1 million-assets Bank of Lancaster in Kilmarnock, Va., has two types of horsepower and even steam power in her repertoire. With a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from General Motors Institute (now Kettering University), her love for all rides should come as no surprise. Most recently, Evans purchased a 2008 Z51 Corvette. When she brought the new car home on April Fools' Day, it wasn't a joke, and it fulfilled a long-held childhood dream that was first kindled by working on cars with her father. "The reason I got interested in Corvettes and cars was my father had a 1939 Ford that he had hopped up for street racing." He put in a Corvette engine and did some things to the suspension, says Evans. "He and I rebuilt that engine when I was in high school."
